Kali is an ancient martial art of the Philippines dating back to the ninth century. Kali is one of the most comprehensive martial art systems available. Encompassing an entire spectrum of weaponry, Kali also features sophisticated "empty hands" techniques, kicks, knees, sweeps, throws and joint locking techniques.

Developed by a woman, a nun, and one of the five Grand Masters of the famous Shaolin Temple in China, Wing Chun is a highly regarded martial art that has been handed down through generations of Kung-Fu practitioners. Wing Chun stresses a strong foundation, agile footwork, economy of motion, and deflection of the attacker's power. It is highly effective, can be used in today's modern society, and is based on a straight-forward, no-nonsense approach to achieving results quickly and proficiently.
