Modern Arnis is a very practical form of Filipino Martial Art developed by the late Grandmaster Remy A. Presas. The art is excellent for those interested in real life self-defense, and is both easy to learn and fun to practice.  Modern Arnis utilizes single and double 28" rattan canes, a main component of the art is the translation of these weapon techniques to the open hand. Modern Arnis blends the best elements of Filipino Jujitsu, Karate and stick & knife fighting into a brilliantly conceived, versatile and effective martial art. Students learn a fascinating variety of stick, knife, empty hand, and grappling techniques such as: blocks and disarm counters and reversals, sweeps and throws, ground control techniques, joint locks, flow drills, sinawalis, and cane sparring. Techniques are taught with single person twirling, two person drills and sparring, and kata application.

We welcome martial artists of all styles and skill levels as well as the student with no experience. Modern Arnis stands alone as a complete martial art system, yet its techniques work to enhance the effectiveness of any art.
