Besides reasons of civilian self-defense and cultural preservation, Filipino<br />

martial arts are used for police and military training, especially for<br />

defending against edged weapons. Because FMA are a blend of moves,<br />

other martial artists can readily adopt them. For instance, the FMA now<br />

provide a vehicle for expressing the late Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do (JKD),<br />

as Lee’s system contains the JKD concepts. Eskrima is the “secret recipe”<br />

for angling and fluidity in Kajukenbo. Likewise, FMA can be expected to<br />

absorb what is useful from other martial arts that its practitioners encounter.<br />
