ISSHINRYU KARATE
Isshinryu is a style of Okinawan karate founded by Tatsuo Shimabuku and named by him on January 15, 1956. Isshin-Ryu Karate is largely a synthesis of Shorin-ryu karate, Goju-ryu karate, and kobudo. The system is summed up in its kata, or formal practice methods, and the specific techniques used to punch (vertical fist) and kick (snapping kicks).

ESCRIMA
Escrima is a popular Filipino martial art dating back to the 1500s, during the colonization of the Philippine Islands by the Spanish. Escrima is a very simplified but practical form of combat technique originally designed as a self-defense tool. Because of its effectiveness, Escrima is also taught extensively in many Special Forces including the Navy Seals and Army Special Forces.
