I have enjoyed and completed reading the book "Filipino Martial Culture". In it, I noticed that a lot of the grandmasters of arnis developed their own styles and practiced their respective styles by themselves in their backyards.

I trained intensively in Manila for about 2 years in the arts of Arnis and escrima, but here in my town (central NJ) it's tough to find any affordable Arnis schools (notice i say AFFORDABLE). As much as I would just LOVE to train at the few schools here, a lot of the training studios here are really expensive and I don't have the money to train at these places. Is there any way I can train by myself or with partners outside the confines of an Arnis school? What would be a good training program for someone in my situation?
