Arnold is a great instructor. He showed me a whole new perspective on martial arts, especially in weapons training and in making my Jun Fan Gung Fu more dynamic. He is a wealth of knowledge and has the gift of teaching. He has a lot of charisma and has the ability to draw in just about any martial artist when he teaches a class. I believe that persons wanting to learn combatives at any level can take something home from one of his classes, regardless of experience. Arnold truly has the technique and form to back up his knowledge as well. As a longtime martial artist myself, I am only more impressed every day with his ability to conceptualize the Filipino and Chinese martial arts to put them together in a way that makes wanting to learn from him irresistible.

Why do I like training under Guro Arnold Filomeno? Guro Arnold breaks down each drill so that it works for every student training under him. The atmosphere of his classes is fun but also mind boggling as well which I like because it really make you think and work that much harder. As soon as anyone feels they might be getting bored with a drill that we have trained many times over before Guro Arnold will show us a new combination or way of doing the same drill but in a total different light. When I started training in Kali under Guro Arnold I did not know what to expect. Now after over 3 1/2 years of training there are times that I don't know what to expect to learn during each and every class and that is one aspect that has kept me coming to each class.
