Modern Arnis 1 of 3

Modern Arnis Part 1 of 3 Modern Arnis is the system of Filipino fighting arts founded by Remy Presas as a selfdefense system. His goal was to create an injuryfree training method as well as an effective selfdefense 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 has called his system Kombatan. It is derived principally from the traditional Presas family style of the Bolo (machete) and the stickdueling art of Balintawak Eskrima, with influences from other Filipino and Japanese martial arts.
