Kali - The Filipino Cultural Art of Stick and Knife Fighting

From FmaAdmin: This is an article from www.articlesnatch.com. I cannot believe what this author wrote. Obviously this author has very little knowledge of the FMAs and considering his military background, was not informed that the FMAs are being taught to some of the elite special forces of the world! He also forgets the fact that the Philippines won their independence from Spain and also forgot about the effectiveness of the FMAs during the guerrilla fighting with the Japanese during WWII!

Mixing up MMA - Filipino Martial Arts in MMA?

I have written this editorial piece with the intention of opening people’s minds and helping shut down preconceived ideas about what belongs or does not belong in a mixed martial arts fight.
