Typhoon Onday Relief

As many of you may already know, the Philippine islands have been hit by Typhoon Ondoy. The effects of this typhoon were so severe that over a quarter of a million people have been displaced from their homes. In an attempt to help these people in their time of need The World Modern Arnis Alliance along with the Buffalo Martial Arts and Fitness Expo and the Can-Am Filipino Martial Arts Summit are setting up a station for those who wish to donate to help the people in their time of need. We will be accepting cash, money orders and PayPal donations at the Expo. This money will then be sent to the Filipino Red Cross. For those who are planning sizeable donations, we recommend sending the funds directly to the Filipino Red Cross. If you need help making your donation through PayPal, please send to admin@wmarnis.com. We will forward all donations received to the Filipino Red Cross.

The World Modern Arnis Alliance was established for a two-fold purpose.

Our first goal is to further the growth of Arnis throughout the world. Secondly, in keeping with the example set by Remy Presas, our intent is to set the highest technical standards possible for the global Arnis community.

We will achieve this by designing specific training programs that will advance the progression of our art while developing maximum student proficiency.

For those who do not have immediate access to an instructor and who are training on their own, rank promotion is still possible. Students will have access to a directory of black belts, schools, and instructors in the Modern Arnis community. These people will be available to periodically assist students with their training in preparation for their advancement. Geographical constraints will not be a deterrent to the growth of Modern Arnis.

In addition we have created a "Student Registry" so that each member will have a record of their rank as they progress through each level. This will prevent any discrepancy as to what belt level a student or instructor has earned. Their credentials will be available for verification.
