Presas, the founder of Modern Arnis.  In the 1970s, Grandmaster Ribay competed successfully on four continents in national and international tournaments, including the International Karate Championships in Long Beach, CA.  As a non-commissioned officer in the National Intelligence and Security Authority, he was a tactical combat instructor for the Philippine Airforce and the Philippine National Police Academy.   In the 1980s, Grandmaster Ribay was employed by the United States Sports Academy.  He was stationed in Saudi Arabia, where he taught martial arts to the Royal Saudi Airforce, and also served as a strength and conditioning coach.  Upon completion of his duties in Saudi Arabia, Grandmaster Ribay moved to the Fox Valley Area.  He was named Instructor of the Year in 2013.  You can see vintage photos of Grandmaster Ribay on our Facebook Page!
