Bourne to Fight 2018 – An 8-week Mini-course (Island Edition)

The fighting techniques from the Jason Bourne movie series are taken directly from the Filipino martial arts.  The choreographer on the first three movies was the renowned Jeff Imada from the Inosanto Academy.  The fight scenes use realistic FMA applications including empty hand against knife, improvised weapons, and use of environment.

 “The class was a fun and informative blend of learning, fundamental practical Kali skills and movie action movements.   I will be doing it again”  Kevin (2015)
