In this class Modern Arnis is the main curriculum but students will also learn techniques and concepts from other stick fighting systems. The focus is on solid technique and understanding of how the technique or concept applies to a fight. Sparring is a part of every class so students can find out what works and what doesn’t. Stick fighting is a great workout and a lot of fun!
“The cardinal principle in Arnis is respect for one’s opponent as a person and as a fighter, and as a sportsman.” The same principles that Grandmaster Remy A. Presas outlined in his book Modern Arnis: Philippine Martial Art “Stick Fighting”, also apply to this class. Other principles in Modern Arnis are character, sincerity, discipline, self-control, etiquette, and student loyalty.
Class is held Friday evenings from 6:45pm to 8pm. This class is for ages 14 years and up.
