  • 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.
