Rene Tongson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rene Tongson is a member of the Modern Arnis Senior Masters Council and one of a handful of Modern Arnis practitioners worldwide to be promoted to Lakan Walo (8th degree black belt) by the late Grandmaster Remy A. Presas. Grandmaster Tongson remains true to his late teacher's memory and promotes Modern Arnis as the head of the International Modern Arnis Federation, Philippines (IMAFP)

GM Rene founded his own system, Tres Puntas, as inheritor of Grandmaster Mateo D. Estolloso’s Abaniko Tres Puntas Estilo. As a traditionalist, GM Rene is known for his fluidity and grace in classical arnis. His students include Master Bambit Dulay, datu Dieter Knuttel, dayang Edessa Ramos and many other arnis guros in the Philippines and other parts of the world.
