Askal Hybrid Arnis

Askal Hybrid Arnis is a Martial Arts System coined from three words: Askal, Hybrid, and Arnis. The term Askal, which means “Street Dog” from our local dialect, is placed as the first word for the group name because the system has been based on the founder’s life where he humbly started from a poor family and has lived a life where street fights and bar fights are common. The term Hybrid follows be

cause the founder has integrated this martial art system with all the martial art systems he had learned in his lifetime. The integration of several martial art systems leads to a series of technical modifications which provides street fight efficacy. The founder believes that the techniques that should be learned are street fight effective. The last term, Arnis, is placed as the last word for the name because Arnis was the skeleton of the new system developed by the founder. Askal Hybrid Arnis started when the founder accidentally injured himself during practice. In his continuous practice for perfection, he notices the lapses of certain techniques which render useless during an actual street fight. With his conviction to continually develop Arnis, he had to modify certain techniques and had to remove certain techniques which eventually lead to the birth of the Askal Hybrid Arnis System.
