Practical Universal Martial Arts (PUMA) is a versatile self-defense system that combines grappling, striking, and weapon techniques to equip practitioners with effective self-defense skills. PUMA was developed by two Kenpo instructors and brothers, Joshua and Joseph Pestaner. Their approach focuses on simplifying traditional techniques and refining core movements, allowing individuals with no prior martial arts experience to become proficient in a shorter period compared to conventional training methods.
