| KALI / SILAT |
In the Philippines, combat training
methods developed to a level of efficiency unsurpassed anywhere
in the world. There are over 7,000 islands in the Philippine archipelago
with over 78 major languages spoken. The Filipino Martial Arts are
as diverse as the islands themselves.
Kali, Escrima, Arnis and Silat are just a few of the many names used
to describe the Filipino Martial Arts. These arts encompass an entire
spectrum of weaponry and also feature sophisticated empty hands including
boxing, trapping and grappling. Under constant siege by the Spanish,
the Southern Philippines remained unconquered for nearly 400 years
due to the efficiency of the deadly and combat-proven martial arts
of this region.
Unlike most martial art systems, both weaponry and empty hands
are taught together because the principles are common to both and
are inter-changeable. Armed or unarmed, the student learns to relate
to any situation using the same concepts of body angling, positioning
and flowing. Depending on speed, footwork and skill rather than
brute strength, this fluid and practical method of self-defense
is one of the most comprehensive martial art systems known. |

| THAI KICKBOXING |
Known as the king of the ring, Thai Boxing is the
national sport of Thailand. Thai Boxing or Muay Thai includes kicking
and punching as well as devastating elbow and knee strikes. For this
reason, Muay Thai is sometimes called the science of the eight limbs.
Muay Thai is one of the best sports for physical conditioning. It
is also known for having the strongest kick in the martial arts. Thai
boxing students learn to move fluently between kicking, punching,
knee, elbow and clinching ranges.
Whether your goal is to compete, to gain some practical
self-defense skills, to become an instructor in Muay Thai, or
just to become fit, Northwest kali/JKD can help you to reach your
goals.
