FREE FORM

• Free form classes are oriented toward street style self-defense.
• Both Aikido and Karate students are welcome to attend free form classes.
• Free form classes focus on both unarmed and weapon defense.  Students should be able to defend themselves with and without use of a weapon in multiple opponent situations.
• FCMA focuses on using techniques that utilize each individual's unique abilities rather than weaknesses. It is important that no arbitrary or artificial rules are imposed on free form self-defense, sparring or grappling as they can inhibit one's ability to learn efficient and effective martial arts.
• Street combat does not ask what martial art is used. The martial arts student forced to defend himself need only ask whether he walked away fulfilling his goal: minimizing injury to one's self with the ability to maximize injury to the opponent (should it become necessary).
