The Passing of Master Roland Dantes


Today the world mourns the passing one of FMA's famous master of arnis de mano; GM Roland Dantes, founder of his own system called "Free Style Modern Arnis." At exactly 1:00 am, he was rushed to the Phil. Heart Center when he had a heart attack. A few hours later he was pronounced dead. GM Roland Dantes was a student of the late GM Ben Lema for just a short time. But he was first and foremost a student of the late GM Remy Presas; founder of Modern Arnis. GM Roland was also one of the few who knew, by heart, the curriculum of the Classical Modern Arnis.
