The Combat Objective Battle Ready Applications or C.O.B.R.A.™ self-defense program is designed to be highly effective in real world situations where your survival is on the line. C.O.B.R.A.™ was created from experience in law enforcement, close quarter combat techniques and martial arts with further extensive study on the psychology of criminal intent and realistic self defense. This system was designed with the sole purpose of personal safety and defense.
For over 25 years, FICA Oakland has envisioned a Bay Area where the ancestral cultural art form of Capoeira Angola is shared, respected and preserved while simultaneously nurturing a community of Alameda County residents that thrives through historically and culturally relevant artistic practices.
We use Capoeira as a platform to get in great physical and mental shape, as well as being part of the large community already here in Bay Area. We also spread the language and culture of Brazil and teach the music and rhythms of this fabulous art form. All students will learn the physical, mental, musical, and cultural aspects of the art form.
