About us
Welcome to Our Filipino Martial Arts Meetup!
Welcome to a community dedicated to learning, training, and preserving the rich tradition of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), also known as Arnis, Eskrima or Kali.
Whether you've never held a training stick before or have years of martial arts experience, this group is for you. Our Meetup is designed to provide a friendly, supportive, and safe environment where beginners can build a strong foundation while experienced practitioners can sharpen their skills and connect with others who share a passion for FMA.
Training focuses on practical self-defense, coordination, timing, footwork, and the principles that make Filipino Martial Arts one of the world's most effective combat systems. You'll learn through engaging partner drills and progressive instruction that develops confidence, awareness, and real-world skills.
What to expect:
Beginner-friendly instruction
Practical self-defense concepts
Stick and empty-hand techniques
Footwork, timing, and coordination
A welcoming and respectful training environment
Opportunities to train with others who enjoy martial arts
No previous experience or special fitness level is required—just wear comfortable clothing and bring a willingness to learn. Training equipment is available for first-time participants.
Whether you're looking for a new hobby, practical self-defense, a challenging workout, or a deeper appreciation of Filipino martial arts, we'd love to have you join us.
Come train with us, meet great people, and experience the art of Balintawak Arnis!
