Staff.

This is an eclectic form of Filipino stick fighting and self defense that evolved as a means of preservation in the hostile environment of the Jungles of the Philippines. Having roots in the 9th century, this is one martial art that truly equalizes your chances of survival in even the most dangerous circumstances, yet is also an amazing method of increasing your coordination and fitness, keeping both your mind and your body SHARP! Kali/Escrima addresses empty hand and kicking, grappling, and tools of the jungle warrior. Kevin Seaman has studied with many of the leading exponents of this amazing Martial Art for nearly 30 years now. His skill in this art made him a regional, National and World Champion, competing Full Contact in the Orient in 1992.
