Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) is the indigenous martial arts of the Philippines.  Highly regarded as a battle tested, street applicable style of fighting.  

Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) unlike many of the "traditional" martial arts starts you with a weapon first and then moves you into empty hands.  The philosophy behind that goes back to thousands of years and is still practiced today by today's military.  So the thinking behind FMA is
militaristic in nature where the one who goes home is the victor.  

FMA is a complete martial arts that includes weapons training (single stick, double stick, knife, staff, whip) as well as empty hands (mano-mano) locks and grappling (dumog).
