Welcome to CINCO ESTILOS URBAN ARNIS!!

 

THANK YOU for taking the time to visit the website.  It is my hope that this platform will provide you with all the information you need to give you a solid understanding of our group, and what we stand for.  What do we stand for anyway?  Well, it's pretty simple!!  "KULTURANG MANDIRIGMA," or the WARRIOR CULTURE, is what we promote.  The EMPOWERMENT that is cultivated through training in the Filipino-American martial arts, the AWARENESS OF THE Filipino culture that is embedded within the training, and the CULTIVATION of a warrior ethos that makes us honorable, virtuous and courageous people.  Plus--having a great time meeting and bonding with new friends through the training.  November 2024 marks our 8th anniversary of empowering people through the Filipino-American martial arts!!

 

We promote a training atmosphere of positivity and growth, tempered by discipline and dedication.  We train in impact and edged weaponry as well as the empty hand.  Training is geared towards personal protection in the urban environment where we all live, work, and play.  We respect tradition--uphold some of it, but are most definitely not bound by it. 

​

Please enjoy our website and feel free to contact me with any questions!  Maraming Salamat Po!
