Our Philosophy –
The Elements of Martial Arts

At Elemental5, we train with the guiding principles of the elements—Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Void. These elements represent different approaches to fighting, techniques, and personal development, aligning with the core principles of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA). Inspired by Miyamoto Musashi’s Book of Five Rings, our training emphasizes adaptability, mental discipline, and self-mastery.

  • 🔥 Fire – Aggression, strength, and directness. Fire practitioners excel in offense, quick attacks, and assertiveness.

  • 💧 Water – Fluidity, adaptability, and relentlessness. Water-focused fighters flow with their opponent’s movements, using their energy against them.

  • 💨 Wind – Speed, precision, and distance. Wind practitioners create angles, perfect their timing, and use space to stay one step ahead.

  • 🪨 Earth – Stability, defense, and grounding. Earth practitioners focus on strong positioning, defensive techniques, and balance.

  • ⚪ Void – Emptiness, stillness, and openness. Void represents the ability to be free from attachment, perceiving the space between actions with clarity and mental calmness.

​

Our approach encourages creativity and personal expression, allowing each student to discover their unique path. Whether your focus is striking, control, or awareness, we aim to develop a well-rounded set of martial arts skills.

Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) is a comprehensive, versatile martial art known for its weapon-based techniques and empty-hand applications. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, FMA equips students with the skills to defend themselves using sticks, knives, and other weapons. This adaptability makes it ideal for real-world scenarios.

​

At Elemental5, we teach both the weaponry and empty-hand aspects of FMA, providing a well-rounded martial arts experience. Our training allows you to gain both practical self-defense skills and a deeper appreciation for martial arts philosophy.
