In our classes we teach a progression of defense.
Here at Fluid Force Modern arnis of Michigan, we provide quality training in Modern Arnis & modern self-defense. Our classes are taught in a fun & relaxed atmosphere. We teach at each students individual level, so they may learn & progress at their own rate.
First you will learn how to be aware of your surroundings & avoid dangerous situations. If that fails, we will show you how to dissolve the situation with the least amount of force, with maximum results.
At Fluid Force Modern Arnis of Michigan, we teach Modern Arnis as created by Grandmaster Remy Amador Presas.
From the time that Professor Presas was a boy training with his grandfather in the Philippines,
he combined his knowledge of open hand, stick, knife & grappling techniques into a brilliantly blended & relaxed Filipino martial art.
He described it as "the flow" & focused his teaching so that anyone could learn the ability to flow from striking,
to locks, to throws, & then grappling.
In our classes we teach the application of Double & single stick work, Knife & open-hand self-defense.
More importantly we teach you how to defend yourself against a weapon yielding attacker,
from stick, bat or any blunt object to knife or empty hand attackers. We will teach you proper distancing, footwork, angles & entry into control & subduing your attacker. You will learn Fight or flight responses
& how to control attacks of aggression with the proper response.
We also offer classes in Tang Soo Do. Tang soo do is a traditional Korean martial art,
that incorporates striking, blocking & kicking into a disciplined, structured & effective art of self-defense.
We are guided in the art of Tang Soo Do by Master Bill Barker of Progressivetactics Martial Arts
Aswell as learning modern arnis & Tang soo do, we also teach & integrate aspects of other effective martial arts.
