What are Filipino martial arts?
Filipino Martial arts, often referred to as Kali, Escrima, or Arnis, encompasses one of the most practical and effective weapons-based martial arts globally. In unarmed combat, Kali utilizes nerve disruptions, limb and bone attacks, alongside low-line kicks, elbow, and knee strikes. Our Kuntaw Kali system is enhanced with empty hand techniques from other Filipino martial arts, combined with joint locks, seizing, and throwing techniques from Comjukai (Combat Judo Karate Aikido). Kali Kuntaw continuously evolves to prepare our students for various scenarios they may face in a street confrontation.
Founded in 1993 by Professor Rico Acosta, Kuntaw Kali Kruzada is a martial arts system that emphasizes both armed (blunt and edged weapons) and unarmed self-defense. The aim of Kuntaw Kali Kruzada is to make training as realistic as possible, incorporating the speed and aggression of actual attacks, along with unexpected angles of attack. The Kuntaw Kali Kruzada system instructs on the use of weapons, including single stick, double stick, stick and dagger, as well as bladed weaponry.
