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 .........
