New Modern Arnis Video
Hi Everyone,
It has been about a year since I lasted posted a martial arts video on youtube, but here is one of my newest videos that was made just this past week. In the video clip, I break down modern single sinawali with double vs. double and single vs. double poking drills, respectively. The drills come from Modern Arnis, which is a Filipino martial arts system founded by the late Grandmaster Remy Presas, whom I had the privilege of training with and being promoted to Black Belt by, back in 1991 in East Lansing, Michigan.
My partner for this drill is one of my two, 3rd Degree Black Belts, Evan Wiley.
