Guidelines for Membership

For a club to be eligible for membership, it should have a minimum of 10 members.

The registered name of the club must be approved by Arnis Philippines.

The registered name should not contain words such as PHILIPPINE, NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL, WORLD, GLOBAL, OLYMPIC, and the like.

The registered name should be unique from all other clubs already registered under ARPI. (Affixing a digit or roman numeral at the end of the registered name to distinguish two different clubs, as in the case of different chapters of a single organization, is permitted.)

All clubs are disallowed to use the names and seals of the Philippine Olympic Comittee, Arnis Philippines, or the International Arnis Federation without proper authorization.

The club head (i.e. founder, president, adviser or chief instructor) must prepare and submit the following documents:
i. Request for Accreditation
ii. Club Membership Application Form
iii. Individual Membership Application Form
All members of the club must fill-up the ‘Individual Membership Application Form’ completely and legibly. ARPI reserves the right to withhold approval of any application deemed prior to joining ARPI.

Each club member must attach two (2) 1x1 recent ID pictures to their application form. These will be used for the ID Cards and files of each member.

The club is requested to pay the corresponding fees. (Fees are refundable should the application be disapproved).
i. Club Annual Membership Fee - PHP 500.00
ii. Individual Annual Membership Fee - PHP 100.00 per person
iii. Courier Fee (for clubs located outside Metro Manila; non-refundable)
