Dowd. (775) 423-3253 [email protected] Publishers Desk Kumusta There are schools that teach the Filipino martial arts throughout the world. These are schools from the FMAdigest schools database. Last year the FMAdigest put out a Special Issue on all the schools listed in the schools database, and found a lot of misinformation. Why was this? Mostly because schools did not keep information on their schools current; well what can the FMAdigest say only that if not told then it does not know. And if the school information is out of date or no longer open, what can this indicate? The owner or representative is not in- terested in up-to-date advertisement? Lazy, irresponsible, or does it just show a lack of professionalism and pride? The FMAdigest when receiving school information ensures that the school has some sort of Filipino martial arts program in its teachings. If not then it does not go into the schools database. The FMAdigest is for Filipino martial arts only. Yes it is a fact that schools teach Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, etc in their school however as long as there, is some Filipino martial arts being taught then the schools information will be entered into the database. Take a look to see if your school is listed or if there is a school near you. If not listed then most likely no one has submitted it. So as they say let your fingers do the walking and find a school near you. Even when visiting outside of your country visit some of the schools listed if in the area. Build your skill, your abilities, and your knowledge. Please visit the FMAdigest schools database, if the school does not have a website you most likely will find an Email address you can use to contact the school. Maraming Salamat Po Africa - C. R. M.

  • Aboutdog Brothersmartial Arts
    About Dog Brothers Martial Arts Dog Brothers Martial Arts (DBMA) is a system of many styles where the ultimate goal is to “walk as a warrior for all your days™.” As such we have an ap- proach that is in search of the totality of both ritual combat (sport fighting such as Mixed Martial Arts/Vale Tudo, Muay Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and others) and reality (practical street defense, weapon awareness, and uneven odds). This means that the greater mission is to have real skills throughout the entirety of one’s life—not just when one is young and competitive. Considerable thought and experience has gone into the development of this cur- riculum, and as is the case with all things taught in the DBMA curriculum: “If you see it taught, you see it fought.™” The curriculum is divided into 3 areas: Real Contact Stick Fighting, Kali Tudo™ and Die Less Often. A brief overview of these areas of study is found on the next page. What You’ll Learn Consistency Across Categories Fun, Fit, and Functional Hurting, Healing, and Harmonizing The Filipino Martial Arts are unique in that they As previously stated, we look to share the long In addition to combative tools, tactics, and focus on weapons first, and allow the learning that term training goal: “walk as a warrior for all techniques, DBMA also incorporates a healing takes place there to inform a practitioner’s empty your days™” with you.

  • Kamusta, the Past Year at Berdugo Martial Arts Has Been Fun Filled And
    Kamusta, The past year at Berdugo Martial Arts has been fun filled and fast paced. We have had promotions, new students, seminars, demonstrations, tournaments and clinics.

First and foremost we would like to recognize the promotion of Junior Grandmaster Michael Bowers to full Grandmaster. Grandmaster Bowers has dedicated 19 years to the learning and teaching of Kombatan Presas Style with no substitution or modification to Great Grandmaster Presas’ vision.
