ARNIS
[FILIPINO STICK AND EMPTY-HAND FIGHTING]
ARNIS, SOMETIMES CALLED ESCRIMA OR KALI, IS A MARTIAL ART, WHICH LENDS ITSELF READILY TO BORROWING AND ADAPTATION FROM OTHER MARTIAL ARTS.
MANY AMERICAN PRACTITIONERS HAVE BACKGROUNDS IN OTHER MARTIAL ARTS AND PRACTICE ARNIS TO BALANCE SOME OF THE HARDER ASPECTS OF OTHER DISCIPLINES THEY PRACTICE.
OUR EMPHASIS IS ON NON-OFFENSIVE, NON AGGRESSIVE TECHNIQUES, AND COOPERATION WITH ONE ANOTHER AS WE LEARN AND PRACTICE.
DESPITE OUR FREQUENT USE OF ONE OR TWO STICKS, WE ARE ALWAYS WORKING TOWARD EMPTY-HANDED TECHNIQUES
THE STICK IS MERELY AN EXTENSION OF THE HAND, THE ARM, THE BODY, AND, OF COURSE, THE INNER SPIRIT.
WE ARE ALWAYS INTERESTED IN HAVING NEW PRACTITIONERS AND KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE DISCIPLINE AND SKILLS YOU HAVE ACQUIRED AT SHODOKAN AND ELSEWHERE TO HELP YOU LEARN AND PRACTICE ARNIS.
WE INVITE YOU TO PRACTICE WITH US AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR ATTENDANCE.
