Survival Arts x Bayani Art

Bayani Art, culture-bearer and one of the premier lifestyle brands of Pilipinx history in the United States, has partnered with Survival Arts to honor Warrior Queen Urduha.

Urduha, more commonly known as Princess Urduja, was a 14th century warrior queen of Tawalisi, in what is now known as Pangasinan. Princess Urduha was trained in the art of war since she was a child, and became an expert in using the kampilan and a skilled navigator. Known far and wide, she was famous for leading a retinue of women warriors who were skilled fighters, equestrians, and experts in weaponry. With bodies of strength and muscular physique, they were known as Kinalakihan, or Amazons. The legend of Princess Urduha can be attributed to the story of when she met the greatest traveler in history, Ibn Battuta. Learn more here.
