Grandmaster Pepito Robas of Otsotiros Baston Arnis System and Modern Arnis
Modern Arnis uses a ranking system similar to the Dan ranks used in Karate and other Japanese systems. There are some minor variations between organizations as to the exact number of belts. There are 10 or 11 black belt ranks in Modern Arnis, depending on the organization. They are numbered in Tagalog:
Isa (pronounced as i-sah; which literally means "one")
Dalawa (pronounced dah-la-wah; literally "two")
Tatlo (pronounced as tat-loh; literally "three")
Apat (pronounced as Ah-pat; literally "four")
Lima (pronounced as li-mah;literally "five")
Anim (pronounced as ah-neem; literally "six")
Pito (pronounced as pi-toh; literally "seven")
Walo (pronounced as "wah-loh"; literally "eight")
Siyam (pronounced as si-yam or shahm; literally "nine")
Sampu (pronounced as sam-pu; literally "ten")
Many groups use a "zero-degree" black belt rank as a probationary stage that comes before Isa. The actual name of the ranks is gender-specific. For men the rank is referred to as Lakan (Tagalog for nobleman) while for women it is referred to as Dayang (Tagalog for lady). Thus, a first degree black belt in Modern Arnis would be referred to as either a Lakan Isa or a Dayang Isa, depending on his or her gender. The "zero-degree" rank, if used, is referred to as simply Lakan or Dayang. The black belt is traditionally bordered with red; however, some groups use a plain black belt.[10]
In addition to rank, titles such as Datu, Commissioner, Master of Tapi-Tapi, Senior Master, Punong Guro, etc., have occasionally been granted to certain high-ranking individuals. The title Guro is typically given to all Lakans and Dayangs
