Guerrero Arnis de Mano

Guerrero Arnis de Mano teaches authentic Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) out of SAFRA Punggol, bringing the indigenous combat traditions of the Philippines to Singapore's north-east. Arnis, the national martial art and sport of the Philippines, is built around weaponry, empty-hand striking and grappling, and the school stays true to that complete, traditional curriculum.

Training covers five connected aspects: panandata (weaponry), panuntukan (empty hands), pagbuno (grappling and locking), panandyakan (kicking) and paghahanda (training and conditioning). That breadth means students develop both practical self-defence skill and genuine physical conditioning, framed by the school's founder as both effective self-defence and a real workout.

Led by Guro Robert Guerrero, sessions run in graded levels so beginners can start at the fundamentals and progress as their skills build. A reviewer praised the instructor as friendly and approachable, reflecting the welcoming, hands-on atmosphere. For anyone in the Punggol area curious about a distinctive, well-rounded martial art, this is an accessible place to begin learning authentic FMA.
