What is Modern Arnis?

[Joe]

Ive never Heard of Arnis . I asked my Instructor he's heard of it but never studied. I am curious so any replies would be appreciated.

Modern Arnis is the Filipino Martial Art (FMA) that the late Grand Master Remy A. Presas (http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7912) founded.

The art teaches one how to defend themsleves with a stick/cane and even some knife techniques and also empty hands.
