Thanks to Sabumnim for teaching the Arnis seminar!
We spent a lot of time on empty hand drills in both the beginner and advanced seminars, so the photos mostly show our students practicing joint locks and control holds. Arnis is a self-defense oriented art, and anything you do with a stick also holds empty hand application, hence the focus on empty hand defense.
A few important points from the seminar:
-“It’s all the same.” If it works, it works. Wise words from the Professor (Master Remy Presas).
-There are good and bad martial artists, not good and bad martial arts. Different styles just have different things they focus on or prefer.
