The Professor left us a lot of material in the art that he created and promoted. That raises the question...should the art be evolved, or should it be preserved as the Professor left it to us? It was certainly continually evolving in the Professor's lifetime, and the name 'modern' would seem to...

Strikes w/ Sungkitis Drill By Guro Harold - 05-28-2010 11:46 PM ==================== A great "Old School" Modern Arnis technique to know and practice is practicing executing a follow-through Strike followed by a poke (sungkiti). This teaches a student a counter against someone who has...

Themed seminars? By Stan - 12-16-2009 10:56 AM ==================== Most of the Modern Arnis seminars I've either seen or been to are billed as "general" seminars. Attendees don't really know what's going to be taught until they get there. While I can see that this is a legacy of Professor...

Datu Tim, While we are on the subject of Modern Arnis, can you give a synopsis or rundown of what the "modules" or "training programs" within the WMAA are all about? For example, you have Modern Arnis and Kombaton listed which make perfect sense. However, you also have Progressive Sword...
