Training at 331 R Oakwood Avenue

Good training starts with good people.

Weapons and Silat

Train in weapons, Kalis Ilustrisimo and Silat with Shawn Zirger during the week, then join David Naidu for a weekend Silat class.

Come with questions, bring your experience if you have it, and keep learning. Your training partners are part of that process: you help each other improve.

Programs currently listed at Oakwood

The dated Oakwood schedule is the starting point for choosing a local class. It lists Weapons and Kalis Ilustrisimo with Shawn Zirger; Silat instruction with Shawn Zirger and David Naidu, plus a Sunday Silat session hosted by Jeffrey Warren; Yoga Fusion with Karmit Ifrah; and Mindful Movement with Nadia Yanuziello. Check the class you want on the date you plan to attend.

Weapons and Kalis Ilustrisimo

These are separately named sessions. If you want to study timing, distance and training-weapon movement, ask which class fits your experience and interests. Confirm the required equipment before buying or bringing training tools.

Silat

Compare the specific sessions, teachers and material. Silat is a broad label; the schedule alone does not establish that every teacher uses the same curriculum or lineage. Ask about the focus of your chosen class and how newcomers start.

Yoga Fusion and Mindful Movement

These sessions offer movement-focused alternatives within the Oakwood timetable. Yoga Fusion is described by FAC as combining Hatha flow, gentle Pilates, breathwork and mobility. Ask for the current format of Mindful Movement and whether a fitness pass covers the session you want.

Looking for another FAC art?

Use the College program guide for BJJ with Marco Costa, Wing Chun, Hapkido, Karate and other College sessions. Programs from the wider collective should not be presented as Oakwood classes unless they appear in the Oakwood timetable.
