Book Description
"Beginning Arnis (Stick Fighting) Vol 1 was made as a simple guide to help students learn the Filipino martial art of Arnis (also called "Escrima" and "Kali"). In 1985 I opened my first school in Old Lyme, CT and in 1986 I went full time and opened my second school in New London, CT. I was a member of a martial arts Association and felt the knife techniques were "dangerous." So I decided to study Arnis. At the time Remi Presas was making the rounds and spreading FMA (Filipino Martial Arts). Somewhere around 1987 I took a clinic with Remi Presas. Shortly after this clinic Greg Alland walked into my school. At first I thought he came in to ask about lessons but it soon became apparent he was there to teach me. He said he practiced Arnis and I said "I just took a clinic with Remi Presas." He asked me to show him what I knew (Which I admitted was not much at all) and then Greg made the sticks hum! He moved the sticks like the propellor of a helicopter. He asked about my knife defenses and soon he was "buttering" me with the knife like a kid makes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It was ugly -BUT I found a teacher (Well - he found me!) I introduced Greg Alland to Kwan Jhang Nim Charles Ferraro and this began our long study of Arnis with Greg Alland. In 1999 I relocated my family from New London, CT. to Fayetteville, NC. My Pastor (Michael Pacella) joined the Army and was stationed at Ft Bragg and suggested I move to Fayetteville and "teach the Green Berets." In the Holy Bible we see when Sarah heard she was going to bear a child in her old age she laughed in her heart and when Pastor Pacella said I should teach the US Special Forces I laughed in my heart too! But, as if it were prophesy - sure enough and within 6 months I was teaching the US Special Forces. In June 2001 I receive my first contract from 2/3 SFG (A) and was "Officially Contracted" to teach the US Special Forces "FIGHT CUT Combatives" (Fully Integrated Grappling and Hitting Techniques - Close Up Techniques). To create FIGHT CUT I volunteered one year of working with 2/3 SFG (A) to develop and refine a Combatives Course which would teach the skills needed for Combatives in a simple, direct, and effective manner. FIGHT CUT was selected and contracted and was proudly being taught to the US Special Forces and the 82nd ABN DIV. From Tang Soo Do I drew kicks, strikes, and blocks. From Japanese Ju Jitsu I drew joint locks, sweeps, throws, chokes, and arm bars. From Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I drew ground fighting techniques and from Kali I drew stick and knife fighting techniques. This book was designed to introduce students to the beginning techniques of Arnis (Kali - Escrima). Students can train and level (Rank) in Arnis.

Book Description
The book features a twofold, interrelated focus. First, it looks at the unique Filipino culture; how it was greatly influenced by Spanish colonization, the oppression it suffered under foreign rule, and how the native yearning for freedom led to the development of the martial art of arnis. The book then presents the distinct technical aspects and resultant physical manifestation of the indigenous fighting art. Centering upon the Kombatan method forged by Grandmaster Ernesto Amador Presas Sr., it describes numerous maneuvers utilizing stick, blade, and empty hand components, and offers information on their myriad practical applications. This volume is unique in that it is one of but a few composed by a native-born and bred Filipino author, one who absorbed lesson in the Philippines, directly under the guidance of an established system’s founder. The book seeks to present arnis in a proper light, as a simple and pragmatic method of self-protection, while debunking the more fanciful theories and concepts that have crept in as it makes its way into world consciousness.
