KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS SOUTH EAST ASIA – PACIFIC SYLLABUS REQUIREMENTS AS AT 01/10/2012

Tactical (Bladed and Impact) Weapons

The following is a basic guide that instructors and students alike should strive to follow. It represents the minimum knowledge of Tactical Weapons (Bladed and Impact) that each respective grade should possess. The Tactical Weapons taught is a condensed synthesis of the Filipino Martial Art Petiki Tersia Kali and is promoted as a complementary program to the traditional Korean MAs that serve as a core for KOMA. Individuals that show an aptitude to this Weapons program are invited to enroll in an approved FMA PTK program proper.

A period of 3 months regular training (x2 a week, 1.5 hour sessions) is recommended for each junior grade level before attempting to be assessed. Black belts normally wait between one to two years in grade before attempting promotion testing.
