Modern Arnis

Okay kiddo, today we are going to talk about a type of fighting called Modern Arnis. Modern Arnis is a martial art that uses sticks to defend yourself.

Just like how you learn different letters of the alphabet, in Modern Arnis you learn different types of moves, like strikes, blocks, and disarms. These moves help you protect yourself if someone tries to hurt you.

When you're in a Modern Arnis class, you use sticks to practice these moves. You can also use other things like knives or empty hands, but you always start with sticks to help you learn the basics.

The sticks that are used in Modern Arnis are usually made of something light, like rattan, which is strong and flexible. This helps when you are practicing your moves, because the sticks don't hurt as much if you accidentally hit yourself.

And just like learning to read, in Modern Arnis you start with the basics and then work your way up. You learn simple moves to start, and then as you get better, you learn more and more complex moves.

So there you have it, kiddo. Modern Arnis is a type of fighting that uses sticks to help you protect yourself. You learn different moves and work your way up to more advanced techniques. Kind of like learning letters and then moving on to words and sentences.
