Modern Arnis is a system of Filipino martial arts founded by Remy Presas. It is derived from traditional Filipino martial arts like Balintawak Eskrima and focuses on single and double stick techniques. Presas aimed to make the training safer while preserving the effectiveness of Filipino martial arts. He introduced techniques like striking sticks instead of hands. Modern Arnis spread through Presas' teaching and books. After his death, the leadership splintered though various organizations continue teaching interpretations of the art. It uses a ranking system up to 11th degree black belt based on Tagalog numbers.

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 .
Arnis is a Philippines national martial art or sport , After President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed the Reoublict Act. No. 9850 in 2009. The act mandates the Department of Education to include the sport as a Physical Education course . Arnis will be included among the priority sports in Palarong Pambansa(National Games) beginning 2010.
Name : Remgio Amador Presas Born : December 19 , 1936 Hinigaran , Negros Occidental Died : August 28 , 2001 (brain cancer) Victoria , Canada Occupation : Teacher and Martial artist Known for : founding Modern Arnis and he is brother of Ernesto Presas
TRAINING One of the characteristics of Filipino 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 or baston (baton), which varies in size, but is usually about 28 inches (71 cm) 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.
It is said that, originally, the cane was considered sacred by practitioners (Arnisadores), and therefore an arnis practitioner was expected to hit his cane at the hand or forearm of his sparring partner and not at the latter's cane. This had the advantage of being the preferred method in actual combat, referred to as "defanging the snake", that is, making the opponent drop his weapon so that he is less of a threat. However, it discouraged many would-be practitioners who found this training too painful and injury-inducing. The result was that the Filipino martial arts became in danger of dying out; in most areas of the Philippines, Japanese martial arts such as Karate and Judo were much more popular than the indigenous systems. Remy Presas' modernization of the training method was intended to help preserve the Filipino martial arts. He taught the method of hitting cane-on-cane during practice, which attracted more newcomers to the art and allowed the art to be taught in the Philippines' school system. "Defanging the snake" remains a principle of Modern Arnis, however, and in practical application, one would typically strike the hand or arm. The technique can be used empty- handed, where it is known as "limb destruction".
Training covers empty-hand self-defense (striking, locking, throwing, etc.) as well as the trademark single and double stick techniques of the Filipino martial arts. Other aspects of the art include espada y daga (sword and dagger fighting), sinawali (double stick weaving patterns), and tapi-tapi (locking drills with the stick). In addition to partner drills, Modern Arnis includes the use of anyo (kata), solo forms both with and without the stick. Emphasis is placed on fitting the art in with a student's previous training ("the art within your art"), smoothly reacting to changing situations in the fight ("the flow"), and countering the opponent's attempt to counter strikes directed at him ("tapi-tapi"). Practitioners are called arnisadors or Modern Arnis players. In addition to its Filipino influences, elements of Judo, Shotokan Karate, and Wally Jay's Small Circle Jujutsu appear in the system.
History of arnis the philippine school Remy Presas studied his family's system from an early age. He went on to study the Japanese systems of Shotokan Karate and Judo, achieving high rank in each; but he simultaneously studied a variety of other Filipino systems, most notably Venancio Bacon's Balintawak . Beginning with a small gymnasium in Bacolod in the 1950s, he attempted to spread the art to the local youth as both a cultural legacy and a form of physical development or sport. He taught the art at the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos. His desire to reinvigorate interest in his country's traditional martial art grew over time, and he began making modifications and improvements to what he had learned. In 1969 he moved to Manila at the request of a government official, and formed the Modern Arnis Federation of the Philippines. He was assisted by individuals such as those who now are on the Modern Arnis Senior Masters Council: Rodel Dagooc, Jerry dela Cruz, Roland Dantes, Vincente Sanchez, Rene Tongson and Cristino Vasquez. He continued to develop and spread his art, including via books, until political considerations forced him to relocate to North America.
In the wake of the 2001 death of Remy Preas, there has been a splintering of the remaining leadership of Modern Arnis. The IMAF, previously the organization of record for North American Modern Arnis practitioners, split into two subgroups, one headed by Randi Shea and one headed by Jeff Delaney; the remaining five Masters of Tapi-Tapi continue to be associated with the former group. Remy Presas' son Remy P. Presas and his siblings formed a group following his father's death, and Tim Hartman and Dieter Knuettel increased the independence of their organizations (the WMAA and DAV, respectively). Other groups, such as that headed by Kelly Worden, had become independent well before the founder's death (and with his support). Dan Anderson formed another branch of the art which he calls "MA80 System Arnis/Eskrima" which adds influences from Balintawak Eskrima and Integrated Eskrima. He heads this group out of Gresham, Oregon. While both IMAFs have claimed that rank must be certified through them to be valid, other individuals feel that the dynamic structure of the art, Remy Presas' frequent instructions to "make the art your own", their rank or title, and/or specific authority granted to them by the founder, mean that they are entitled to head their own organizations or groups that teach their own interpretation of the art.
In many ways, the situation is analogous to what occurred in the Jeet Kune Do and American Kenpo communities following the deaths of their popular and charismatic founders. In particular, the question of how high-ranking arnisadors should test for higher rank has been settled by different organizations in different ways. In some cases this has caused controversy. However, the fact remains that several groups are promoting what they see as 'traditional' Modern Arnis, while others are promoting variations of Modern Arnis, in keeping with its "modern" approach. The art is healthy and continues to attract students. Current practitioners of Modern Arnis or arts strongly influenced by Modern Arnis who head their own organization or group or are otherwise prominent include: Jeff Delaney, Tim Hartmanand Dieter Kn端ttel.
Belt Ranks Modern Arnis uses a ranking system similar to the Dan ranks used in Karate or other Japanese systems. There are some minor variations between organizations as to the exact number of belts. There are 10 or 11 black belt ranks in Modern Arnis , depending on the organization. They are numbered in Tagalog: Isa (pronounced as i-sah or e-sah; which literally means "one") Dalawa (pronounced dah-la-wah; as literally means "two") Tatlo (pronounced as tat-loh; literally means "three") Apat (pronounced as Ah-pat; literally means "four") Lima (pronounced as li-mah;literally means "five") Anim (pronounced as ah-neem; literally means "six") Pito (pronounced as pi-toh; literally means "seven") Walo (pronounced as "wah-loh"; literally means "eight") Siyam (pronounced as si-yam; literally means "nine") Sampu (pronounced as sam-po; literally means "ten") Labing-isa (in some organizations) (pronounced as lah-bing-i- sah; literally means "eleven")
Many groups use a "zero-degree" black belt rank as a probationary stage that comes before Isa. The actual name of the ranks is gender-specific. For men the rank is referred to asLakan (Tagalog for male) while for women it is referred to as Dayang (Tagalog for "female").Thus, a first degree black belt in Modern Arnis would be referred to as either aLakan Isa or a Dayang Isa, depending on his or her gender. The "zero-degree" rank, if used, is referred to as simply Lakan or Dayang. The black belt is traditionally bordered with red; however, some groups use a plain black belt.[10] In addition to rank, titles such as Datu, Commissioner, Master of Tapi-Tapi, Senior Master, Punong Guro, etc., have occasionally been granted to certain high- ranking individuals. The titleGuro is typically given to all Lakans and Dayangs.
