Their interactive workshop will look at ways to recycle things once thought of as trash into something new and useful.

For the first time ever, Pacific Media Expo (PMX) will be hosting a seminar on the American hybrid martial art of Kajukenbo. Developed in the late 1940s in the Palama settlement of Oahu, Hawaii, it is the fusion of the various systems present in that settlement of that time: Karate (KA), Judo (JU), Kenpo (KEN), and Boxing (BO). We are honored to have Professor Yutthana Tokijkla or Chief Toki, an 8th degree professor with 40 years of martial arts experience to introduce newcomers to this martial art. Chief Toki has experience in professional kickboxing and over 50 "Fight Club" types of fights. As the founder of Fighting Island Traditions, he pays homage to the systems and lineage that his fighting style has evolved from. He is currently based in San Bernardino, but presents and shares his martial art nationally. The workshop will be held Saturday, September 5 from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. in Live Programming 2 (PCC Plaza Level Room 211).

Filipino Boxing, also known as Panantukan, Mano Mano, Pangamut, and Suntukan is a no nonsense self defense system derived from the movements of weaponry from the Filipino Martial Arts. Dirty Boxing, as it is commonly called, utilizes punches, kicks, elbows, knees, head butts, and other physical weapons in a wide array of combative combinations. Showcased in Hollywood films such as: The Bourne Identity Trilogy, Chronicles of Riddick, Quantum of Solace, and Equilibrium, this art of fist fighting is not used for sport, but as a means of street-oriented fighting. Its main intent is to end any unwanted physical conflict as quickly as possible. Mark Gonzales is an assistant instructor under Professor Steve del Castillo at Mt. San Antonio College, where they offer college credit courses on a variety of martial arts such as Brazilian Jiujitsu, Filipino Martial Arts, Kickboxing, etc. A community education course on Filipino Boxing is also offered where Mark runs the class every so often. The workshop will be held Saturday, September 5 from 3:00 until 5:00 p.m. in Live Programming 2 (PCC Plaza Level Room 211).
