KALI SILAT

"THE SYSTEM" 

What I do, is train in several methods of Martial Arts. The backbone is the Filipino and Indonesian Arts. I use a very loose class format. But, there is a structure. I share Filipino, Indonesian, & Chinese, to name a few of the methods. And, when the individual is ready, I  blend the student with other students, to bring about the reality of a stranger. The feel of a different person can easily throw you off. This is why I like  to teach "concepts" based on principles. I share many ways to understand motion as well as timing and ryhthm. If one learns the  principles, one can make many effective techniques  from just 1 principle. they are simply far  more  versitile in any  physical  encounter.

The Knife is the back bone of the Filipino and  Indonesian arts, as well as that of Progressive Kali Silat. From the knife, all hand motion is cultivated. We never want to have to use a knife, but we need the muscle memory that it leaves in our limbs from training with them for speed and accuacy. Speed and accuracy is a hallmark of  Progressive Kali Silat. I do not believe in using a cannon ball when a whip would be a better choice of tools. The movement from using weapons in your training is refined to a much greater level. leaving its motion literaly in the "hands" of the practitioner.

If you feel you are not learning how to protect yourself and your loved ones, you can quit at any time because there is "no" student contract. You should know if it will work for you in the first class. This is not M.M.A.! This is a non-sport, street wise, "user" friendly, and  practical self-defense method that I have distilled from 40 years of classes, and seminars, from Top Instructor's Like Sifu/Guro Dan Timlin, Dan Inosanto, Larry Hartsell, Chris Kent, Cass Magda, Nino Bernardo and Many others, as well as training with my students one on one & one on multiples. I am blessed with a job that pays for my living as a pressman, so I do not charge due's.  I want to "share" the art and I share it for free. So those who can get out to the barn can train at a low cost. Basically, the only cost is for sticks (rattan), a guide book, safty gear, and a sarong; that is about it. Donations are welcome for the L.P. in the winter for heat. It takes about 2 to 3 years to get through the course. You have nothing to lose and a persenal method of self-defense and self -discovery to gain.  I do private classes, as well as groups. If your looking for a small class this school might be for you. Please, come on out and give my class a try.
