Required fee

Why: dues cover for our monthly rent and for instructors time. the art is free!

We train a hybrid of Filipino martial arts (FMA) concepts based on the classical and modern principles of developing the self (mind, body, and spirit), discipline, self-awareness, self-preservation, self-improvement, and self-defense.

Our arnis, kali, eskrima classes are now being taught in 2 locations: Fonseca Martial Arts in Evenston, Illinois, and Dragon Strike Martial Arts in Naperville, Illinois.

We are sanctioned by:

International Garimot Arnis Training Group, Garimot Harimaw Buno (Filipino Traditional Grappling) under the tutelage of Gat Puno Abundio "Garimot" Baet, the founder of the system.
