So in Modern Arnis (or FMA in general), when dealing with someone with another stick, do you strike to their stick or their hand/forarm when you "block"?
"Long ago, Arnis was a dying Filipino martial art, because of the wrong concepts in teaching the art to every student. The old practionars believed that the cane was sacred, thus blocking was aimed at the hand and the forearm and not at the cane. Most of the students got hurt and they automatically lost interest in learning arnis. ..... I have modified many antiquated techniques and introduced new ones which are easy to learn."
