Building unity in martial arts through brotherhood:Philippine Martial Arts Alliance was created with equality among martial arts practitioners in mind.  “ALLIANCE” is the  key concept of this organization. The goal is to provide all FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) practitioners with an organization to belong. Although, there are certain guidelines to be met it is our goal to provide our members with genuine brotherhood, quality materials, great student service and a politics-free environment.  KAPATID (ka-pa-teed)is a Tagalog word for brotherhood (gender free).  Please bear in mind that although we use titles such as grandmaster, masters and instructors, EVERYONE is a KAPATID! Unity is further accomplished with each person’s effort to put differences aside, including egos and self-righteousness. The foundation of our organization is “Building Unity through Brotherhood”.

"The Philippine Martial Arts Alliance is dedicated to providing the best education to our existing student members and instructors by bringing all of the different systems of Philippine Martial Arts in unity and one alliance". Master Melegrito
