FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES IN SAN DIEGO, CA

The Philippines are a culture of fighters and warriors with hundreds of tribal and family lineages of combat that literally define the Filipino people. The Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) are a dynamic and complete body of physical combative expression allowing practitioners to be prepared for the potentialities of a violent encounter. At P5 Academy, I offer a full curriculum of FMA direct from the lineages of Kalis-Ilustrisimo and Jendo-Arnis.

With flexible scheduling and affordable rates, P5 Academy makes it easy to learn Jiu Jitsu in San Diego, CA. Call or visit me today to learn more about my classes.

JENDO-ARNIS:

Jendo-Arnis is a system of Filipino Martial Arts that was formed on the tough streets of Tiger City (Mandaluyong district of Metro-Manilla) by Grandmaster Jonathan Makiling-Abaya and is known as “The Economical New Fist Way.” GM Abaya is a world famous martial artist with associations in many countries worldwide. Jendo-Arnis is a beautiful interpretation of Arnis that was created for street effectiveness and is currently taught to many of the law enforcement and security agencies in the Philippines. Consisting of stick, knife, kickboxing, trapping and clinch work, this manifestation of FMA is unique and street tested. Sensei Palmejar is a direct student of GM Abaya and the Head International Coach for USA Jendo.

KALIS-ILUSTRISIMO:

Kalis-Ilustrisimo is a lineage of FMA from Cebu in the central Philippines created by the late great Grandmaster Antonio “Tatang” Ilustrisimo. He was a poor Filipino street fighter known for taking challenge matches that often ended in death. The Ilustrisimo legacy was left to Tony Diego and Romeo Macapagal and from there was handed down to two of the world’s leading eskrimadors, Sifu/Guro Roy Harris and Guro Peachie Baron Saguin. Guro Palmejar is a direct student of both Roy Harris and Peachie Baron Saguin and continues to propagate the teachings of Kalis Ilustrisimo in the Southern California area.

By utilizing the effectiveness of Jendo-Arnis and Kalis-Ilustrisimo, P5 Academy has created a training method that will allow each practitioner complete control over their martial arts progression. With emphasis on economy of motion, angulation, fluidity and control, we have one of the most comprehensive Filipino Martial Arts programs available.

My son has been attending the kids class for about 3 months now. The instructor, Philip is great-- he is very warm and patient with the kiddos. We've visited a few different dojos, and this one is by far the most affordable, with a friendly atmosphere and a relaxed, attentive instructor. You really get a sense that you are a part of a community, and you can tell that Sensei truly cares about the progress of each of his students. The kids class has mixed ages; my son is 9, but there are little ones as young as 5 in the program. The activities he uses to teach work well for all the age groups, and he will match kids when sparring. Overall, it has been a great experience for my son. He has learned a lot while having fun in the process. The only bad thing is that now he thinks its funny to pin Mama... LOL--- so it looks like I might need to start taking classes too!

I've trained under Sensei Phillip Palmejar since 2009 and I couldn't recommend his academy and his instruction more highly. Phillip is a highly gifted martial artist, kind person, and great teacher.I started as a complete beginner to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but other students have joined with previous experience. Phillip welcomes and accommodates many levels of experience and varying levels of commitment; I participate in 3 to 4 classes a week, while others train anywhere from 6 times a week to once a month.I like the fact that the environment of learning BJJ that Phillip encourages is friendly and not intimidating, but also is really respectful of the art.The academy is large, has clean beautiful mats, and is extremely accessible (close to the 5 and 163 in downtown SD).BJJ is super fun and P5 academy is a really welcoming place to begin training.

P5 Academy has the best transit access of all jiujitsu schools in San Diego. It is on both the blue and orange trolley lines as well as close to bus routes 2,3,7,11,30,50,120,150,215,235,901,923,992 as well as the special rush hour routes to and from downtown. Routes 5, 20, 170, 929 are just a few blocks further away.The facility is owner operated thus no going through some middleman or membership director with all kinds of conditions to join and train. There are 3 different rates based on whether you wish to train up to 2 days a week, 4 days a week, or on an unlimited basis. The membership costs are lower than most of the competition as well.Besides jiujitsu, JKD, MMA, Pankration, Filipino Martial Arts, and boxing are also offered. The facility has classes Saturday through Thursday (6 days a week). The classes are small and there is always a lot of personal attention, considerably more than you can get elsewhere. There are plentiful open mat times as well. The facility is clean, completely accessible, and you will find no egos. Phillip Palmejar (Black Belt under Roy Harris) as owner and instructor does an excellent job in giving you personal attention and answering all your martial arts related questions.The training environment is a place where everyone knows your name. Give P5 a try, I am glad that I did!
