Hip Hop Martial Arts

Below this post is the verbaige from Aurora’s original blog-post and we are extremely grateful for the shout out! In The Flow Studios has been an amazingly supportive arts and humanities organization that HHMA has been honored to be a part of. From the early artist open houses to the ITFS classes and business location, HHMA has been under the ITFS umbrella from day 1 and we look forward to many more years of inspired events, creations, causes and much much more. Thank you Aurora & ITFS, thank you readers, and thank you friends and family!

Your viewership/readership is appreciated and we hope to connect again soon either in person or thru our upcoming posts & content. Best wishes to you all!

Happy Holidays with HHMA

ITFS is excited to share that Hip Hop Martial Arts (HHMA) has released their 2024 holiday line. Whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or the winter solstice HHMA has something special for you. 

Kadante Ferrer established Hip Hop Martial Arts in 2010 to express and share his love of all things Hip Hop, Martial arts, Music, Movement, Performance, and the fusion of it all. HHMA has grown and evolved from its inception 14 years ago and has become a space for inclusion and inspiration where anyone no matter their; religion, race, gender, orientation or age, will be able to find something that they can appreciate or identify with.

When we asked Kadante where he found his motivation for HHMA’s designs he said “Being that I am multi-racial and multicultural, a great many of HHMA’s designs are inspired by the beautiful practice of multiculturalism. A practice, in my opinion, that enriches every community that embraces it.”

The early days of HHMA were mostly focused on teaching, performing, choreographing and producing concept films. But over time it has grown in scope and in community. Today HHMA still embraces its roots but like a tree it has branched out to include The UrbMonk Philosophy, “An UrbMonk is a being that represents the philosophy of using modern arts and tools to help find harmony in our fast-paced lives. It is the search for a monk-like center in a futuristic world or the process of becoming the eye of the storm in every situation.” HHMA takes its cue from the age of enlightenment, The Tao as well as contemporary philosophers, poets and humanists. 

As a producer, choreographer, designer and content creator, Kadante is committed to sharing the HHMA message with a global audience hoping to not only to inspire others but also to foster a global community that embraces safe, supportive and creative spaces.  Or as Kadante says, “Safe spaces for all faces”. He often says, “when the shadows in our lives feel the darkest, that’s when we need to lean into our light the most”. HHMA’s Illuminate video expresses that sentiment beautifully. LINK HERE 

HHMA and Kadante have been enthusiastic supporters of In the Flow Studios from day one. They have performed at our Arts Open Houses and Fundraisers since 2009 and have worked with us to raise awareness and funds for important causes like women and children survivors of war, animal rescue and conservation, childhood leukemia, International Women’s Day, food-banks and homelessness. Most recently they are collaborating with us to help end domestic violence and child abuse. 

We hope you’ll check out the HHMA website & shop and be inspired to follow on your preferred social media so that you too can become part of the HHMA community!

Thank you for visiting. May inspiration overflow throughout all of your creative processes.
