They are a platform for creating a truly well-rounded Martial Artist.
The MKG Method includes, but is not limited to:
-
Kali-Escrima-Arnis: Filipino Weaponry
Exciting stick, sword, and knife fighting famous for defending the Moro people against colonization, and in more modern times, for their impact on Hollywood action cinema.
-
Jeet Kune Do & Wing Chun
The Martial Styles of the legendary Bruce Lee! Lee is considered to be one of the grandfathers of modern Mixed Martial Arts. MKG trains in Wing Chun, the art that impacted Lee the most, and Jeet Kune Do, the style that Lee himself created.
-
Muay Thai
“Thai Boxing” has always served as the conditioning platform for MKG, as well as a primary source for strong defense, and heavy tools. MKG was among the very fist organizations to formally promote Muay Thai in the United States.
-
Panantukan & Silat
Panantukan & Silat are Filipino and Indonesian fighting methods celebrated for their devastating techniques, which combine with advanced footwork and combat tactics. As beautiful as they are functional, these arts are very unique, and offer the MKG Method high-level tools for personal protection.
