We are the Kansas State Rep. of the R.A.V.E.N. Close Quarter Combat Method.

     The Malay Fighting Arts Academy teaches the fighting skills found in Southeast Asia such as Indonesian Silat, Filipino Kali, and other arts combined into one system called the Malay Fighting Arts (MFA). This is a highly combative fighting method that drops all traditional ceremonies and get down to the real reason for training, COMBAT SKILL!!! Guro James Hogue has 43+ years of martial arts training, and 25+ years in Law-enforcement and  security, as well as a Iraqi War Veteran. Guro Jim has had to use his art to defend himself against violent criminal bent on his destruction by using sucker punches, and sudden attacks.

The Curriculum Overview:

      The students will begin by learning the basic fighting concepts to build a solid base by learning Panantukan (Filipino Boxing Called “Dirty Fighting”), body mechanics, and footwork (Langkahs) to be able to strike and move. The student starts off by learning hand and foot combinations while evading incoming strikes and kicks.

     As the students progresses they learn the Close Quarter Combat skills of Kuntao such as striking combinations, full body and ricochet hitting, and quick take-down.

Then the student learns Fighting from Clinch, Takedowns from Dumog (Filipino Grappling) and other grappling skills, then into locking and finishing moves. The MFA Academy grappling skills taught is upright grappling, grappling from a kneeling position, and from the ground. Then the ground skills are finish with Indonesian Harimau Silat (Ground Tiger Fighting) for a more complete fighting skill set.

     The students will then learn the use of weapons, and use of improvised weapon to help protect yourself. You’ll learn single stick, double stick, stick and knife, single knife, double knife, karambit, and so on. A long with these skill sets you’ll learn the deployment and use of your weapon with realistic combat to help better prepare you for what real life throws at you.
