A Filipino Martial Art System

Kali-Silat is a Filipino Martial Art over 1200 years old. It is tried and tested on the battlefield and is believed to be the art that killed Magellan and his warriors when he landed in the Philippines. Kali incorporates empty hand and weaponry as well as specialized sections on Dumog (grappling and moving the body), Panatukan (Filipino boxing), Panajakman or Sikaran(Filipino low-level kicking) and flow / energy drills such as Hubud and Kunci (locks and manipulations). The style of Kali-Silat we teach is a combination of Pekiti-Tirsia, Dekiti-Tirisia-Siradas, Doce Pares and Pencak Silat Pangian Lankah Empat. The result is the art and science we call "SinaTirsiaWali".

Categories of training include:

• Single Stick (64 Attacks)
• Double Stick (155 Strikes)
• Empty Hand vs. Knife (Knife Tapping)
• Knife vs. Knife (Sak Sak and Pakal)
• Stick and Knife (Espada y Daga)
• Double Knife (SinaTirsiaWali Concepts)
• Empty Hands (Panatukan, Sikaran, Dumog, Kuncian)
• Footwork (Sidestepping, Triangle, Square, Spinning Star, etc)

The basis for the single stick or sword are the original 64 Attacks of Pekiti-Tirsia and Close Quarter Drills of Dekiti-Tirsia-Siradas.

64 Attacks:

• 1 - 12      "Abcedario" or Letters - 12 Attacks, Survival Abcedario of Tortal family.
• 13 - 22    "Four Walls" or Tapi Tapi, unrestricted drill, combined with sub drills and  basic entry techniques.
• 23 - 25    "Payong" or Umbrella, fluid entry techniques.
• 26 - 31    "Dakup and Punyo" meaning thrust, catch and punch.
• 32 - 36    "Limang Sugod" or 5 Basic Attacks, diagonal attacks, entries, counter to counter drills.
• 37 - 43    "Pasok Lo'ob-Pasok Labas", Close Concepts / Invasion taught with thrusting on 9 and 10 and "Segang Labo" Close Quarter / Invasion drill for disarms, traps and takedowns. 
• 44 - 50    "Pitong Sugod" or 7 Attacks, developed for police and security personnel, control, levers and off balancing techniques.
• 51 - 64    "Orassan" Clock System, Entries and baits w/ double force - witiks - or flat of the blade strikes. Also called the Meridian System.

The Basic 12 Attacks of the single stick can also be converted into many knife and empty hand applications. Everything in the system is drawn from the basic concept of "Sinawali" (to weave) or "SinaTirsiaWali" to weave up close. There are 155 Sinawali movements taught in a fluid sequence with the double sticks. The movements are practiced both solo and with a training partner. These movements combined with cooperative and uncooperative drills enhance the students speed, timing, sensitivity and power to create the ultimate Kali-Silat Warrior. Proper mindset, breathing and internal training round out this program to create the perfect balance of peace and power within the Kali-Silat Warrior...
