EN: A Filipino martial art focusing on kicks.
It's the OG Filipino foot-fighting style. Think of it as Pinoy Taekwondo, but probably developed from watching chickens fight. It's a martial art where your legs do all the talking (and kicking).
From 'sipa' (kick) + '-an' (locus suffix), literally 'place of kicking'.
ROOT MEANING: kick; a traditional Filipino game
