Modern Arnis Classes
Modern Arnis incorporates the use of single-stick, double-stick, knife, and empty-hand techniques. The Art of Modern Arnis was created from elements of both Filipino and non-Filipino fighting styles. Modern Arnis can be learned as its own style or can be easily incorporated into other martial arts styles.
Training in Modern Arnis makes many martial artists discover new things about their own style and blends well with the best movements of those styles. Many people have called Modern Arnis "the art within your art."The Modern Arnis curriculum at Cromwell Martial Arts first focuses on the fundamentals and will take you on a step-by-step progression in developing the key ingredients that are necessary to become proficient in Art.

Kenpo Karate Classes
The roots of Kenpo karate can be traced back and may have been practiced in India and China as far back as 5000 years ago. Exercises were developed by mimicking the movements of specific animals. These exercises were developed into forms (pre-arranged movements) that could be practiced to maintain good health and used as self-defense for protection. In China, the Shaolin Kempo was developed by people who had few weapons other than their own bodies and some simple farming tools.
