Find your starting point with Shawn Zirger.
The Oakwood classes
Shawn teaches Weapons and Kalis Ilustrisimo at our Oakwood studio. This introduction to Filipino martial arts explains the stick work, blade awareness, footwork and timing behind that training.
The timetable uses each class's own name. Check the current Oakwood schedule for dates and availability rather than expecting a separate class called FMA.
Choose the right room
Train at 331 R Oakwood Avenue, Toronto, ON M6E 2V8. Ask FAC which Weapons or Kalis Ilustrisimo session fits your experience and what equipment to bring.
College Street has its own timetable. You can explore Filipino martial arts there too, without mixing the two locations' classes.
A named practice within the collective
Kalis Ilustrisimo appears as its own session in FAC's Oakwood schedule, led by Shawn Zirger. It sits alongside the separately listed Weapons and Silat sessions. Use the class name when asking about training so FAC can connect your inquiry to the right session.
Choosing this class
If you are looking specifically for Kalis Ilustrisimo, ask about the system, material and progression covered in the current class. If your interest is more general, compare the FMA guide and weapons program before deciding. Different labels should help you understand the training rather than imply that all weapon-based practice is the same.
Before attending
Confirm the approved equipment, borrowing arrangements and appropriate entry point. Tell the instructor about prior weapons or martial arts experience without assuming it replaces an introduction to this class's methods and rules.
