In these hard times, we must keep our immunity up and boosted.
So we choose to make outdoors training sessions with a safety distance, and a cardio oriented training session... with a certain mixed method and very accessible as well as adaptable to all levels from beginners...
Here are some examples:
Since 2018, working on updating the video archive on the facebook page: FMA Women. Do not hesitate to check it out, there are hundreds of videos of women and girls training all styles of filipino martial arts.
Here are some of ours:

Teaching Filipino Martial Arts to children can be challenging, but rewarding
It was created by Jose Caballero. The three counts, on the other hand, referred to the frequency and speed of hits in some of the system's techniques, wherein three separate strikes are usually perceived of as only one due to the speed and power by which these are executed. The Tagalog word "orihinal" is translated as "original".
Newcomers progress through three different levels; training is intense and needs to be executed with maximum strength and endurance. De Campo Original uses angular strikes common in most arnis systems, except it does not have a vertical (12 o'clock) strike. De Campo Original emphasizes wide, powerful strikes that can be adapted for execution at any range.
The current heir of the system, Master Jong Caballero, the eldest of Mawe's sons, continues to practice and teach De Campo Original. He resides in Toledo City, Cebu, Philippines.

Started by sister association Hiraya FMA in Romania, and continued in France by Carabao FMA - Eskrima First Lesson - Strike! it means only that in your first training you will spar. That sparring lesson will take around three minutes, and is done with padded sticks and head and hand protections... also the instructor will addapt the intensity of the lesson close to your level of comfort.
At the beginning the lesson was placed right at start of your first lesson, but latter on evolved to be at the end of your first lesson, leaving you the time to get to know some more about the way of striking...
Here are some examples below... some of the students have studied FMA but did not spar, other have never studied FMA or sparred with sticks...
never trained FMA, never sparred, his first 3 minutes of FMA were these:
squash player, never trained FMA not sparred with sticks:
left-handed judo & sambo fighter, never trained FMA
FMA (Balintawak) and KArate instructor

Agak Attack, is a project designed for advanced students of Balintawak who want to 'spar' short range and mix elements from the curriculum (offence defense, groupings, semihitting, disarms, counters, trapping...) and test their reflexes to a more harsh Palakaw - Padagan play... this is why we wear the head gear, so that we can identify whee our mistakes are, so we can work later on on correcting them. Below are some videos of how we do it:
BLADE ESKRIMA FRANCE is the club in Echirolles 38 France, where we discovered and learned Nickelstick Balintawak and Filipino Martial Arts.

The Dekiti-Tirsia Siradas System is an ancient Filipino combat and survival system indigenous to the island of Negros in the Visayan Region of the Philippines. This fighting art is very combative with emphasis on impact and bladed weapons as well as empty hand techniques and even firearms.
I will make a proper introduction to the art and the training session we offer, but later on, for the next days i will update all our available trainings and projects.
For the moment you can take a look at some videos from training with GM Jerson Tortal Jr, in Bacolod, Philippines.
