Where did FALCON come from?
Though the organization was officially founded in 2005, the history and lineage of FALCON precedes for several decades.
As a combat science system, FALCON is the brainchild of Executive Founder Pete Villanueva, who is a highly ranked, certified instructor in seven martial arts systems.
More than 70 martial arts and combat systems were studied extensively and distilled into FALCON. Study and training came from the grandmasters, experts and founders of these arts through closed-door training.
Among the major component systems are:
FALCON is a truly global martial system.
It is also a living system.
FALCON development continues through the Development Council, comprised of martial arts experts, grandmasters, founders, and appointed system developers in ongoing analysis of martial arts, military methods, survival studies, performance training and sciences. Collectively, the Development Council has over 400 years of experience.
To date, there are more than 200 FALCONs of various level around the world primarily in North America and Asia.
