Through the direction of Grandmaster Ken
Smith's M.A.T.S. program and the helpful
guidance of Guro Michael Sinnett, AKJ trains
with our primary weapon being single or double
26" sticks and the knife. These are elements of
Modern Arnis as passed down by the late
Professor Remy Presas and the IMAF.
Though many styles teach nunchucks, sai, bo
staff, kama and other 'traditional' Karate
weapons, we emphasize efficient weapons that you
will find in most common real-world
applications: stick (or anything that can be
used as a stick), asps, guns, knives, and even
bottles.
Always utilizing Kyusho Jitsu, short, quick
defensive attacks with weapons to the vital
pressure points will even more quickly diffuse
an attacker and allow you to safely escape.
