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.

Combatives Program
|
MFA-Combatives is the tactical side of our program that
teaches Military Personnel, Security, Correctional, and
Police Officers how to overcome extreme violence that they
face day to day. This isn’t a program put together by
someone that just does martial arts, but never wore a
badge.
Guru Jim knows exactly what the Officers need because he
has been there, and done that. This program will teach you
Empty Hand Close Quarter Combat, Baton Techniques
(Strikes, Blocks, and Locks), Gun Disarms and Counter
Disarms, Spontaneous Defense against Knife Attacks and
Club Attacks, Knife Fighting, Less-Lethal Shotgun as well
as mental exercises to help the Officer to go from relaxed to
fight mode in a split second.
