Need help in determining this school legitimacy California?

[Ilikesilat]

Hello all

I'm still new to Filipino martial arts (or martial arts in general) and have never trained in it before. So far, I have narrowed it down to two styles and one of the style is Kombatan in southern California. I tried researching the instructor's name and school legitimacy on different Kombatan websites, but, unfortunately I couldn't find any information on either one. I was going to go watch a class but wasn't sure of what questions I should ask or how to determine if such a school was legitimate or not. So I was hoping someone from here could help guide me with any information or advice.

This the school I found:
FMA Exchange (FMAX)/ Arnis-Kali / self-defense fitness SOCAL Message Board - FMA Exchange (FMAX)/ Arnis-Kali / self-defense fitness SOCAL (Artesia, CA) | Meetup

Sugod Kombatan Arnis - About | Facebook

Thank you,
Ilikesilat

Kombaton is a legitimate FMA. However, I cannot personally validate the leigitmacy of that particular group.

If I might ask, what are you looking for in an FMA? You are fortunate in that there are many good options in SoCal.

Cheers!
