Unleash Your Potential with Filipino Martial Arts
FMA Training in Los Angeles
At Alonzo Martial Arts in Los Angeles, CA, our Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) program offers a unique blend of combat techniques derived from both Western and Eastern martial arts traditions. The most recognized forms within FMA—Kali, Escrima, and Arnis—focus on a comprehensive approach to self-defense that empowers students of all ages.
Empower Your Self-Defense Skills
Unlike many martial arts that begin with empty-handed techniques, our FMA training starts with the stick (or baston). This foundational tool enables us to teach students key concepts in range management, timing, and distance control. As students progress, they learn to apply these principles across various weapon types while developing beautiful and effective fluid movements. Eventually, our curriculum transitions to empty-hand techniques and improvisation with available objects, enhancing adaptability in real-world scenarios.
FMA Classes for Building Future Leaders
Our FMA classes are designed for older kids and teens, ensuring they develop robust skills and a strong character in a supportive environment. As part of their journey, formal belt tests require memorization of essential self-defense techniques, forms, blocks, and various strikes, including punches and kicks. Our innovative training methods, such as the "90 days to black belt" program, provide students with the resources they need to excel.
Mind, Body, and Character Development
At Alonzo Martial Arts, we are committed to fostering physical and mental growth by learning kali techniques. Our students improve physical fitness while focusing on essential aspects such as balance, strength, stamina, and flexibility. We integrate mind/body connections through meditation and situational awareness, helping students shed self-imposed limits and expand their comfort zones.
Developing Skills for Life
We believe that character development is forged through adversity in a nurturing environment. Our overarching goal in martial arts training is to build confident, responsible individuals who understand the importance of respect, empathy, and self-regulation. By teaching our students how to recognize boundaries—both theirs and those of others—we instill essential life skills along with martial arts techniques.
