Armas De Mano Filipino Arts Academy: A blended system of Filipino weapon-based arts as developed by the pioneers of the arts: The late Grandmaster Angel Cabales, Grandmaster Remy Presas, and Guro Dan Inosanto, and other blends of kali systems.
MISSION
The Armas De Mano Filipino Arts Academy is dedicated to provide services in the instruction of Filipino Martial Arts using traditional and non-traditional approaches to the learning process. Developed centuries ago, the teachers of today have learned from the great pioneers, and expanded their knowledge through creativity and adjustment to fit today's socio-economic culture. Much like the pioneers of the past. the Armas De Mano Academy looks to the pioneers of today for guidance and instruction in the preservation of these systems. The student is provided the opportunity to study from those pioneers who are still with us today, as well as instructors of today who challenge themselves to be "out of the box" thinkers.
"As the founder of the Academy, my vision is to provide a solid foundation of the basics in the various styles/systems of Filipino Arts and provide a setting in which the student can advance their skills by blending concepts and principles employed from the teachings of myself and other affiliated schools and instructors."
"I am where I am at because of my hard work and dedication to explore other systems. But most importantly, I continue to expand my knowledge because each of my teacher's continue to share their knowledge."
"I am simply forever grateful!"
