A.R.M Tactical Combatives Training Module Program (Accelerated Response Movement), is a formulated tactical system founded primarily on the fundamentals of Pulahan-Derobio Eskrima and Special Warfare Tactical Combat; as developed by Master Chaz Siangco and retired U.S Navy SEAL Roger Gehring. This collective of threat response and action effectively teaches and provides military, law enforcement, and security forces with a distinct and combat tested tactical combative foundation. A.R.M is a structured modular phase training program that can readily be provided to groups within any time frame and will give answers to any scenario (i.e. CQB-Clearing and Breaching, Knife attacks, etc.)
A.R.M is an excellent gateway for individuals with limited or no weapons experience to develop a sound foundation in weapons combat. This by no means is a mastership of a martial art but rather a skill builder of tested tactics for individuals seeking specific tools needed to combat the threats of modern day warfare whether it be on the battlefield or your neighborhood streets. Nevertheless, it is also a great complement for seasoned warriors looking to broaden their skillsets. A.R.M can also be modified for the self-defense and self-awareness needs of the everyday citizen.
The underlining philosophy behind our A.R.M curriculum is to nurture leaders through incentive based promotion and enhance the skills and natural movement of an individual...to empower the individual...and "A.R.M" the combatant, martial artist, or everyday citizen with tested tools and concepts.
A.R.M provides the student the foundation to seemlessly mature into the traditional artform of Pulahan-Derobio Eskrima for those looking to master the skillsets found in the program.
