“Filipino Martial Arts”, or FMA, also known as arnis,kali or eskrima/escrima, is the national martial art of the Philippines. These three terms are, sometimes, interchangeable in referring to traditional martial arts of the Philippines, which emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives, bladed weapons, and various improvised weapons, as well as “naked hand” techniques without weapons.

Master Robert T.Ates’s (founder of Ates Combat Academy) Ates Combat Eskrima aim at to providing equal opportunity of learning fast, effective and direct defense for everyone, all ages. Master Ates developed the Ates Combat Eskrima (ACE) with one specific goal in mind; to create a realistic form of self-defense for the 21st century! and maximizing each student’s individual potential. In this approach Robert T.Ates’s Combat Academy (ACA) targets also transferring knowledge of the original techniques taught by the great master Bruce Lee (Jun Fan) to the next generations. The common goal of all our instructors is to ensure that martial arts students receives a high-quality training program based on scientific principles, with emphasis on health and student training safety.

Master Robert Tarik Ates is one of the best instructors of Filipino martial arts. Follow and learn from Ates and you will see that you will also gain more knowledge about realistic self defense. He will show you that Ates Combat Eskrima is more than just sport and martial arts.

Based on these principles, our associated martial arts instructors and schools all over the world based on the highest level of quality and best training safety for our students. 

Ates Combat Eskrima students start their instruction by learning to fight with weapons, and only advance to empty-hand training once the stick and knife techniques have been sufficiently mastered. This is in contrast to most other well-known Asian martial arts, but it is justified by the principle that bare-handed moves are acquired naturally through the same exercises as the weapon techniques, making muscle memory an important aspect of the teaching. It is also based on the obvious fact that an armed person who is trained has the advantage over a trained unarmed person, and serves to condition students to fight against armed assailants. Most systems of Arnis apply a single set of techniques for the stick, knife, and empty hands, a concept sometimes referred to as motion grouping. Since the weapon is seen as simply an extension of the body, the same angles and footwork are used either with or without a weapon. The reason for this is probably historical, because tribal warriors went into battle armed and only resorted to bare-handed fighting after losing their weapons. Many systems begin training with two weapons, either a pair of sticks or a stick and a wooden knife. These styles emphasize keeping both hands full and never moving them in the same direction, and train practitioners to become ambidextrous. For example, one stick may strike the head while the other hits the arm. Such training develops the ability to use both limbs independently, a valuable skill, even when working with a single weapon.

A core concept and distinct feature of Filipino martial arts is the Live Hand. Even when as a practitioner wields only one weapon, the extra hand is used to control, trap or disarm an opponent’s weapon and to aid in blocking, joint locking and manipulation of the opponent or other simultaneous motions such as bicep destruction with the live hand.
