The biggest and baddest Modern Arnis event in the country is happening this weekend!!!!!
This event will serve as a time of celebration of the life of the man who created Modern Arnis who left us 25 years ago.
We encourage any and all who knew the man known as Remy Presas to come to the event. To share stories and memories.
And we encourage any who did not know the man to attend so that they may learn about this icon of martial artist.
The line up consist of four true OG Students of Professor Presas
Professor Dan Anderson
GM Brian Zawilinski
GM Bruce Chiu
Master Roland Rivera
And it will also have one of Remys last loving PEERS there as well.
Grandmaster Bobby Taboada
We can’t stress enough, don’t miss this

Contact Michael Craig for registration and details and we will see you this week!

We are all saddened by the news of the passing of one of the true warriors of modern FMA.
GM Chiu has told the story of talking with GM Doug and hearing him say “I wanna go fight to prove Professors stuff worked!”
And Doug was one badass fighter by ALL accounts. And did it WELL in his later years proving he could still go!
Condolences to his family and to the Modern Arnis community.
RIP Doug Pierre

Today is a very special day
It is Grandmaster Chiu’s Birthday!!!!!
GM we all wouldn’t be here if not for you!
We can’t thank you enough for all you have done for FMA and the legacy of Remy Presas and Modern Arnis as a whole.
Happy birthday GM!!!

Do us a favor and share a story down below of a memory you have with GM!!!
He’d love to see em!

And that’s a wrap on 2026!
We had a blast seeing all our old friends and making all the new ones this year!
GM Chiu had never been to Blade before but now he can say he has and is already wanting to go back!

Everyone do us a favor and help wish one of our Senior Black Belts and Senior Instructors,
Master Mike Mathews a Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday sir!
Thanks for always fixing GM Chiu after he hurts himself 🤣🤣🤣

We know that today may be a celebration of three day weekend for some.
A time for family and fun and food for so many around the country.
But let us not forget how it is that we have those privileges.
How it is that we get to enjoy that three day weekend. How it is that we get to celebrate.
We get to do enjoy those privileges because of the few and brave who decided to take up arms and defend this country from all enemies foreign and domestic.
They fight and some fall for us.
Today as you celebrate, take a moment and reflect on that sacrifice. Parents out there, maybe teach your young ones about it. Explain the sacrifice, explain the privilege, explain what this day is all about.
We here at Arnis International want to do the same and remember those who never got to come home.
God bless our troops and God bless America.

Grandmaster Chiu wanted to wish every mom out there a happy and blessed Mothers Day!
We couldn’t be where all are without the loving support of our moms:)

We at Arnis International are deeply saddened by the loss of one of the greatest martial artists to ever do it but more so one of the kindest people to ever live.
Over the next few days you will hear many stories about the martial skill of the legendary Chuck Norris, maybe even just a lot of jokes about the man’s insane ability to push the ground down instead of doing a push up lol.
But more importantly, you will hear stories of the man’s character and kindness. And those are the lessons that transcend martial arts. Those are the skills and teachings we should be imparting and carrying on into our own students.
RIP to the man, the myth, and indeed the legend
Chuck Norris🙏🏻

Don’t miss the pre-registration price! Hope see you there!
