“Grandmaster Mark Wiley’s DLP is the best. It is informative and to the point, he takes you from basic concepts and principles and first makes you proficient with the solo baston and then takes you into other weapons. His approach is so well thought out, that only without practice, can you not succeed in upping your game. I highly recommend his DLP! Learn why his DLP and training methodologies will change your skills and knowledge base!”
—Sifu Robert Chu
DLP Member & Author of Complete Wing Chun
“Integrated Eskrima is skill-based, principle-driven, and logically-progressive. I can’t recommend this highly enough to anyone who has dabbled in Filipino Martial Arts and would like to take their skills to a whole new level. Guro Mark’s approach is clear, progressive, logically-sound, results in useful skills, and is principle-driven from start to finish.”
— Sensei Russ L. Smith
DLP Member & Author of Principle-Driven Skill Development
“Dr. Mark Wiley has created both a framework and a model that takes Filipino Martial Arts to a level of true mastery. With his Integrated Escrima, Dr. Wiley shows how to analyze a style to identity its strategic goals and its methods to achieve those goals. The result—a style is appreciated for its intent and not judged for its shortcomings. But Integrated Escrima is also a model—its own style—culled from the wisdom of masters imparted to Dr. Wiley personally. He has organized their teachings through the strategic goal of using technique to get to the opponent’s weakest positions. More importantly, he strives to impart mastery to his students. He unselfishly provides layers of details for every strike, footwork, or tactic. At some point, the student finds his or herself applying the lessons in other areas of life. Integrated Escrima is a Way accessible to today’s individual.”
— Sifu Keith Boggess
DLP Member & Kung-Fu teacher
“Guro Mark Wiley has put many miles into his training. His extensive research into the Filipino Martial Arts has given him rare insights into the art of Eskrima. He has proven himself not just as a student of Eskrima but also as a teacher, tirelessly sharing not just his research but also his insights. Guro Wiley’s Integrated Eskrima Distance Learning Program is well thought out, organized, and easy for the distance student to study and progress their Eskrima in a. Integrated fashion. This DLP program is well worth it and a must for the serious FMA student.”
