Missing Link MMA

Missing Link MMA is a martial arts school located at 3285 W. Sussex Way in Fresno, California. Established in 1998 by Sifu Art Hugues, the academy provides realistic self-defense instruction rooted in Kajukenbo, Filipino martial arts, and stand-up striking systems. The school curriculum centers on Kajukenbo Emperado True Method, Cabales Serrada Escrima, and Combat Muay Thai, alongside Hugues personal close-quarter expression known as Durazo CQC. Lineage affiliations trace to Grandmaster Ramiro Estalilla Jr. of Kabaroan Eskrima, Grandmaster J.C. Cabiero, and Kajukenbo advisor Senior Grandmaster Rick Kinji. Weekday classes provide a progressive mix of empty-hand striking, stick and blade defenses, and kickboxing cardio. The weekly schedule features evening Kajukenbo and Combat Kickboxing sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, Cabales Serrada Escrima on Wednesday evenings, and open Kaju Cardio workouts on Saturday mornings.
