Filipino Kali, Northern Shaolin Kung Fu & Chinese Kuntao are very rare arts, so many people who wish to learn it cannot find schools in their cities that are able to teach the techniques. Others may want to learn but cannot commit to regimented time periods each week. There are 3 separate certifications offered at this time, Filipino Kali, Northern Shaolin and Harmonious Fist Kuntao (Chinese).
Personal instruction is the best way to train, but our methods and instructional videos allow students not living near one of our schools to progress from beginner to black sash at their own pace. Sifu/Guro David clearly and concisely explains the proper warm-ups, techniques, forms, and theory.
Each level of mastery is demonstrated on high-quality DVD’s by Sifu/Guro David and his students. We recommend that you take this course with a friend. It helps to have a workout buddy to practice techniques on, spar with, and share ideas. It's also more economical because you can share the cost of the videos.
Sifu/Guro David is available by email to answer any questions or to further explain techniques. Students must record themselves performing the requirements for each level and mail their video (or put them on You Tube) to Sifu/Guro David, who will then grade the students' performance, assess their skills, and provide feedback. Students that successfully complete a level of training receive a certificate and belt/sash, which states their current ranked status.

Guro Seiwert,
I read with great interest that Kali phase 3 is ready. I have phase 1&2 already and am enjoying the study of the system. There is a lot of great information I am picking up. I would like to order 3 before you head for the Philippines. If this is too short a notice I will order anyway. The info is worth waiting for. Hope to hear from you soon - have a great trip.
