FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS - KALI
Kali is an ancient word that serves as an umbrella term for all the Filipino martial arts. The word itself translates as the study of "Body Motion". Although the base of the system is in weaponry, its empty hand systems feature some of the most sophisticated techniques and training methods in existence. The weaponry training covers a wide spectrum featuring stick, blade and knife as well as flexible weapons and weapons of opportunity. Weaponry training in our Kali classes emphasizes safety first. Movements are broken down into easily learned segments. You will be given the ability to perform techniques such as counters, disarms, sweeps and locks in flow.
Kali is famous for its flow drills that are both fun and give a real feel for the movement and speed of combat. Kali, like its modern cousin JKD., is an interpretive art. This means that each student will come out of the training slightly different.
Our study of the body involves the combative motions and their applications. The training is safe, exciting and practical. Other benefits include:
- Classes are intellectually and physically stimulating to the martial artist at any level.
- Personal exploration and discovery, coordination, balance, self defense, health and fitness are just a few benefits of this beautiful and functional art.
- Appropriate for students of all ages and abilities.
