LONDON ARNIS

Andrew Janson started training in the Rapid Arnis system in 2004, and with the support of friend and student Fari Peyman, and Louis Beale - Senior Instructor in Rapid Arnis, and dedicated co-instructor - founded London Arnis in 2010.

Classes focus on building fundamental attributes, technical proficiency, and coaching skills. In addition, the instructor team promotes a friendly and informal atmosphere that encourages students to practice the material independently, and often hosts guest instructors from other schools to explore new concepts and methods.
