FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS ALERT: MODERN ARNIS GURO REVEALS LISTS OF WHO’S WHO IN ESKRIMA AND KALI WORLDWIDE

Have you ever wondered who and where are the top Filipino Martial Arts masters and instructors in the world? Do you know who were the ancient warriors, street fighters and tournament champions responsible for creating these various deadly weapons arts passed on down from generation to generation? What styles are the most popular and widely practiced all over the world today?

Jay de Leon, a Modern Arnis master, free-lance writer and Filipino Martial Arts historian, has just launched a new website to answer these questions. Titled “The Filipino Martial Arts Museum,” the website is a virtual or cybermuseum that attempts to answer these questions. Just like a real museum, it has a gallery of photos and artifacts that one can browse. It also has relevant articles written by both expert authors and volunteer writers on all aspects of the art, as well as a library of martial arts books, such as “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu. .

Roger Agbulos, listed as one of the top guros in the world, commented, “The sheer amount of information and the breadth of the topics covered are amazing.” In addition, an online store will stock unique martial arts T-shirts, weapons, videos and tapes, books and memorabilia.

As Curator of the cybermuseum, Jay de Leon invites the readers to contribute submissions for articles, and virtual artifacts to the museum as well. “I want this website to be a living museum, and the most visited reader-written site in Filipino Martial Arts,” states Jay de Leon.

Go now to Jay de Leon’s museum and browse, contribute or leisurely read a few articles. If you are practitioner, go back to the shrouded mist of time and meet the warriors of feral tribes, fighters of death matches and masters of the blade of long-ago Philippines. If you are a novice, come and meet the living legends, venerable grandmasters, and hardcore guros (teachers) of the art. Discover the amazing art of Filipino martial arts at this unique cybermuseum at http://www.filipinomartialartsmuseum.com/ .
