A long time Kali practitioner and instructor now in Moscow!
I am looking for one or two adults that want to learn and train in authentic Filipino blade arts to train. I have trained actively in Kali/Escrima/Arnis for over 20 years.
What is Kali? Kali is a weapons/blade based martial art from the Philippines and South East Asia.
What will you learn - from beginner level to competition level. We do full contact sparring (similar to the Dog Brothers). Full contact stick sparring isn't for everyone and is not required to train in this art. Most classes involves drilling various techniques.
We train in:
Single stick
Double Stick
Stick and dagger
Bolo (machete)
Dagger
Heavy Stick
Weapons Disarms
Empty hands
What's Kali training like?
Kali doesn't require wearing a gi. Wear comfortable workout clothes with athletic shoes.
We train with rattan sticks and a variety of blade 'trainers' for safety.
Fundamental training includes drills of various footwork, checking, striking, blocking, and counter striking drills.
Learn techniques that cover timing for early, middle, late.
Learn long range, middle range and short range tactics and techniques.
Learn offensive and defensive tactics; learn to manage timing and distance, positions, and angles.
This is a devastating martial arts that is practical and highly effective.
