Modern Arnis

One of the most versatile martial arts in the world, Modern Arnis combines Jujitsu, Karate, and Filipino stick and knife fighting...

                           

 

Modern Arnis is a brilliantly conceived Filipino martial art developed by the late Grand Master Remy Amador Presas (right), blending the best elements of  Jujitsu, Karate, and Filipino stick and knife fighting. Grandmaster Presas combined the knowledge of many arts that he mastered during his lifetime. Professor Presas, a world champion fighter, created Modern Arnis and shared his knowledge with his students the world over.

Tapi-Tapi, which means counter for counter, is a primary stick fighting drill in Modern Arnis. This drill also enhances both empty hand and knife fighting abilities by teaching smooth flow from one technique to another. The over all training benefit is quick counter response to any given attack. "Finishing" follow ups include Filipino Jujitsu with  joint locking and take downs to ground submission. Although specializing in stick fighting and knife defense, all techniques are effective with  "empty hand", which makes Modern Arnis very comprehensive and extremely versatile.
