Kali Club Program
Kali, also referred to as Escrima or Arnis de Mano (harness of the hand), is a Filipino Martial Art that focuses on stick, sword, and knife fighting. The aim of Kali is to utilize whatever weapon an individual has on hand to debilitate the assailant/assailants. Though the techniques are simple and effective, the underlying principles of the system are more complex and intricate allowing for continued growth and understanding of self-defense scenarios with the incorporation of weapons. In Kali, the training is done with rattans (bamboo sticks), tanto blades (training knives), and swords. At the Tomekichi Martial Arts Academy there is a premium placed on both being effective with the techniques of Kali, as well as, developing physical fitness, self-discipline, confidence, and an understanding of the principles of Kali to better the individual/individuals in their daily lives.
