Your students are waiting to learn. Are you ready to lead? Discover the structured, step-by-step system designed to help you confidently teach Filipino Martial Arts at your school.

As a martial arts school owner, you know that adding the right program to your curriculum can energize your students, attract new enrollments, and set your school apart. Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) – with its practical focus on stick, knife, and empty-hand combat – is one of today's most versatile and in-demand disciplines.

However, teaching FMA without a clear system can feel overwhelming. How do you ensure your students learn effectively? How can you teach confidently when the curriculum isn’t structured? And how do you find a program that aligns seamlessly with your current classes?

Instructorship Mastery in Filipino Martial Arts Program

The Philippine Martial Arts Alliance (PMAA) is here to bridge that gap. Our Instructorship Mastery in Filipino Martial Arts (IMFMA) Program gives you the tools, guidance, and resources you need to teach this incredible art with ease. Whether you’re new to FMA, an existing FMA instructor or a seasoned martial artist looking to implement a proven system, this program was designed with you in mind. With PMAA, you won’t just learn the techniques - you’ll master the art of teaching them confidently, safely, and professionally. Your students will thrive, and your school will flourish.

What’s Holding You Back from Teaching Filipino Martial Arts?

As a martial arts professional, you’ve likely considered introducing Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) to your school. The techniques are practical, exciting, and widely respected - but implementing an FMA program can feel like an uphill battle without the right system in place.

Here are the most common concerns martial arts school owners face:

Time Constraints: Balancing your school’s demands while introducing a new program feels impossible without a streamlined process.
Lack of Structure: How can I teach a complete FMA curriculum that’s easy for my students to follow and enjoy?
Confidence in Teaching: What if I don’t feel fully equipped to teach Filipino Martial Arts to my students?
Time-Consuming Prep: I already have a busy schedule. How can I add FMA without spending hours designing lesson plans?
Retention Issues: How do I ensure my students stay engaged and committed to learning FMA? Even the most motivated students can lose interest without dynamic and easy-to-follow drills.
Cost of Training: Traveling to seminars or events to learn FMA can get expensive, and I don’t always have time to leave my school.
Limited Teaching Support: Who do I turn to when I have questions about techniques, lesson plans, or integrating a new program into my school?

These concerns are valid - but they don’t have to stop you from taking your school to the next level.
