The Garimot Arnis System One of the most unique aspects of the Garimot system is the practice of Moro-Moro training. The Larong Moro-Moro is a socio-religious dance play, which dramatizes the triumph of the Christians over the Muslim Moors. In the late 1600's, under the rule of Spain, the practice of martial arts was banned in the Philippines. In order to preserve their culture and martial forms, the Arnisadores created the dances that demonstrated the movements used in combat. The Garimot system has preserved this rare art in its true form and incorporated it as a part of basic training. Although the Garimot system includes highly effective and diverse medium and short-range combat strategies, its use of "Largo Mano" (Long Hand) in the long-range arena stands alone. The study includes a meticulous analysis of angles, body positioning, and distancing. The result is a greater awareness of the defensive and offensive posture of both combatants. Its mastery is critical to success in stick and sword (or bolo) fighting. Learn more about the Garimot Arnis System Gat Puno Abon Baet
