FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) training in the heart of our Nation's capitol! DC Kali is the official DC Metro area training group for FCS Kali. Our curriculum includes knifes, swords, stick-fighting, striking, and grappling; but we place a special emphasis on edged weapons. Our aim is to train hard, learn some sound defense strategies, and make friends along the way. Founded by Tuhon Ray Dionaldo, Filipino Combat Systems (FCS) is an organization dedicated the preservation and promotion of all Filipino Martial Arts. FCS is an organization with members from around the world which is based on Tuhon Ray Dionaldo's over 35 years of practicing various FMA styles from Modern Arnis, Pekiti Tirsia, Sayoc Kali, and many more. He's combine elements of each, into one system that's efficient, fast, concise, and logical. FCS members have extremely diverse backgrounds, and Martial Arts systems. We've all come together because of our love of the Filipino Martial Arts, and our unwillingness to become involved in the politics that has so often stifled our growth. Disciplines of FCS includes single or double stick, single or double blade, empty hands combat, and sword & dagger.

At The Capoeira Spot, we grow stronger together. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed by African warriors enslaved in Brazil, wielded to fight for their freedom. Today, there is still an urgent need for the liberating arts. We specialize in teaching capoeira's martial art, music, history, philosophy, and culture - its way of life. We have classes for youth and adults including for folks brand new to capoeira. Through our programs, we provide people with a positive physical and creative outlet while instilling values of justice, diversity, inclusion, community, and humanity. Our curriculum, honed over 20 years, nurtures students holistically. Through capoeira's movement and music, students discover and express their unique gifts. We are proud to have a diverse membership where people of all races, ages, and physical ability are represented and especially where Black and Brown people are affirmed. Many of our members initially joined to try a fun physical activity. The large majority have stayed because of the growth, empowerment, community, and belonging they gain at The Spot.
