I have been a member of the Philippine Martial Arts Alliance for over 5 years now, training alongside Master Julius and my fellow Kapatids (brothers & sisters) here in Australia. Being one of the first PMAA Black Belts in Australia is both an honor and a privilege I hold dear to my heart. I believe that the Philippines Combatives program provided by Philippine Martial Arts Alliance (PMAA) is AWESOME! (a word my students say I use too much)

All the seminars, regional training sessions, the Philippine training camp , the Cruise training camp, and the Online University all provide the best level of instruction available. Each of these events brings together people from all walks of life who seem to have one thing in common; the love of the art. Attending any one of these events is a most rewarding experience.

The Philippine Combatives style is an easy to follow curriculum which greatly enhances your current style of martial arts, or if you've never studied before, provides a great foundation to protecting yourself in the real world. The fundamentals of the style initially focuses on single stick, double stick, and knife combatives, from traditional to modern approach. Having mastered these, the style expands into sword & dagger, hand-to-hand, and other advanced techniques.

If there is a PMAA seminar coming to a place near you, I HIGHLY recommend attending! You'll never forget it!

Mabuhay!!

As a student of the Martial Arts for almost 10 years I have attended dozens of master run seminars. The instruction of Master Melegrito with the assistance of Master Evins was by far the most memorable and inspiring seminar I have ever attended!

Master Melegrito presented a holistic view of the Martial Arts, PMAA, a complete system that provides something for the novice and expert alike.

Master Melegrito trains and instructs with professionalism, expressing a strong and realistic view of his art that surpasses ego and leaves his participants inspired and eager for more.

A truly unmissable and inspirational experience.

Thank you Master Melegrito and Master Evins! We are all looking forward to your return in 2011.

My first exposure to PMAA and Master Melegrito was in May, 2006, at a workshop held in Southern Pines, NC. Having some prior experience in the Filipino Martial Arts under Guro Dan Inosanto, I was looking forward to meeting Master Melegrito. He invited me down to the seminar through a student of mine and, upon meeting him, he struck me as a very friendly, outgoing and charismatic man who made me feel very much at ease in his environment. Guro Inosanto, with whom I've been studying since 1978, has always encouraged his students to be open-minded with regards to other arts and instructors so I was hoping that Master Melegrito would receive me as a student. Not only did he receive me, he was extremely open in sharing his methods of Arnis and quite passionate when talking about his vision for PMAA. Once the workshop got underway, it was very evident that he was a martial artist of great skill and with the ability to teach his art exceptionally well, which is not always a "given" that the two go hand in hand.

I am honored and proud to be a student of Master Melegrito and look forward to helping him promote his art and PMAA in the future. --------------------------------------------- Master Melegrito,

I first wanted to thank you again for putting on a very well ran and organized certification class. All of us had a great time, and enjoyed your instruction on the stick.

We all agreed that the class was very educational and we all got a lot out of it. Lots of practice to do!

I really like the way you are structuring the learning curriculum for the stick and knife program for your organization.

I believe it is a must to assure everyone is leaning the same basic knowledge and techniques of the art.

Please keep me on your e-mail list for upcoming events, especially instructor certification courses! Thank you for everything, we had a great time and gathered a great deal of information from the course.

Respectfully,
Sage Lehr ----------------------------------------------- Hey Master Melegrito,

I really enjoyed the seminar yesterday! It was fun going out of my area to train as a student and continue to learn the awesome practical applications of the stick and knife. Mr. Hutchinson and I will continue to train hard; we hope to have you come by Charlotte/Mint Hill sometime in the near future.

God bless & Pil Sung!
