To all Filipino Martial Arts Practitioners

Welcome to the Philippine Council of Kali Eskrima Arnis Masters. Formed in 2005 and originally spear-headed by it's first Chairman the late Grand Master Roland Dantes who's dream was to form the non first political, non biased and not for profit organisation who's sole purpose is the promotion of the Filipino Martial Arts regardless of style.

With the growing popularity of the Filipino martial arts on a world wide scale, it was felt that their was a need for a body to be organised that could inform the general public of what the indigenous Filipino martial arts are all about.

A need for an organisation to help guide the general public in the right direction as to who are the instructors of this unique martial art. For the first time many Masters have united together in order to help bring the correct information and to help promote the art of the Philippines in a non political, unified organisation.

Over the years the FMA has been known for it's politics and bickering, this is what makes this organisation so unique, it is a gathering of various styles who previously would not have even shared the same room, now joining together in a brotherhood to promote the Filipino martial arts an international scale regardless of style for the betterment of the FMA as a whole.

The Council has received unprecedented acceptance in the Filipino martial arts community both in the Philippines and around the World and we are proud to be advancing the cultural and martial heritage of the Philippines.

The Council is a gathering of properly qualified Masters in the Filipino martial arts who are the leading representatives of their various native Filipino martial arts styles.

We hope you will join us in helping to unify the Filipino martial arts in a non biased and non politcal approach.

Maraming salamat,

Executive Board of Directors
