KALI IN MUMBAI

Filipino Kali is a style specific to Filipino Martial Arts. Kali was founded in 1897. Kali is strictly a combat-oriented system, as opposed to sport-focused, style. It is a fighting system that focuses on edged, impact and improvised weapons. Kali has been adopted as the preferred combative training program by elite military and law enforcement units around the world.

All fighting ranges are integral parts of Kali, but special attention is given to closing in to kill in close-quarter combat. Integral to this is a coiled close quarter stance that allows evasion and generation of a powerful strike even in close range. Kali is about quartering the opponent, or 'cutting up into little pieces', emphasizing destruction with counter offence while not getting hit. Kali methodology originates from offensive and counter offensive principles against attacks from all ranges, angles and threat levels. There is less emphasis on purely defensive techniques per se, as this is not seen as an effective survival strategy.
