In 2022 I am teaching a Silat & Kali class at the park in Fresno. Elements of Hapkido are also mixed in. It’s a highly effective art for self defense.

See the Schedule and Location page for details.

Silat is the art of Indonesia and Malaysia. It is a brutally effective close-quarters fighting art.

Kali is a Filipino fighting art that specializes in knife, machete and short sword combat. All fighting ranges are taught, but special attention is given to long range and close-quarters combat. It is a comprehensive fighting art that deals with all elements of blade combat.

Hapkido is a Korean style specalizing in joint locks and throws, and striking techniques.

Much of our training is done with sticks and training knives. We also sometimes use aluminum training machetes and training swords. Every session will include knife or stick sparring. Students wear protective gear such as goggles, hockey gloves and helmets when appropriate.
