What is Arnis De Cadena?
Arnis de Cadena is a melting pot of the finest war arts Guro Joel has had the privilege to be exposed to. Arnis De Cadena is not designed to teach sport, but to stick to the true ideals of the ancient Filipino Warriors and teach battle skills. Each student should personalize what he or she is taught and make it theirs. Our curriculum is just a guideline, our only goal is to put out quality Arnisadors and to have fun while doing that. Stick based is the term that we apply more often to these styles of Martial Arts as the beginner is taught with a stick but the movements of most styles can be translated to various conditions of armed or unarmed combat. The stick is a weapon but also it can be simply an extension of the hand and a training tool.
