Learn Arnis
Arnis is for Everyone
It's not about Power, it's all about expertise.
- Sparring
Everything comes back down to your ability to use your techniques at speed and realism. So, we include both padded and unpadded stick fighting in our program in order to learn how to deal with the speed and intensity of the Fight.
- Disarms
Ultimately, it is not about the weapon itself but rather the person wielding the blade, but by disarming your opponent you take the advantage. So, our philosophy with Disarms is that you discover the technique in motion. So, by repping the disarm 1000s of times in training you will find yourself disarming in the flow state.
- Single and Double Stick
We emphasize both single and double sticks in our training. Therefore, we start with the basics and move into faster more dynamic fighting. Both hands need to be lethal. In a world of dominant side, double stick fighting teaches the relationships between Left and Right hand fighting.
About the System
We train in an Arnis system called Luzviminda, developed by the late Grand Master Federico Lazo. Federico was one of three developers of the popular modern Arnis system. Though we train in all the different ranges our emphasis tends to be close and middle range fighting. Arnis is a Filipino Martial arts system that emphasizes stick and blade fighting. The Arnis system is not just for show but is a practical, efficient, and fluid system of Fighting. Not only that, our team has been training and teaching for over 15 years and has traveled the world to train with some of the best Stick Fighters.
