The evolution of personal growth within myself as I recover from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Arnis Rising HFS is my evolution of personal knowledge and body wisdom over the last 33 years of Martial Arts exploration which started with Wado Ryu Karate at the age of 10.
When I began my journey into arnis, I was a broken 35 year old man.
I reached out and was invited to try my first training session by a quiet soft spoken man who has guided me in my foundation in arnis.
This man became my mentor and helped in my growth within the martial arts and as a person. After 7 years I was graded to instructor level Lakan Guro at MET-FMA HFS with my instructors blessing.
I owe my life to arnis and martial arts in general and it saved me from a path of self destruction at the height of my most damaging time while dealing with CPTSD.
I am a martial arts practitioner for life and currently share my tool kit at Hoju Martial Arts Center, 339 Wellington Street, Launcenston, Tasmania.
