With the ever-growing violence on the streets of Australia today and the rise of crime and theft involving weapons, this progressive style of Martial Art becomes increasingly more important in today’s society. Kali Self Defence is a form of Filipino stick & knife fighting combined with the powerful skills and fitness of Muay Thai Kickboxing. Kali teaches us the etiquette, dangers and legalities involved with a wide range of weapons and combative situations. This dynamic yet graceful flowing art will show even the smallest of defendants how to safely and easily avoid or disarm an attacker with little or no effort. Suited for women and men alike, the fitness and confidence gained through the set drills and techniques of training will inspire and excite all.
Kali Self Defence classes incorporate tactics and strategies from world-renowned disciplines. These training concepts are composed of several sub-systems:
Best known by the Martial Arts community for the extensive combat use of sticks or machetes by the Filipino Warrior (Mandirigma). Stick fighting training is important in the development of empty hand skills. Any development in stick training leads to an immediate improvement in appropriate body position, distance from an opponent and the empty hand aspects of Kali.
A form of blunt forced weapons and sword training. Usually performed with a rattan stick aimed at familiarising students with blade orientation and improvised weapons.
A knife fighting defence system, known as a specialty of the Filipino Martial Arts. Filipino knife fighting techniques have influenced Police and Military Knife Defence Strategies all over the World.
A close range form of sword fighting developed in the Philippines. Traditionally used with a long and short sword or daga, the progressive techniques taught in our Kali system are interchangeable with many empty hand applications.
By using hands, elbows, head butts and knees in training, the flow of this technique is very important. Kadena De Mano is a realistic method of Self Defence when there is no space to move and no way to escape. The methodology is to crash the line of attack.
Another extension of our Kali Self Defence curriculum. Range and positioning is very important when confronted with a long weapon. Bankow teaches hand positioning, flow, range, distance and angles while developing the dexterity required to wield largo weapons.
Includes throws, takedowns, immobilisation and submission. Learning to react in a ground situation is a very important aspect of any system of Self Defence.
An integrated system of fighting developed in and around Indonesia and Malaysia that includes street fighting and other overkill strategies.
With ongoing curriculum development and tuition through regular training, seminars, workshops, training camps and international instructors, you will discover the traditional fighting methods of the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
Kali Self Defence will share with you the discipline, honour and respect required from a traditional martial art, blended perfectly with today’s training methodology to give you the best, most progressive and effective Modern Martial Art to date.
