Modern Arnis
Is the system of Filipino martial arts founded by
the late Remy Presas as a self-defense system .
His goal was to create an injury-free training
method as well as an effective self-defense
system in order to preserve the older Arnis
systems . The term Modern Arnis was used by
Remy Presas younger brother Ernesto Presas
to describe his style of Filipino martial arts ;
since 1999 Ernesto Presas called his system
Kombatan . It is derived principally from the
traditional Presas family style of the
Bolo(Machete) and the stick-dueling art of
Balintawak Eskrima , with influences from other
Filipino and Japanese martial arts .
TRAINING
One of the characteristics ofFilipino martial arts
is the use of weapons from the very beginning
of training and Modern Arnis is no exception.
The primary weapon is the rattan stick, called a
cane orbaston(baton), which varies in size, but
is usually about 28inches (71cm) in length.
Both single and double stick techniques are
taught, with an emphasis on the former;
unarmed defenses against the stick and against
bladed weapons (which the stick is sometimes
taken to represent) are a part of the curriculum.

waist

CORNER AND
COACHING

break in the action. Corner men are not to communicate
with their fighter while action is in progress. Do not
remove any equipment, until the end of the match.
Helmet may be removed between rounds.
b)Sincerity-sincerity for victory's sake is not the all-consuming end of an Arnis player. It is the sincerity in
him to his fellowman and to his art that makes him shine
in the array of men. The will to win maybe inculcated,
but such tutelage should never end after the tick of the
ultimate second in the game but beyond the canvass and
the arena of competition. The martial art of Arnis, it
should be remembered, is a good medium of
development man's sense of dedication in all his
everyday endeavor and involvement. Sincerity is the
mother of trust and trust makes an institution of what
has been shattered by doubts. A man who is not sincere
will never have a true friend.
