Arnis / Escrima is a traditional martial art from the Philippines. Unlike other martial arts, Arnis focuses on weapons training from the beginning. Arnis weapons include stick, paired stick, knife and machete. We'll typically train with paired sticks. The training is partnered and the drills can become quite challenging.

Arnis is also becoming quite popular. Arnis is being used on many movies, films and TV shows including Mission Impossible 3, Blade 3, and Stargate Atlantis. In terms of a serious martial art, stick, knife and kubaton training starts right away. Also panantukan (hands) and dumog (grappling) drills. As with any serious martial art, studying Escrima seriously means having to get physical with other students and dealing with "aggressor scenarios". However, all drills and sparring are strictly supervised and if we are going to stick spar, we ensure we have the proper control, respect, and equipment. This being said, sparring is not necessary if you don't want to learn it. You can just learn the stick drills and get a great workout.

If you want a fun, fast paced, action filled, and challenging drill based martial art, then try Arnis today!
