AFA stands for Applied Fighting Arts.
It is the precursor to what is now STMA - the Shiro Tora Martial Arts, the Applied Fighting Arts of Karate, Jujutsu, Wing Chun, Kali and Muay Thai - Martial Arts adapted and applied in real Self Defence situations on the streets of 21st Century Britain.
We use the Applied Fighting Arts of Freestyle Karate, Boxing, Kickboxing and Thai Boxing in our impact work and sparring.
We use the Applied Fighting Arts of Judo, JuJutsu and wrestling in our matwork and grappling.
We use the Applied Fighting Arts of Japanese Kobudo, Okinawan Kobudo, Kali, Eskrima and Krabi in our weapons defence, drills, combat and sparring.
We apply these arts in Self Defence and Street Fighting.
We apply these in Sparring and they can be applied in Sport contests.
The application of the Kickboxing arts with the Grappling arts forms Vale Tudo, our MMA sparring system.
Vale Tudo mixed with the Feng Wei arts creates Street Combat or SPARKS.
AFA is an American style anacronysm, simlar to what the JKD guys use.
