(AZ) Filipino Martial Arts
(FMA) Website. This site is to list

AZ FMA - Mission
We are here to become one of the network
innovators for Filipino Martial Arts material
for Arizona
and the
Southwest Region. With the support of various FMA independent
practitioners, schools and
FMA
martial
art suppliers.
As being one of the original Filipino families whose fathers and mothers
migrated from
the Philippine
islands. We had a bond with each family, and shared our martial arts with
other
pinoy's and pinay's.
These were some of the Pilipino families: Carbajal's, Mendoza's,
Solano's,
Rabino's, Mangosing's, Palucpuc's, Peralta's, Romero's (Just to name a few)
whose
fathers met at the gathering place the Filipino
Center, and the Luzon
Pool Hall. In old
downtown (Chinatown) Phoenix, Arizona - 1st street and Madison. The first karate
school
opened and operated by a Filipino was Felix "Guji" Carbajal teaching Kajukenbo.
And Lonnie
and his brother Leto teaching Classical Eskrima/Arnis here in the farm labor
camps in El
Mirage, Az.
Friends who are carrying on the FMA tradition in the state of Arizona will
be listed, on this
site. Just as Karate, and other martial arts have entered into the mainstream we
have
representatives from every walk of life - expressing there love for the Art and
Pamilya,
Pag Anak meaning Family in Tagalog (Pilipino dialect).
FMA Information
I have been a practitioner of FMA for several years
originally training with Guro's Lonnie, and
Leto
Acosta during the mid-1970's.
And have been a student of the old style/classical FMA under
these traditional Lakayan
Guro's of
yesteryear. Our training includes Daga (dagger) baston/garrote
(stick), and Espada (long bladed weapons), also empty hand.
