Sistemang Pang-Oran
From Karate, Kungfu, Wrestling, Mixed Fighting Information Source
Sistemang Pang-oran is a full-contact stick-fighting (Arnis Kickboxing System – ARKIBOS or Arnis Nicolas Style - ARNIS) system practiced by students of Modern Arnis Mano-Mano Filipino Martial Arts. It was founded by Punong Lakan Garitony C. Nicolas, father of Modern Sinawali. The word pang-oran comes from the northern part of the Philippines, which means "stick fighting" in English.

Techniques
The Sistemang Pang-Oran involves the striking of Arnis, disarming, punching and kicking techniques (for amateur rules) and sweeping and throwing (for professional rules). Pang-Oran was developed for the love of the Filipino martial art Arnis. It came from the heart of a real disciple of Arnis. Punong Lakan stresses that without his students and observing different tournaments like full-contact kickboxing, Karate, Arnis, and Taekwondo, etc. he would not be able to further develop the Pang-Oran system.
Looking at the physical aspect of the Pang-oran, the fighting techniques are clear but the founder urges that students should not see Pangoran as a physical aspect only but the student understands Punong Lakan’s philosophy for life is. Concentrating on a tournament alone is not enough because the student must also use his inner ability along with his heart or all will be futile. The student must always bear in mind his purpose for practicing the art.
