Martial Arts Taught

The primary martial art taught is Filipino art of Serrada Escrima.
Primarily taught to adults, however, with parental guidance taught to
children age 13 and above.
the dynamic fighting style known as Serrada Escrima is the creation of the
late Grandmaster Angel Cabales.  The Cabales Serrada system stems from
De Cuerdes, an art originated by Felicissimo Dizon.  Serrada restructures the
complex concepts of De Cuerdes inot an organized teaching methodology.
Serrada Escrima encompasses twelve angles from which any attack can be
classified.  The countering actions to these attack angles are based on
movements that utilize the short stick(22-24 inches).  After one year of
consistent training, a student can feel confident in possessing a foundation
that will protect him/herself in most self-defense situations.
 
From day one, students are drilled to following up attacks and elimination their
opponents offensive tools.  In a sense, there are no strict forms of Serrada,
only application drills.  From Serrada's basic foundation, a student can
quickly counter and overcome a multitude of weapons, open hand attacks,
as well as kicking and grappling techniques.
 
 
Additionally taught are the arts of Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido.
Instruction is available in these arts for children 6 years and older.  Adult
instruction is also available.
 
Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido are Korean arts of self defense with a rich history.
Both of these arts can be devastating all in of themselves.  However, when
combined they will give anyone a tremendous edge in tournament competition,
or in self defense situations.
