Kali Sikaran is a Filipino Martial Art that
combines techniques from other Philippine martial arts such as Panuntukan,
Sikaran,
Kadena De Mano
and Dumog. By
practicing and enhancing these techniques, it teaches students to adapt to
any kind of situation. Kali Sikaran helps an individual develop speed,
coordination, stamina, strength and reflexes that improve self-defense and
fighting skills.One of the most prominent Kali Sikaran martial artists is
Dan
Inosanto who also trained under the legendary Bruce Lee
The training concepts of Kali
Sikaran are unique to the system. They are based on Panantukan (Filipino
Boxing), Sikaran
(Filipino Kickboxing), Stick fighting, Daga (Knife Fighting Training),
Kadena De Mano
(Close Quarters Range) and Dumog
(Grappling). In Kali Sikaran these concepts are woven together into a
complete and very effective fighting system. Any improvement in one aspect
of the system will accelerate change and immediately enhance another. In a
combination of empty hand training and weapons training, the practitioner
will develop agility, balance, coordination, dexterity, endurance,
flexibility, reflexes, speed, and strength that support both defensive and
offensive fighting skills. The Kali Sikaran practitioner is trained to be
able to adapt to any given situation.
