Class, Seminar & Workshop Schedule
Our primary goal is to provide you with the best instruction possible while
learning in a safe and injury-free environment. Our students often comment
that we take away the mystery of learning martial arts. Most students are
surprised that the principles, concepts, and strategies that we advocate
are effective from the very first class. This saves them from years of
frustration, trying to decipher via trial and error what actually works in a
real confrontation and what could cost them their life. In addition, they love
that they can learn self-defense without getting hurt.
We are a school that does not withold information. Moreover, our
instructors can tailor the art to your individual needs so that you can be
effective regardless of whether you're in shape or out of shape,
experienced or just a begginner.
We do not teach sport-based martial arts. Instead, we focus on providing
the tools and skill-sets that are needed to survive and prevail against
unarmed and armed assaults on the streets.
All classes are taught in a fun and nurturing atmosphere where we
encourage you to ask questions and make mistakes. We feel that is the
best way to quickly gain a comprehensive and practical working
knowledge of the marital arts.
If you have any questions or concerns about how we train, how we teach, or
if there is anything that was not addressed through the web site, please
do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help.

Description: Arnis, Kali, and Escrima are weapons-based martial arts that originated in the islands of the Philipines. These combative martial arts are primarly comprised of Solo Baston (Single Stick), Doble Baston (Double Stick), Olising Maliit (Pocket Stick), Latigo y daga (Whip & Dagger), Espada y Daga (Sword & Dagger), flexible weapons such as Lubid (Rope), Latigo (Whip), Panyo (handkerchief/scarf) & Cadena (Chain); empty hand self defense (Suntukan, Kadena de Mano, Mano Mano & Pangamot), Dumog and Trankada (Filipino method of grappling, joint locking, throwing and take downs), Kicking (Sikaran) and evasive foot work (Serrada and Triangulo footwork). Students learn about these effective arts in a nurturing and safe atmosphere where they're encouraged to laugh, ask questions, and make mistakes. Safety is the most important priority of every class.
In most sessions students often practice sparring (Laban Laro) in a safe and controlled
manner both with and without body armor. At first new students begin learning the 5 basic
strikes (Cinco teros) and Largo Mano methods; training slowly until familiarity and
confidence has been acquired through repetition. At that point we encourage students to
train faster until eventually they become skilled with moving and sparring at full speed.
In addition, we also cover the history of the Filipino Martial Arts culture along with the
geography of the Philippines to better instill a working and comprehensive knowledge of
this powerful system of fighting. As with all classes nutrition and anatomy are covered to
help facilitate weight loss and increase strength, flexibility, and the overall health of your
body and mind.
This is an effective art for self-defense for practically everyone. If you work in law enforcement or security and you want to learn different ways to use your baton on the job for capturing, controlling, applying joint locks, or disarming assailants who are wielding weapons such as a knife or a baseball bat, then this class will be invaluable for your well-being and for your suspects' safety. We even cover how to use your baton to defensively ward off attacks from aggressive dogs and animals.
