About

I founded Clear Lake Modern Arnis in February 2003 as a training outlet for myself and to give myself the opportunity to inspire a new generation of Arnis practitioners or "Arnisadors".

Black belts of Modern Arnis are encouraged to train others in the art as a form of respect to their former teachers. I am very lucky to have had the opportunity to train with masters like Grandmaster Remy Presas, Soke Fred Givens, and my current teacher and good friend Grandmaster Dr. Randi Schea.

I learned important martial arts techniques from each of these men, but most importantly I learned how to teach the technique. In Modern Arnis, there is no such thing as a "secret technique". All techniques are taught according to the level of the student. Being able to teach a technique to students of multiple levels at the same time is an art in itself.

I consider Clear Lake Modern Arnis a success for the art as well as myself. Our class consists of Arnis beginners to Arnis black belts and black belts from other styles of martial arts. I continually enhance the class curriculum to make it more fun while at the same time show how complete and effective Modern Arnis is as a self-defense martial arts.

I would like to thank all of my students for their support of the class, because without them, I'd be working out by myself.
