Remy Presas - IMAF

IMAF

Presas formed the International Modern Arnis Federation (IMAF) in 1970 as the principal organization for the promotion and administration of Modern Arnis in North America. The organization was responsible for maintaining records of promotions and other administrative tasks. After his 2001 death it has bifurcated into two groups, one headed by Jeff Delaney and often referred to as IMAF-Delaney, and the other headed by Randi Schea, often referred to as IMAF-Schea. The latter group is the larger of the two.

There are other notable Modern Arnis organizations, including International Modern Arnis Federation Philippines (IMAFP), based in the Philippines and led by the most senior Filipino masters of Modern Arnis; a group headed by the founder's children (MARPPIO); a group headed by Tim Hartman (WMAA); a German group headed by Dieter Knuettel (DAV); and others.
