Rapid Arnis

A system developed by Pat O’Malley, with a goal of delivering authentic Filipino Martial Arts in the U.K.

In common with many other Filipino martial arts, Rapid Arnis covers several areas of combat, namely: solo baston (single stick), doble baston (double stick), espada y daga (sword and knife), baraw (knife), mano mano (empty hands), largo baston (5' long stick) and Dumog (grappling).

Rapid Arnis has been and continues to be influenced by a number of Martial Art Systems within the Philippines and outside. This is why the system keeps on improving and growing.

Instructors are encouraged to cross train to bring a unique teaching style to the class.

An overview of what Rapid Arnis is about.

Jujitsu

JuJitsu is the ancient art of self-defence that was developed in Japan centuries ago.

Jujitsu is a Martial Art that includes, striking, throwing and grappling. As a self defence system, it covers a lot of bases. However, when it comes down to it, you have to defend yourself. With this in mind we aim to help you devolve a skill set to enable you to do this.

Kids Jujitsu

Children learn in a safe, nurturing, fun environment, where everyone can progress at their own pace. Under our qualified coaches we guide children to overcome fears, gain confidence, and learn new skills and children have a lot of fun doing it!

We believe in encouraging children to do their best without necessary being the best.  It is important to encourage and reassure to eliminate the fear of failure. After all, if we never fail at anything how do we get better?

Classes will vary depending on the goal of the class, age group and skill set.  Although our classes are disciplined we do believe children learn a lot through play.  Through playing warm up + cool down games /drills specific to the class we improve fundamental movement patterns that are important in other sports and everyday life such as agility, balance, co –ordination, running, jumping , throwing. Passing, catching etc...

Some of the benefits of training with us are:

  • Improved fundamental movement pattern

  • Improved fitness levels

  • Improved strength

  • Improved concentration levels (listening, attention span and ability to follow out instructions)

  • Improved confidence

  • Improved self esteem

  • Improved moods.

  • Improved self-defence skills

We could go on, as you can see there’s nothing bad comes of engaging in some form of physical activity.  We believe by doing so children set their foundations to go on and succeed in the future.
