Welcome!

BMA was established in 2003 down by the bay on second street in Los Osos. The studio offers adult training in the Filipino martial art of Escrima, Tai Chi, Whip and Axe throwing. Kids classes combine Escrima training ( including padded sword play) and a mixed style of wrestling. Humor and approachability in the training environment create a relaxed, fun atmosphere in which to practice.

Owner and senior instructor Randal Bodlak holds instructor ranks in Kenpo, Tai Chi, Escrima and Latino y Daga whip and has been teaching since 1990.

Randal is gifted with a generosity of heart and a ferocity borne from years steeped in the craft of fighting and fighting well. He lives it, loves teaching it to his students, and truly cares about their progress. Improvise, adapt, overcome.”
