ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS

Holmes Martial Arts is an independent martial arts group that teaches two distinct systems.

Our Karate program is a unique blend of traditional Korean Karate and modern training methods. The goal is to provide a training experience that balances the 3 key elements of art, self-defense, and sport. HMA's Karate program is a great choice for all ages!

Holmes Martial Arts also teaches the rare Filipino Martial Art of "Bayani Arnis." Bayani Arnis is a system rooted in the fighting arts of the Phillippines. Created by Guro Mike Pana, the art focuses on the use of impact weapons as well as empty hand self-defense techniques.

Bayani Arnis is a great choice for adults and teens who want to learn practical self-defense with weapons.
