I am Filipino actually but was the only Filipino at the dojo where I took lessons! The teacher is American, also teaching taekwondo, and all the other students were German.

I am not a brother though but a sister... It was a women's defence school I was at. I think I have seen the modern arnis you are talking about on youtube, it looks really hardcore. I am interested to know a bit more anyway though. I will PM you, thanks.
