About Modern Arnis

 

Remy Presas studied his family’s system from an early age. He went on to study the Japanese systems of Shotokan Karate and Judo, achieving high rank in each; but he also studied a variety of other Filipino systems, most notably Venancio Bacon’s Balintawak. Beginning with a small gymnasium in Bacolod in the 1950s, he attempted to spread the art to the local youth as both a cultural legacy and a form of physical development or sport. He also taught the art at the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos.


His desire to reinvigorate interest in his country’s traditional martial arts grew over time, and he began making modifications and improvements to what he had learned.

In 1969 he moved to Manila at the request of a government official and formed the Modern Arnis Federation of the Philippines. He was assisted by individuals such as those who now are on the Modern Arnis Senior Masters Council: Rodel Dagooc, Jerry Dela Cruz, Roland Dantes, Vincente Sanchez, Rene Tongson, and Cristino Vasquez.

He continued to develop and spread his art, including via books, until political considerations forced him to relocate to North America.

There he met Wally Jay, George Dillman, and other martial artists who influenced his development of the art of Modern Arnis. In particular, many locks from Small Circle Jujitsu were added to Modern Arnis.

The art continued to grow and change, in technique and emphasis, though it always retained a focus on the single stick and general self-defense. Those who trained with Remy Presas in the United States in the 1970s and early 1980s experienced the art differently from those who began training in the late 1990s.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, he traveled extensively for seminars – the principal form of instruction in the system was through weekend training camps held around the world but especially in the U.S. – and also produced books and videos.

During this time he also experimented with different forms of titles and leadership in the art. The International Modern Arnis Federation Philippines would come to be the lead Modern Arnis organization in the Philippines, and the Deutschen Arnis Verband of Germany would be the lead organization in Europe.

In the United States, the International Modern Arnis Federation (IMAF) was the principal organization as far as certification was concerned, but the founder created a variety of titles that indicated some level of organizational or leadership authority in the art (as opposed to titles such as guro (“teacher”) or Punong Guro (“Headteacher”) that recognized teaching and/or technical ability).

Most prominent among these titles were Datu, meaning a chieftain or leader, awarded in this order to Shishir Inocalla, Kelly Worden, and Ric “Bong” Jornales (of Arnis Sikaran) (all in the 1980s).

The Masters of Tapi-Tapi titles were created to provide leadership and steerage for the IMAF following Remy Presas’ passing; the Datus were expected to take leadership roles that might see them move in different, and perhaps less conventional, directions. Through 2001, however, the art remained largely united under the founder.

In the wake of the 2001 death of Remy Preas, there has been a splintering of the remaining leadership of Modern Arnis. The IMAF, previously the organization of record for North American Modern Arnis practitioners, split into two subgroups, one headed by Randi Shea and one headed by Jeff Delaney; the remaining five Masters of Tapi-Tapi continue to be associated with the former group.

In many ways, the situation is analogous to what occurred in the Jeet Kune Do and American Kenpo communities following the deaths of their popular and charismatic founders.

In particular, the question of how high-ranking arnisadors should test for higher rank has been settled by different organizations in different ways. In some cases, this has caused controversy.

However, the fact remains that several groups are promoting what they see as ‘traditional’ Modern Arnis, while others are promoting variations of Modern Arnis, in keeping with its “modern” approach. The art is healthy and continues to attract students.
