Filipino Martial Arts Seminar with Belton Lubas
Join us for a special Filipino Martial Arts workshop with highly respected instructor Belton Lubas. This seminar will introduce the core principles and techniques of traditional Filipino weapons and empty-hand systems, including Kali, Arnis, and Balintawak.
Participants will learn fundamental striking patterns, coordination drills, defensive concepts, and how these arts develop timing, flow, and real-world combat awareness. Whether you’re brand new to Filipino Martial Arts or already train in striking or grappling, this workshop will expand your understanding of weapon-based movement and its connection to empty-hand fighting.
Kata Gatame Seminar with Shawn Williams
Join us for a special seminar with world-renowned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach Shawn Williams, where we’ll take a deep dive into one of the most powerful chokes in grappling — Kata Gatame (Arm Triangle).
This seminar will break down a three-stage finishing system, common troubleshooting mistakes, and how the Kata Gatame connects into a larger closed loop grappling system that can elevate your entire game. Whether you’re new to the choke or already using it regularly, you’ll learn key details that dramatically improve your finishing rate.
