The Malay Fighting Arts (MFA) is highly combative martial arts made up from the influences of
Indonesian Martial Arts, Filipino Martial Arts, and other arts that Guru James Hogue (Guru Jim)
has studied over 35+ years of training. Guru Jim has had to learn how to respond to violent,
and sudden attack due to his 20+ years as an Law-Enforcement Officer. MFA drops all the
traditional ceremonies of most martial arts to get to the real reason for the training;
self-defense, self-confidence, and just to enjoyment of the art. MFA instructional methods will
allow the student to learn a method of defense at a surprisingly fast rate.

The Curriculum
|
The student will start off learning the basic “Foundation Building Techniques” such as
Strikes, Kicks, Jurus (Short Forms), Langkahs (Footwork), Basics of Panantukan (Filipino
Boxing Called “Dirty Fighting”), Nerve Center Striking (Kilpap), and how to build flowing
combinations in the appropriate ranges. Then the student goes on to learn the short forms call
“Jurus” and many different flowing drills to build a good foundation for combat skills. The
student will first learn Panantukan (Filipino Boxing), while later learning the quick takedowns of
Pentjak-Silat along with the footwork to bring it all together.
The student starts their training in weapons such as stick fighting (single and double), knife
fighting (single and double), stick and knife fighting, and many others. This type of training will
teach you to use improvised weapon and fight with them in the same fashion as traditional
weapons. Weapons training will also help you to improve your empty hand skills.
Finally, the student will round off their training while learning how to fight from the ground. The
student will learn Harimau (Ground Tiger), this will help you to fight no matter if your attacker is
standing or on the ground with you. MFA grappling is taught from the standing position,
kneeling position, and on the ground.
