In the world of Filipino martial arts, there lies a rich tapestry of culture, history, and lineage that dates back generations. At New Dragons Rising, we are dedicated to unlocking the secrets of the masters who have paved the way for the art forms of Escrima, Arnis, and Kali to thrive and evolve.

One such master that we hold in high regard is a prominent figure in the realm of Filipino martial arts, with a diverse background that includes expertise in Tae Kwon Do and Kenpo Karate. This master's legacy is deeply rooted in our site's lineage, and their teachings continue to shape and influence our practice. The art forms of Escrima, Arnis, and Kali are not just about self-defense and sport; they encompass a way of life that values discipline, respect, and continuous learning. By studying under the guidance of esteemed masters, practitioners can unlock the secrets of these ancient arts and deepen their understanding of the techniques and philosophies that define them. As we strive to promote a greater understanding of Filipino martial arts and their global impact, our site will soon be supporting The American Filipino Martial Arts Association. We also have plans to offer merchandise, online classes, and a community forum where like-minded individuals can come together to share their knowledge and passion for these art forms. At New Dragons Rising, we believe that the key to mastering Filipino martial arts lies in honoring the traditions of the past while embracing innovation and growth. By delving into the teachings of the masters who have come before us, we can unlock the secrets that will guide us on our own journey towards expertise and enlightenment in Escrima, Arnis, and Kali.
