THE STAND-UP SQUAD FIGHTING METHOD
Cali Combat Systems teaches four complete martial arts systems simultaneously — the same Phase Method Guro Dan Inosanto taught: all ranges, all weapons, all threats, from day one.
Fight Rhythm Jeet Kune Do — Bruce Lee's art as taught by his direct lineage: Chinatown JKD through Sifu Tim Tackett and his lineage, Contemporary JKD and Rapid Assault Tactics through Sifu Paul Vunak — the system trained by US Navy SEAL Team 6 — and the Jun Fan JKD Grappling Association through Sifu John Doty.
Kali-Silat Motion — the complete Southeast Asian Martial Arts curriculum: Inosanto-LaCoste Kali, Pekiti Tirsia Kali, DFA Kali-KunTao, Maphilindo Silat, Harimau Silat, KunTao Silat, and Panantukan (Filipino Dirty Boxing). Weapons from day one. Double stick, single stick, knife, karambit, espada y daga, dulo dulo, and beyond.
First 2 Fight Retzev Combatives — Israeli Krav Maga from five distinct lineages including the Wingate Institute / IDF certification authority. Rapid Assault Tactics. Street Safe. Active Shooter Response. Three Laws Safe Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics. Created For The Self Defense. Panantukan Dirty Boxing. Be first. Be aggressive. Do not stop.
Integrated Ground Fighting Systems — submission grappling and Combat JuJitsu from the Jun Fan JKD Grappling Association, Black Belt lineage through Gokor Chivichyan and Gene LeBell, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through the Carlson Gracie lineage, and KinaMutai — biting, eye attacks, and pressure points that make the ground game work when sport grappling doesn't.
Our program prepares you for the Four Main Realities of Self-Defense:
-
Weapons Tactics (Offense and Defense),
-
Stand-Up Kickboxing (including Trapping),
-
Integrated Grappling (Clinch & Ground),
-
and Multiple Opponents (Mass Attack).
PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS
Private and Semi-Private instruction in any CCS curriculum area — the fastest path to genuine competency in any of the four systems. JKD has traditionally been transmitted through private instruction, and private lessons are where the deepest, most personalized training happens.

“There isn’t any difference between Jeet Kune Do, Original Jeet Kune Do and Jeet Kune Do Concepts. Whatever you want to call it. It’s the same. To understand the JKD Concept, you have to be trained in the original JKD or Jeet Kune Do that Bruce Lee trained. As he says, JKD is a path to personal enlightenment.” - Dan Inosanto

FILTHY MMA
The CCS Phase Method is the six-phase, fifteen-level progressive curriculum through which all training at Cali Combat Systems is delivered — based on Guro Dan Inosanto's Phase Class methodology and organized around Bruce Lee's three stages of cultivation: the Primitive Stage, the Stage of Art, and the Stage of Artlessness.
All four systems are trained in every class, every session, from day one: Fight Rhythm JKD, Kali-Silat Motion, First 2 Fight Retzev Combatives, and Integrated Ground Fighting Systems. The goal of every class is Combat Flow — the ability to move seamlessly between all ranges, all systems, and all tools without pausing, resetting, or thinking. A weapon entry becomes a Panantukan combination becomes a Silat sweep becomes a KinaMutai finish. One flow. No seams.
Each class covers: Impact Weapons (single and double stick), Edged Weapons (knife), Sensitivity Drills (Wing Chun Chi Sao, Kali Hubud-Lubud, Dumog), Focus Mitt Drills (Jun Fan Kickboxing, Panantukan, Thai Boxing, Savate), Stand-Up (JKD Kickboxing, Panantukan, Muay Thai, Wing Chun), Grappling (Dumog, Silat, KinaMutai, Combat JuJitsu), and Self-Defense (Krav Maga holds, grabs, and weapon threats).
Phase 1 through Phase 3 are curriculum and knowledge based (Levels 1-12). Phase 4 is the Apprentice Instructor level (Level 13 — Active Shooter, Carjacking, Home Invasion, Law Enforcement Control Tactics). Phase 5 is the Full Instructor level (Level 14 — Military Combatives, Tubular Environments, Hostage Scenarios, Advanced Espada y Daga). Phase 6 is the Master Instructor level (Level 15 — VIP Protection, Terrorist Response, Israeli Shooting, Team Tactics).

KINAMUTAI: The asymmetric grappling system that makes size and strength irrelevant. Biting, eye attacks, and pressure point attacks — from the ground, from the clinch, from anywhere. Sport grappling has no answer for it. KinaMutai is taught in every phase of the CCS curriculum.
