What does Moroland do?
Moroland's
main function and mission is the propagation of knowledge, the
practical use of, and the study of ancient and modern
Filipino/Indonesian martial arts and their weapon use, raging from
simple brooms made from the coconut tree, fire-hardened
rattan sticks, bow and arrow, to the advanced metallurgy of finely
crafted swords, spears, knives, shields and even personal body armor...
the historical information and the science behind these skills are as vast
as the Philippine/Indonesian Archipelago themselves....
Some of
Moroland's members also create their own weapons and share metal smithing
knowledge with other MMAA members. Most of MMAA members, if not all,
are students of various Filipino and Indonesian martial arts systems
and the alike, and anyone who is interested in learning Filipino
weaponry and how the Filipino's used them through their systems can join upon the approval
from the MMAA Advisory Board of Governors.
Texoma Martial Arts
joined the Moroland Association in mid- 2007, and our members can apply
into the MMAA during normal business hours.
