Hi SealKen,

Welcome to MartialTalk!!!

Unfortunately after searching for about 30 minutes, I could not find any FMA schools in Memphis. It seems that others had the same unanswered questions on other boards as well.

I do have some east TN contacts for Hock Hochheim's Scientific Fighting Congress/Close Quarter Combatives and Tuhon Bill McGrath's Pekiti Tersia International organizations if you are interested in possible seminar contacts. I will be glad to post them if you are interested.

Best regards,

Palusut

Here are a couple, still a ways from Memphis, though:

Three Rivers Martial Arts: Jason Hawkins, up in Paducah KY (maybe 3.5 - 4 hours drive) is an Inosanto instructor in JKD and Kali, as well as a Royce Gracie BJJ instructor. I've trained with him, and he's a great guy, with a great school. Their website seems to be messed up, and I haven't been home to Kentucky in almost a year, but I bet the school's still there:

These guys are in Nashville, and appear to incorporate some Kali and Modern Arnis into their curriculum. I've never visited the school:

My recommendation would be to call Guro Jason in Paducah, and ask if he knows anyone closer to you. Who knows, he might know of someone that the rest of us can't find on the internet ...

Best of luck in your search!

Respectfully,
Liam
