We are Martial Artist and not businessmen.The cerficate we render is for lifetime use.(and questioning the validity of its appointment will result into a direct challenge to personal combat,following the traditional code of warriors art.) If you want to return,it is for liesure and goodtime,you need not pay us and renew your certificate.But you can still train and practice with us for free since we are building- up friendship and brotherhood and not business associate. the art cover other weapons like rope, stick, etc? or just knife tactics. If a martial artist does not know and understand the importance and effectivity of some weaponry then he should go back as a student,and should not teach or should retire.Knifefighting techonology does not restrict or limit its application in knife alone,its also introduces other similar weapons edged or impact as well as the importance of poisonous materials that can be applied or put into once weapon. In our system,the trainee must undergone into the intricacy of the empty hand (dumog-pangamot) or the senses,muscle,tendons disruptment method if he or she has no background in the other fighting system.While we introduce the proper use of the derivable weapons like pasak,sakal,bottled water,rope,belt,hand towel,soap,notebook,keychain,sand,cigarete,ring,watch,bag,fortfolio,t-shirt,shoes,ect.
