Arnis Program: Ages 14 and up

Arnis is a weapon and empty-hand style from the Philippines. Utilizing 26-inch rattan canes and safety-edged bladed weapons, Arnis classes are fast-moving and fun. Exertion is light to moderate.

The style of the late Grandmaster Remy Presas, Modern Arnis is a blend of Filippinio styles, Karate and Ju-Jitsu. Unlike other weapon styles in which the student trains empty-handed and eventually "graduates" to weapons,Arnis practitioners first learn the use of the weapons and later learn the empty-handed applications. The style is characterized by lightning quick and beautifully flowing movements of the canes interspersed with trapping, locking, and controlling techniques with the cane and empty hand. There is little class time spent on calisthenics; students warmup with a progression of techniques and footwork.

Benefits

Arnis is an extremely practical weapon art because, unlike other weapon styles which cannot be utilized without the weapon,the techniques of arnis apply with or without the weapon. It is an interesting hobby and a good form of light to moderate exercise. It is a flashy and fun activity with a fascinating history.
