Black Flag Martial Arts

[emattson]

I occasionally hear about the Black Flag martial arts during the daily morning exercise classes and gotten curious about it. To me, the name brought up memories of Black Flag, a gritty, stark, violent, and American hardcore punk rock band my high school peers love. During wars or piracy, a black flag may be raised to state that they will fight to the death, neither give mercy nor expect mercy. It's a scary symbol, perfect sign for the most aggressive, vicious form of martial arts you can get. Many fighting groups have the name, "Black Flag" so it will be difficult to research the family history. Here are the groups:
