Taking the courses at Bayani Martial Arts Academy is not just drills and fitness.My time there has forced me to examine how I excute the movements and what I can do to correct my responses wether it’s a drill set or life in general (Life is the real battle field).

I’ve dabbled in multiple disciplines (Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling), Bayani Warrior program gives you a skill set that applies directly to real life. When you are looking to protect more than yourself from all the craziness of this world look no further then Bayani Warrior.

During a lesson, Mike told us that the way we act when we fight is the way we act in life. At first, I brushed it off as something I once heard from a corny action movie. However, when we started to fight, I saw things in the way I moved, the ideas I thought, and the emotions I felt which reflected exactly how I dealt with the world everyday. Some of my actions were flawed. I quickly realized that if I could fix those flaws, fighting and living could be so much smoother and enjoyable. Studying the FMA’s has given me a way to improve myself not only as a Filipino, but as a human being.

The first moment I held the sticks I felt something burning inside me–an untapped desire that always happened to be there. Regardless of my timid character, Kali-Arnis helped me build a confidence in myself. If there is anything that keeps bringing me back to Arnis it is the feeling of the spirit of the art, the warmth of its instructor, and the sense of family with the people I have met thus far. I love it more than you can ever know.

I came to Kali-Arnis just to take a look around and was fascinated with it. I’ve stuck with the training since then. Guro Mike is a great, level-headed, and attentive instructor who values my and his own time. Kali-Arnis is a good workout, and it is also a lot more effective compared to wrestling. The people that come to class are also very friendly and solicitous towards each other. My favorite part of the martial art are the disarm techniques and practicality of fighting techniques.

Guro Mike also taught me how to defend my self from someone attacking with a knife. I join Kali-Arnis class because I liked the art of fighting with weapons, but I have learned more than just fighting with weapons
