Welcome to Animas Martial Arts
AMA training centers on practical self-defense skills for real-world challenges. We train in modern forms of Kali and Aikido in a non-competitive, traditional atmosphere to develop rigorous martial skills that end the attack before it becomes a fight.
Aikido
We practice the Japanese martial art of Aikido as a practical self-defense system, and continuously evolve techniques to develop successful responses for regular people against larger, stronger, and faster opponents. Learn to manipulate the attacker’s balance and redirect or leverage the attack into throws, takedowns and joint locks to end the conflict quickly.
Kali
An indigenous fighting art from the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, Kali is a highly effective, close-quarter empty-hand and weapons-based martial art that includes hand-to-hand combat tactics, joint locks, grappling, weapon defense and weapon disarming tactics.
