Garimot Arnis
Garimot Arnis (or Garimot Arnis de Mano) is a Filipino martial art developed by Gat Puno (Chieftain) Abon "Garimot" Baet. He is the 5th generation inheritor of his family art. Garimot Arnis is a system composed of three basic parts: arnis de mano (weapons), buno (wrestling), and hilot (healing). The defining characteristic of the system is in keeping yourself safe. This is done by meticulously studying the footwork, angles, and distancing of "largo mano" (long hand) to keep yourself out of your opponent's range while keeping him in your range. In "corto" (close) range, the opponent's  ability to attack must be shut down as quickly as possible, through a disarm, lock, or manipulation of the opponent's body, which sets up the finish. Above all, knowledge of "hilot" allows you to keep yourself healthy by helping to fight illness and injuries, especially injuries caused during "arnis" and "buno" training. "Garimot" (from Paeteno slang ""garaymot"," meaning "absorber") was the fighting nickname of Gat Puno's father Felipe.
