FMA is my specialty

I started out taking krav maga and eventually branched out into BJJ, but I fell in love with Filipino martial arts and studied in earnest for a decade along with jeet kun do. I love the idea of basically working the same techniques between empty hand, short blade, impact weapon, and long blade. I trained pekiti tirsia and arnis as well some silat (technically Indonesian). I was training to fight at a Dog Brothers open weekend when I detached my bicep kickboxing and retired.
