10 Reasons to Study Filipino Martial Arts
1) You will study an ancient art that only a
handful of people on the planet really know
about. The Filipino fighting arts are not very
well known, and there are only a small amount of
people who know this art, most of which are elite
martial artists, police officers, and military
personell.
2) It will instantly improve your skill in any
other sport you play or martial art you currently
practice. This is accomplished hrough the use of
sophisticated training methods that require the
utmost mobility, speed, timing, and
coordination.
3) It will help you in school or in the workplace
because it develops your sense of concentration,
tactical thinking, and decision making all while
teaching you how to keep a clear head. If you can
deal with a 28 inch machete coming at you, then a
physics test or that task your boss asked you to
do is a piece of cake.
4) You will get in awesome shape. The footwork
drills, wielding of weapons, and high-intensity
sparring sessions will definitely make you break
a sweat and tone your whole body.
5) You will experience the beautiful culture of
the Filipino people. When you learn about how a
particular people fight, then you learn about the
people themselves, their history, and their
traditions.
6) It's a great way to reduce stress. There's
nothing quite like the wielding of weapons to get
your frustrations out.
7) You will form bonds and make friendships with
those you train with. Training groups are like a
family, one where each member helps another bring
out the best in themselves.
8) You will develop a sense of courage and a
willingness to help protect those around you. The
FMAs will give you the skills you need to protect
those who cannot protect themselves. If trouble
is ever to arise, you will have the knowledge of
how to deal with that situation.
9) You will develop a strong sense of honor,
focus, self-discipline, and self-awareness. These
are essential attributes to any successful
individual.
10) IT'S FUN! Training in FMA is a blast. Learn
how to become a more powerful person while having
a good time doing it. FMA has rhythm, grace,
finesse...all of which help develop a better
sense of self and a stronger, more courageous
person

Excellent! I have been looking for the correct
spelling of this for a year now. It is rarely
listed in other FMA terminology lists. I use
this technique a lot when the attack is slightly
below shoulder hieght, allowing me to capture
the arm/wrist direct it downward pass my body,
often locking the opponants wrist (or capturing
his weapon) once it has safely passed by my
body.

ayos naman
this terminologies either ancient or not are based
on the everyday living of the filipino's ..
there are still many undiscovered terms and
identities because in the Philippines thousands of
tribes with different culture and dialect can be
found.
|
just a sharing
in each single attack position or any term used,
there is no really uniform term for it because
different tribes and cultures in the Philippines
are unique and different.
