DOCE PARES
Doce Pares is the oldest and largest Filipino Martial Art System and Organization in the world. It is considered one of the most complete and well rounded fighting systems as it covers all ranges of fighting with 12 different styles of combat. Our Doce Pares class is a high energy program that involves partner drills and sparring to impart the skills necessary to defend oneself.
BMA WEAPONS & KATAS
The Breakthrough Weapons and Katas program is designed to teach our students Martial Arts through the tradition of learning Katas. Kata is a Japanese word meaning “form.” It refers to a detailed choreographed pattern of Martial Arts movements. Originally, Katas were teaching and training methods by which successful combat techniques were preserved and passed on.
This class is designed as a low impact way of learning Martial Arts, both with weapons and open hand, in the traditional manner using katas from various different Martial Arts.
IAIDO / KOBUDO
Iaido focuses on the use of the Japanese sword: the Katana. Teaching how to safely draw, cut, and stay aware of your surroundings, Iaido hones this ancient weaponry of Okinawa. These Martial Arts are taught as sections inside of the Weapons and Katas class and are designed to increase your focus, balance, strength, and accuracy with maximum energy efficiency. They are an excellent addition to the Breakthrough Weapons & Katas program and specialize in the finer details and the history of Martial Arts weapons.
