Guerrero Arnis De Mano

Arnis, also known as Kali and Eskrima, is an indigenous Filipino Martial Art that comprises of Panandata (weaponry), Panuntukan (empty hands), Pagbuno (grappling and locking), Panandyakan (kicking) and Paghahanda (training and conditioning).  While "guerrero" is the Spanish word for "warrior".

Through out the Philippine history, Arnis or Kali has been utilized as defense of self, family, clan and the motherland. Arnis has been exhibited during the Battle of Mactan, Philippine Revolution against the Spaniards, and Philippine Guerilla resistance during Japanese occupation of the Philippines among others.  

Initially learned using weapons, Arnis is both an armed and unarmed fighting system with only effective and efficient techniques being passed through from one generation to another.

Guerrero Arnis de Mano (GADM) is the Arnis, Kali, Eskrima system that is founded by Guro Guerrero.  What sets Guerrero Arnis de Mano apart is it's Multi-Style System, Multi-Weapon System and Multi-range System referred to as "the tripartite"

 
While others can be considered as systems base on their fighting range (eg. Long range systems) or the way they handle weapons (eg. slash systems, witik systems, abanico systems), Guerrero Arnis de Mano is "counter system" utilizing different styles, range and weapon as counter to different styles, range and weapons. 
 
The tripartite concept is built into the training syllabus that is used by each student as he goes along to learn the art of Arnis, Kali, Eskrima.  The syllabus is progressive, building from one skill set to the other.
