This is Rapid Assault Tactics, and very effective when you need to stop the threat immediately. R.A.T. is broken into 3 phases: Entry, Pressure, and Termination. FMA is Filipino Martial Arts, which teaches Blade, Stick, and Empty Hand.

This class will teach you how to effectively fight with a stick or knife, thereby enabling you to effectively DEFEND against an attack involving a stick or knife. Both the JKD and FMA develop many attributes, such as.... timing, balance, quickness, speed, good footwork, good body mechanics, sensitivity, flow, line familiarization, and much more.
