This class begins on the very first day working with weapons (baston), in coordinated pairs with other students. Almost all of the class is spent hands-on in drills and practice working on your technique, coordination, angles of attack, and counters to attacks. It is a style that focuses on speed and flow, applying traditional Filipino practice to modern day weapons like knives, guns, batons, and improvised weapons.
This class is open to beginners and advanced students alike. Regardless of current rank, age, or fitness level, you will see benefits from Modern Arnis practice.
Not only will you learn techniques to respond in self-defense situations, but you will immediately see an improvement in your dexterity and coordination. If you are interested in learning or improving on your stick and blade fighting, come over and try a class
The controlled movements of this martial art focus on strengthening the secondary, supportive muscle groups in the body as well as tendons and ligaments. This strengthening means that if you need to improve your range of motion, posture, core strength, joint flexibility, or just de-stress – Tai Chi is your ideal choice for a martial art.
