At Water Mountain Virtual, Pro Arnis represents more than just stick fighting. It’s a modern, professional-level approach to Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) — one that delivers real-world capability, whether you’re training for self-defense, coaching, or just looking to elevate your personal discipline.
Unlike many traditional martial arts programs, our online Pro Arnis training doesn’t require belts or ranks. Instead, it’s structured around skill sets that solve real problems and build functional ability from day one.
Pro Arnis is a results-driven training system rooted in Filipino Martial Arts, especially Arnis, Kali, and Escrima. It was developed by Water Mountain to prepare students for practical, professional-level use of martial skills — whether in security roles, coaching settings, or real-world self-defense.
At its core, Pro Arnis trains for:
Protection – Against common and complex threats
Coaching – Sharing skills clearly and effectively
Application – Translating drills into real-world use
We’ve learned that most online martial artists don’t need another rank system — they need clear, adaptable tools. That’s why our virtual courses focus on specific problems and scenarios, such as:
How to intercept and control an incoming strike
How to flow between ranges (stick, blade, empty hand)
How to coach beginners with minimal equipment
How to develop precision and power without a training partner
These are standalone, high-value modules, not just filmed classes.
Each online course is built around a single problem domain or skill focus, like:
Quick Close and Control – for rapid-range transitions
Counter to the Counter – advanced flow drills
Footwork Fundamentals – for mobility and angle control
Stick to Empty Hand Transfers – application without weapons
The goal is to make you independent, adaptable, and teachable — even if you’re training solo at home.
Both.
Pro Arnis honors the Filipino martial legacy — the rhythm, the range play, the realness — but filters it through a modern lens. That means:
Training that works in jeans, not uniforms
A focus on common attacks and actual movement patterns
Respect for tradition without being trapped by it
If you’re a purist, you’ll recognize the roots. If you’re new, you won’t get lost in rituals before you get results.
This program is ideal for:
Martial artists expanding their weapon skills
Instructors looking to add FMA to their programs
Security personnel seeking practical control tools
Home-based learners wanting serious skill without fluff
You can train at your own pace, apply immediately, and build toward mastery with real-world use cases in mind.
Our in-person and Zoom programs (see H2OMT.com) follow a full curriculum-based path, ideal for long-term development and certification. The online Pro Arnis program here on Water Mountain Virtual:
Focuses on problem-based modules
Does not require rank testing
Is designed to plug into your life, not disrupt it

Pro Arnis isn’t just a brand — it’s a promise: that Filipino Martial Arts can be practical, efficient, and empowering in any context. With our virtual format, we’re bringing that promise directly to you.
Train at your pace. Solve real problems. Become the practitioner you were meant to be.
No. Pro Arnis online courses are designed to build skills from the ground up. Whether you’re new to martial arts or cross-training, you’ll find clear, practical instruction.
Not in the online format. The focus is on problem-solving and applied skill development, not belts or formal ranks.
You’ll need a pair of rattan sticks (baston), comfortable training space, and ideally a mirror or video tool for self-review. Protective gear is optional for solo practice.
Online training builds strong coaching foundations, but formal instructor certification is handled through live and Zoom evaluation available at H2OMT.com.
