Filipino Martial Arts - Arnis - New Zealand

Kombatan is a modern Filipino martial art (FMA) system founded by Grand master Ernesto Presas Sr. It evolved from his decades of experience in Arnis, Eskrima, and other Filipino fighting arts. After helping develop the Modern Arnis movement, Grandmaster Presas established Kombatan to preserve and continue his own approach to Filipino martial arts.

The name "Kombatan" comes from the Filipino word laban (fight) and the Spanish-derived word combate (combat), reflecting the system's emphasis on practical fighting skills.
