  • Welcome!


  • Mandala Mandirigma is a balanced, three-dimensional martial science inspired from the fighting traditions of the Philippines and Indonesia. While stemming from the individual nations, Mandala Mandirigma was conceptualized in the United States. A student of our system will experience training in weapons, stand-up fighting, ground grappling, healing arts and much more.

    With over 25 years of practice and experience Professor Jordan has developed an evolved martial art practice that is challenging and rewarding to learn. Mandala Mandirigma stems from and teaches arts such as Majapai Derobio, KunTao, Arnis 63 Generals, Sikaran, Silat, BaGua and self-healing, while still expressing a unique distinction from the parent arts.

    Mandala Mandirigma has received official sanctioning and recognition, awarding Professor Jordan with the title of Punong Guro/Founder, at a comparatively young age, bringing a fresh new approach to an ancient art.
