Through the eyes of this academy, everyone is considered Kapatid (Brother/Sister). Filipino martial arts has passed through time as family practice. At I.M.P.A.C.T., everyone is part of the family. Martial arts has its protocols, a family has their expectations. We pull together, help each other, support each other and act as a unit.

Martial arts are heavily influenced by the cultures they originated from. In its truest sense, martial arts is what was born when its people were in need of protection from harms way. It is the strength of the people in the time they are most vulnerable..

Methodology

Filipino Martial Arts

Our main program is in the Filipino martial arts (FMA) which is an umbrella term used to describe the numerous martial art forms that originated in the Philippines, just as Silat describes the martial arts practiced throughout the Malay Archipelago. Practitioners are noted for their ability to fight with weapons or empty hands interchangeably. Weapons are treated as an extension of the hand, and weapons training is considered to promote proficiency in empty-handed techniques. The weapons vary in design, size, weight, materials and usage.  The foundation of our system derives from the Inosanto blend.  We also have a specialized program for our sponsored Virginia Beach Training Group (VBTG) in Sayoc Kali.

Thai Boxing

Complimenting our weapons training, we have Muay Thai as the basis of our empty hand curriculum. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Art of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A practitioner of Muay Thai is the embodiment of endurance and strength with the intesity of pad rounds. Executing strikes using the eight points of contact, as opposed to two points (fists) in Western boxing and four points (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts, a full body workout can be accomplished.

Integrating both weapon and empty hand systems into an open environment of combat application, all tools will be available at any given time.

Jeet Kune Do

Jeet Kune Do (JKD) is the name Bruce Lee gave to his combat system and philosophy in 1967. Originally, when Lee began researching various fighting styles, he gave his martial art his own name of Jun Fan Gung Fu. However not wanting to create another style that would share the limitations that all styles have, he instead gave us the process that created it.

Pulling from this concept, a specialized program that integrates Muay Thai with elements of Krabri Krabong is given as unique curriculum that can utilize up to 15 tools as weapons. This advanced class is a must for the serious weapons practitioner.
