⚔️ What Is Filipino Martial Arts (FMA)?

Filipino martial arts emphasize weapon-based training, including sticks, knives, and improvised tools. Training then progresses into empty-hand tactics, disarms, trapping, and real-world self-defense strategies.

Unlike traditional systems, FMA is fast, adaptable, and designed for high-stakes environments. Military professionals, law enforcement, and elite martial artists across the globe trust it.
