What are Filipino Martial Arts?
Filipino Martial Arts known as Arnis or Escrima in the Phillipines and Kali or FMA in the United States is a sweet science similar to Western Boxing. Boxing and FMA are compatible in footwork, defense, striking and counter philosophy. As training systems, both offer similar one-on-one mitt training and various cardio-intensive drills which are essential to building a fighter’s accuracy and rhythm. The rounds of sparring are a blast and will get you in great shape.
