Dynamic Blend of Filipino Weaponry, Flow, and Practical Grappling

Arnis Jitsu is a powerful hybrid martial art that combines the fluid weapon techniques of Filipino Arnis with the practical takedowns, controls, and submissions of Jiu‑Jitsu. This unique system gives students a complete skill set—striking, grappling, weapon defense, and real‑world application—all in one dynamic program.

At Total Self Defense, Arnis Jitsu is taught as a flow‑based, adaptable, and highly practical martial art. Students learn how to transition seamlessly between ranges: from long‑range stick and blade concepts, to mid‑range striking, to close‑range grappling and control. This makes Arnis Jitsu incredibly effective for real‑world self‑defense, where situations change quickly and unpredictably.
