List of GrandMasters and Masters of Arnis




This is a list that I have made on the different practitioners of Arnis, Escrima and Kali, both past and present, whether living or deceased. I also included the name of their respective styles and schools of martial art that they have founded. This is not a popularity list. I put their names as I see fit.
