Led by Guro William Laureano, this class focues on teachings from the Philippeans, both with a weapon and "open hand". This class is open to all students, as its principles are applicable to the foundation of every self-defense and combative system that we teach.
Open to all students, this class is based on the ancient fighting systems of the Philippines. Under the guidance of Guro William Laureano, you will learn the foundations of Filipino boxing (Panantukan), kicking (Sikaran), and grappling (Dumog). Kali/Silat/Escrima covers both weapon-based and open hand (no weapon) fighting. This unique system incorporates body movements and techniques that tie into all of the other classes at Elite Training Center, from kickboxing to MMA and Krav Maga.
