Freedom style Martial Art

Freedomstyle martial art is a combination style and a way to study martial arts as a whole. It consists of a foundation system to which skill modules are added as students progress in ability. The foundation system teaches essential general martial arts skills, and the skill modules introduce the essentials of tai chi, kungfu, capoeira, muay thai, sword, staff, aikido and jujitsu.
