LATOSA ESCRIMA

 

Latosa Escrima has been a major influence at PAMA since 1982. Our Kenpo Karate system has fully integrated the concepts of Latosa Escrima and brought our Kenpo to a higher level.

 

Our Escrima program is a requirement for PAMA Kenpo curriculum students. Escrima is also offered separately in the form of private lessons, workshops & seminars, short courses on specialized topics, and as a fully accredited intermediate and advanced level training. We also offer an instructor Certification Program for individuals, groups and school owners.

 

PAMA offers intensive courses in wooden weapons, bladed weapons, Latosa Concepts and transition from weapons to empty hands applications. We consider ourselves to be an "anti-grappler" school, using weapons and empty hands to avoid being on the ground. Latosa Concepts also strongly address the issues of why we are studying Escrima and what it means in our lives.
