About
Stick Fighting Toronto – FMA is a martial arts school located in North York, offering training in Taboada Balintawak, a Filipino Martial Art. We believe in beginning our training with weapons, specifically the single stick, and then progressing to empty hand techniques. This unique approach ensures that our students are equipped with practical self-defence skills that can be applied in real-life situations.
Our style of Balintawak originated in Cebu City, Philippines, and is designed for close-quarters combat, making it ideal for urban environments like Toronto. Our instructors are committed to preserving the traditional method of teaching Balintawak, which involves one-on-one or small group instruction. This personalized approach allows students to progress at their own pace and fully grasp the techniques and principles of the art.
In addition to in-person training, Stick Fighting Toronto – FMA also offers online classes. Our experienced instructors use this platform to break down complex concepts and make them easily understandable for students. Whether you prefer in-person or online classes, we have options to suit your learning style and schedule.
