What is Filipino Martial Arts?
Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) is an all-encompassing martial art that uses striking and grappling techniques but is primarily a weapons base martial art. Filipino Martial Arts teaches one how to effectively use blunt and bladed weapons.

Filipino Martial Arts is both mentally and physically challenging and develops speed and fast reaction time.
