1. Kali is a practical self-defense system born from the ancient combative arts of the Philippines.

Kali is a combative system that finds its roots among the warring tribes of the Philippines. In its modern form it is a practical self-defense system that teaches practitioners versatile skill sets that allow them to defend themselves with any weapon (stick, knife, empty hand and flexible weapons).

2. Kali is efficient and easy to learn. Kali is taught in a drill based methodology, providing repetitive exposure and application of techniques and their principles.

3. Kali is movement-based training and therefore it is a great way to stay in shape. Because you are constantly moving during kali training you inadvertently burn lots of calories.

The anthem of our Kali training is, “Movement is Life.” Because Kali is primarily a weapons based system it is important for practitioners to learn how to range and move properly to avoid their opponents weapons and counter-attack. This requires repetitive training in concepts of strategic movement. The best way of ingraining these lessons into the body is to do them and as a bi-product of consistent movement Kali practitioners enjoy increase in their overall health and weight management.

4. Kali consistently works both sides of your brain and body, which enhances coordination agility.

5. Kali teaches you adaptable skills that will give you the flexibility and freedom to use multiple means of defending yourself.

Kali is one of the only systems that starts practitioners learning with a weapon and digresses to empty hand combat. This type of training truly hones the combat spirit and combative understanding of strategy, timing and distancing. Created as an art to teach members of the tribe how to protect the tribe in a limited amount of time, Kali stresses adaptability and versatility in weapons use and mindset.
