Class Options
Our main focus is to use Panantukan (Filipino boxing) as an offensive defense, then go into offensive moves from Dutch Kickboxing and Muay Thai. For those who pursue it, concepts from MMA and Jiu-Jitsu will be taught for ground fighting. All is taught from the conceptual framework of The Warrior Path.
