What we teach

At 3-Tigers Martial Arts, our adult program focuses on Arnis and Kali — traditional Filipino martial arts that combine weapons training with self-defense skills. Unlike many martial arts that start with empty-hand techniques, Filipino Martial Arts begin with weapons, then transition to using the same movements with open hands. These concepts create a practical system that's efficient, adaptable, and easy to learn.

Here's what you'll train in class:

• Single & Double Stick (Arnis): Develop coordination, timing, and power with striking and blocking drills.
• Knife Defense & Awareness: Learn real-world strategies to recognize and respond safely to edged weapon situations.
• Empty-Hand Applications: Translate stick and knife movements into open-hand self-defense, including striking, trapping, and joint control.
• Disarms & Counters: Practical skills for removing weapons safely and neutralizing threats.
• Footwork & Positioning: Build agility, balance, and the ability to control distance in any situation.


• Partner Drills & Flow Training: Work with classmates to develop reflexes, adaptability, and calm focus under pressure.

Classes are beginner-friendly, and no prior martial arts experience is required. Training in Arnis and Kali not only builds fitness and confidence, but it also equips you with real self-defense skills you can apply immediately.
