There are empty hand forms, stick forms, Filipino Jujutsu, grappling, kicking, sinawali boxing, stick and dagger, knife, double stick, single stick, anti-stick grappling, as well as combinations of all the parts mentioned.

Modern Arnis was devised to be a   complete system, integrating the cultural connection of the Filipino arts and the ability to adapt and make your foudation art more functional for self-defense.  Modern Arnis has the functional value of traditional Filipino concepts Abaniko (fanning of the stick), Palis-Palis (passing of engery), Benda y Benda (horizontal slashing or striking), Rompida (diagonal slashing or stiking), Sungkite (thrusting), and other principles extracted form the stick work, offering a great deal of adaptable translation and flow based qualities. All these concepts are interactive depending if the intent is to strike, lock, throw, control, disarm, slash, stab, attack, or disengage.
