Pintados FMA

Situation Dictates What is Right

We are a unique system because we prioritize a free-formed style of learning; the strikes, counters, movements, and techniques are based on the connections and understanding of the art - not on patterns or sequences.

About Pintados FMA

The Painted Warriors of Samar

Founded in 2012 in Toronto by GM Oliver "Pintados" Garduce, with the objective of promoting  Arnis/Kali/Eskrima in the GTA to adults who are interested in learning the native art from Samar, Philippines.

​

We aim to educate the practitioners in the various weaponries used throughout the Philippines using the following as the baseline:

​

  • Baston (wooden cane)

  • Bolo (machete)

  • Daga (knife)

  • Espada y daga (sword and dagger)

  • Mano y mano (empty hands)

  • Sparring (padded sticks)

​

By studying in Pintados FMA, we will give you the knowledge and understanding of our martial culture as well as self-awareness and self-defense skillset that allows you to make the best decisions in stressful situations.
