Filipino Martial Arts - KALI
The Filipino martial arts reflect the multi-racial society from which they come. Kali is a blend of an uncountable number of individual styles and systems, developed over several centuries. The principles of combat are based on understanding angles of attack and defence - so it makes little difference whether your opponent is empty-handed or carries a weapon.
You can train in Kali for self-defence, competition, fitness and co-ordination, or just for fun. Kali can be studied by young, old, able-bodied and people with disabilities. Classes include training with sticks and other weaponry, as well as empty-hand training.

We offer training in Filipino Kali on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Classes start at 7.30pm, finish at 8.45pm, and are followed by Multi-discipline Martial Arts classes on both nights. Beginners are welcome at all of these classes.
