Malaya Eskrima (ages 13 and above) Malaya Eskrima is predominantly a weapons based martial art. Its origins are from several Filipino martial arts. Malaya Eskrima teaches single stick, double stick, dagger, stick & dagger, and empty hand techniques in a progressive manner. The ultimate goal of Malaya Eskrima is to enable the student, should the need arise, to use the techniques in a real life situation to defend themselves or loved ones. Stick sparring, although optional, is an integral part of Malaya Eskrima to ensure that the student reaches the final goal which is to be “Malaya” or free. In addition, students will learn about Filipino history, cultural, and vocabulary. Padded weapons are always used by beginners during sparring. This system is limited to students of 13 years and older.

Jujitsu In our Jujitsu program students will learn about the grappling aspect of self-defense. Students will learn techniques such as joint locks, submission holds, throws, takedowns, chokes, restraints, and ground fighting. In other words, the student will learn many of the techniques of modern Mixed Martial Arts. In addition, the Jujitsu student will also recieve training in club, knife, and gun disarms. Weapons training in Jujutsu is of a combative nature- not competition or sport. We will have classes for youth (7-12) and Teens & Adults. Class will be held 3 days per week.
