Training with the Arnis Grandmasters

Arnis Grandmasters namely:

GM Benjamin Lema, GM Florentino Pecate,
GM Jose Mena, GM Antonio Ilustrisimo and GM Ciriaco Cañete

In 1977, there was a massive influx of NARAPHIL membership in all level of the society nationwide because of the establishment of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development which supported the "Siglakas Project". Included in this sports project was the introduction of arnis to all level of the society nationwide even in farflung areas, from Tuguegarao to Jolo and all cities, provinces and schools.

Arnis awareness became massive that prompted the NARAPHIL hierarchy to fast track their "Trainers Program" and adopt a better program upgrading their teaching capability through a series of training modules. The demand for quality instructors has expanded the Corps to 230 instructors that need further orientation, training and teaching expertise.

One of the training modules was the "Training with the NARAPHIL Grandmasters". Only five of the NARAPHIL grandmasters were able to render their services and it was an honor and rare opportunity for the Corps for their training. This was one of the initial projects of Dir. Romeo Mascardo (NARAPHIL Executive Director) and Mr. Fernando Vinculado who assumed the position of the NARAPHIL Chief Instructor Corps (1979-1985).

The project was to help the corps appreciate and give them insights on the different styles of this grandmasters and help them preserve their legacy and flourish.

Kabataang Barangay (KB) Arnis Training

"Training the youth with their Legacy"

In 1976, the youth organization (Kabataang Barangay) created by Presidential daughter - Imee Marcos, came into full swing with their series of training in Mount Makiling, Los Baños, Laguna.

NARAPHIL was tapped in to render their physical fitness training program using their arnis expertise for their 45 days In-house training. Forty-six of the senior instructors were called in to render their services in three separate groups with two weeks per rotation so as not to hamper their academic studies and work.

Arnis was later adopted by the "Kabataang Barangay" as the standard physical conditioning program. They later brought in to their respective communities and gave impetus to their tanod to do the same. From them, the Barangay Tanod followed the KB program and incorporated it to their training modules now as a means of self-defense and physical conditioning.

The series of event has led to the promotion of arnis awareness to their respective communities and the rest is history .........

The second part of their training was the "Leadership Training" under the auspices of the MYSD and NARAPHIL. Incorporated in that training was not only being a role model of a leader but in the management of clubs, planning and strategies.

Their physical conditioning did not only consists of training in arnis but with the other kind of martial arts - karate, judo, aikido, kung-fu and taekwondo. All instructors were then required to at least undergo two other martial arts to qualify for the Senior Instructor level and complete the five modules.

Training the Barangay Tanod

"The Barangay Tanod Brigade and NARAPHIL"

The inclusion of arnis training with the Barangay Tanod in 1977 and later adopting it as their means of self-defense and physical conditioning in their respective barangay has contributed a lot for the massive increase of membership to the organization. NARAPHIL was able to train the 25,000 strong Metro-Manila Barangay Tanod Brigade and they also contributed to the manpower resources for the NARAPHIL Corps of Instructors.

In 1979, the Metro-Manila Barangay Tanod Arnis Association was finally organized under the leadership of Maj. Leonardo Maddela (Ret.). Adjacent provinces and cities adopted the program of the MMBTAA and requested for more instructors to their respective barangay.
