Itong blade concept na laro 1990's pa nilalatag sa atin para matutunan pero ayaw tanggapin.
Noong 2006 na introduce sa mga dayohan itong rules nagustohan nila pero dito hindi katanggap tanggap.
Ngayon nag upgrade na ang mga dayuhan at sila na ang nagpapalaganap ng ganito klaseng rules.
Kaya ang mga Arnisador nasa sports Arnis ang concentration... kapag sarado na at ayaw tumanggap ng improvement wala tayong ma pala, hindi talaga aasenso ang Sports Arnis natin.
Kaya hayaan na natin itong rules dito ang dayohan na mag introduce sa mismong bansa natin.

Noong 1970s, ang martial art na kilala ngayon bilang Modern Arnis ay umuunlad pa rin sa USA, na nag-ugat sa tradisyunal na Filipino stick fighting. Nang maglaon, ginawang pormal at pinasikat ni Grandmaster Remy Presas ang sistema, na binibigyang-diin ang pagtatanggol sa sarili at sistematikong pagsasanay.
Sa paglipas ng panahon, ang ilang mga nakatatanda ay humiwalay sa orihinal na lahi, lumikha ng kanilang sariling mga sistema at pinangalanan ang mga ito sa mga master na kanilang natutunan o hinangaan. Bagama't ang mga bagong sistemang ito ay nakakuha ng mga tagasunod, nananatili ang mga tanong tungkol sa pagiging tunay at tamang linya, na binibigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng paggalang sa tunay na pinagmulan ng sining.
