KALI SIKARAN
Self-defence with Confidence
Learn Kali Sikaran - Practical Self-Defence for Everyday People
Practical self-defence training in a friendly, ego-free environment that welcomes anyone aged 14+ — including safe training with traditional Filipino weapons.
What is Kali Sikaran?
Kali Sikaran is a modern system of Filipino martial arts that blends empty-hand skills, weapon training and practical self-defence into one clear framework. It comes from the traditional fighting arts of the Philippines and South-East Asia, adapted for everyday people who want real self-defence skills, awareness, timing and the confidence to remain calm under pressure.
The style is built around six core components, covering both weapons and empty-hand work:
Double stick – coordination, timing and power using two sticks
Single stick – focus, distance control and strong basics with one impact weapon
Knife defence – awareness and strategies for dealing with edged weapons
Close-quarter hand work (Kadena de Mano) – short-range strikes, traps and flow
Filipino boxing (Panantukan) – practical striking for self-defence (and a great way to stay fit!)
Filipino kickboxing (Sikaran) – balanced footwork, kicking and movement
Kali Sikaran has a well-structured program (phases) to ensure that our system is taught progressively and safely, starting with foundations. As you grow, the pieces connect into a flowing, adaptable system you can use under pressure — whether you’re training empty-hand or with weapons.
You Don't Need To Be Fit.
You Don't Need Experience.
Kali Sikaran is designed for everyday people — not competition fighters.

I've trained at a number of martial arts schools over the years, but nothing has come close to Kali Sikaran.
The training is challenging, practical and a lot of fun. But, what really sets it apart is the people. You don't just learn practical self-defence, you also build confidence, fitness and life skills in a genuinely supportive community.
There aren't many places that offer a combination like that.
