OUR MAIN STYLES
At this stage, the following styles are represented within the Kali Filipino Martial Arts Association of Western Australia:
Kali Sikaran Australia
Kali Sikaran is a dynamic Filipino martial art that blends practical self-defense techniques with physical fitness. Rooted in the rich traditions of the Philippines, it combines weapon-based skills (sticks, knives, and improvised weapons) with empty-hand techniques, including Filipino boxing (Panantukan), kickboxing (Sikaran), and close-quarter combat (Kadena de Mano). Its emphasis on adaptability and flow makes it effective for real-world self-defense scenarios.
Kali 3 Dimensional
Kali 3D is a reality-based Filipino martial art founded by Grand Master Andy Elliott, evolving from Kombatan Arnis Presas Style. It integrates practical self-defense techniques with Multi-Dimensional Warriors (MDW) combatives, emphasizing functional combat skills for real-world scenarios. Kali 3D focuses on the "flow," blending weapon-based (sticks, knives, swords) and empty-hand techniques (strikes, grappling, trapping) across 12 angles of attack and defense.
Kombatan Presas Style
Kombatan Presas Style is a Filipino martial arts system founded by Great Grandmaster Ernesto Amador Presas Sr. in the 1990s, evolving from Modern Arnis. It blends classical and modern Filipino fighting styles, including double stick techniques, blade work, and empty-hand combat like Mano Mano. Known for its practical, instinctive approach, Kombatan emphasizes fluid transitions across all fighting ranges—long, medium, and short—using weapons and hand-to-hand techniques.
Filipino Combat Systems
Filipino Combat Systems (FCS), founded by Tuhon Ray Dionaldo, is a dynamic and practical martial art rooted in the rich traditions of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA). FCS blends ancient fighting methods with modern techniques, emphasizing adaptability, efficiency, and real-world self-defense. It integrates armed and unarmed combat, focusing on weapons like sticks, knives, and the karambit, alongside empty-hand techniques.
