ARNIS DE MANO

Fundamental Martial Arts for Ages 4-8

Our Arnis de Mano program focuses on martial arts skill building for young children. We teach primarily empty-hand techniques, emphasizing personal safety and self-control.

Arnis de Mano builds the habits of discipline, cooperation, and confidence.

Arnis de Mano students acquire valuable skills to succeed in school, in sports, and to participate in our Kids/Family Presas Arnis class when they are ready.

FORCE NECESSARY/PAC

Practical and Essential Self Defense

Force Necessary is a martial system, not a martial art.

The focus is on a simplified self defense system that's easy to learn and perfect. This class will get you into the right mindset and give you the right skills to fill out your personal safety strategy.

If your goal is to get serious about self protection, Force Necessary/PAC is for you.

TESTIMONIALS

From KPA Members

My father introduced martial arts to us at an early age. He wanted us to learn a discipline that will help us be confident, focused, and especially mindful of our actions. After years of not training, I wanted to share the value of martial arts to my kids so we decided to join the family class. Kevin and Jackie have been great teachers and mentors not only to my kids but also to our family in this gym they treat you like family “ Kapamilya “ ! They both teach FMA with a great passion of the art but also the culture. If you are looking for a place to start entering and be a better person, this is the place to be. We are so happy that we found this place for us to grow and make FMA a way of life ! Maraming Salamat mga Guro!
