Hey Happy New Year guys. Im gonna start Kali soon and I want to know what consists of Kali and what I will be seeing THanks
Inosanto/LaCoste Kali I think. He's going to start classes at Andersons in NYC. http://www.andersonsmartialarts.com
Yes What Yoda said is this in affective Ma what weapons will I be dealing with and is there a belk ranks
mainly single or double stick (+-70cm), but sticks of other lenghts are also dealt with. you'll also use knives and probably also other bladed weapens
There's a good chance your Kali training will be designed to enhance your unarmed fighting attributes rather than actually teach you to fight well with weapons.
What style of Kali Inosanto Blend. Do a search on Ebay.com for "Dan Inosanto" buy Vol. 1 of Danny Inosanto's "Filipino Martial Arts" tapes series. They're usually available for around $20, including s/h. This is an overview tape and will give you a good idea of what the system looks like. I met Danny Anderson a few years ago in NYC and he's a nice guy. I believe that he studied with Terry Gibson in the Midwest, and also more recently with Dong Cuesta (Doce Pares) and Billy McGrath (Pekiti Tirsia Arnis). Best, Steve Lamade
