Malay Fighting Arts (MFA) is a comprehensive fighting art that employs the influences of
Pentjak-Silat (Indonesian martial arts), and Kali (Filipino martial arts), Panantukan (Filipino
Boxing), and other grappling arts for a more complete fighting art. 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 ranges, hand and foot techniques, 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.
