The training at CFMA emphasizes basic skills (posture, stepping, body mechanics) together with fighting principles, which are best summarized as 'change and flow’. We use 'techniques' only as aids for implementing those principles and evaluating our progress, not as merely something to be memorized.

Coincidentally, all our Grandmasters; Tuhon Ray (from Florida), Luo DeXiu (from Taipei) and Han Fang Rui (from China), expressed at different times and languages, one common insight: "A martial artist is characterized not only by the perfection of his techniques but in the way he flows between and around them."

Hanan and Yosi have been practicing and researching Chinese martial arts for more than a decade and Filipino martial arts since 2002 in different schools, locally and abroad. They are members of the FCS Kali and Pambuan Arnis international organizations - consistently train under Lakan Guru Rico Cortes of FCS Kali and Kuya Guru Woody Woodman of the Pambuan Arnis. They have also met and trained with the leaders of these organizations - Tuhon Ray Dionaldo of FCS Kali and Ama Guru Raphy Pambuan of the Pambuan Arnis.

 By all means this is NOT a development of a new style or system but rather a way of integrating various training methods while focusing on their governing principles.

 CFMA  has set a goal to cooperate, learn and share with different teachers, schools, systems and styles in the martial arts world whoever and wherever they are, while avoiding competition and politics. We seek to deepen our knowledge and skills by learning and training with others in mutual seminars and gatherings.

 Currently, the organization is composed of experienced martial artists of different styles and systems like: Kali, Arnis, Escrima, Aikido, Jiu Jitsu, Karate, Ba Gua Zhang, Wrestling, etc.

We continuously grow, slowly but surely…
