  14. bring back memories of my college PE..Arnis is one module to pass and there was like a final exam where we have to show our Arnis skills. It was mad and scary but since I really wanted to get good grades I poured out all valiant blood in me and fought my opponent with superior skills. Oh I could not forget that and it taught lessons too. Learning arnis is learning how to have greater control of your reflexes. The art is discipline itself.

  15. I just learned doing the tricks when I was in 5th grade. We were taught of arnis as a self defense and as a part of our PE. I am glad this kind of art is still being practiced by the young students. :)
