The most common forms of Filipino Martial Arts are known as Arnis, Kali, and Escrima. It is a complete combat system utilizing rattan sticks, machete swords & knives. It is labeled by many as one of the most practical forms of martial arts there is!

Philippine Combatives™ is a combination of these different styles presented in an easy-to-follow curriculum popularized around the world by Guro Julius Melegrito himself. Although the use of “practical” weapons is a big part of this program, he also spends a tremendous amount of time on hand-to-hand translations of the techniques. 

Krav Maga self-defense applications and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ground fighting strategies added in this modernized blended curriculum with Filipino martial arts concepts make this a very effective & practical form of self-defense. This program is slow-faced and uses most of the upper body extremities perfect for older adults!

Bruce Lee’s style of fighting was highly influenced by Filipino Martial Arts as witnessed in his last movie, Enter the Dragon!
