Wednesday nights with a guest instructor, Maestro Rich Acosta
Kuntaw Kali Kruzada is a traditional system of Filipino martial arts that prides itself in our connection to the Philippines, staying true to our cultural roots by propagating the FMA as they are taught in the Philippines.
The Kuntaw Kali Kruzada curriculum has been designed to provide beginners and advanced practitioners alike with a complete set of armed and unarmed self-defense skills, treating every scenario as a possible encounter involving multiple attackers.
Our goal is to enable our students to training reflexively in un-patterned freestyle drills where the feeder attacks from random angles. This can be practiced with single stick, double stick, stick and dagger, empty hand, knife against empty hand, knife to knife and in multiple attack scenarios both armed and unarmed.
Many students that have studied with us have had to use what they have learned to defend themselves and others. Our students have successfully defended themselves in knife attacks, bar fights, mugging / car-jacking attempts and mass attacks using the Filipino Martial Arts.
