Zoravor has trained for decades in a number of different Martial Arts, he has aquired Multi-Level Black Belts in Arts with belt rankings, and Instructorships in Arts that don't have belt rankings. Has lived trained, fought, and taught in eight countries across five continents. But his highest experties is the “Filipino Martial Arts” FMA also known as (Eskrima, Arnis, Kali...) where he aquired it as a direct deciple under four different Grand Masters of different FMA which he represents three full systems of FMA. This knowledge was given to him by his Grand Masters and aquired by training, teaching, and fighting in the Filipino Arts.

 

The Panama Arnis Academy has a unique training program that centers on the four training principals of striking, trapping, and grappling with or without weapons. This principle was introduced in Jeet Kune Do. The system of Bruce Lee, however many of the Filipino arts are all inclusive of this concept.

The training is divided into a class of bare hands and a class of weapons.

Our goal is to expand these Martial Arts throughout Latin America, particularly the three main arts that is the cornerstone of the WFMAO under the appropriate Grand Masters of Master Sarkissian.

 

The Center of Operations for the World Filipino Martial Arts is in Panama City in the Republic of Panama.
