WHAT IS KALI-SILAT MOTION?

Before there were guns, before there were armies, before there were rules of engagement — there were the warriors of the Philippine archipelago and the islands of Southeast Asia. And they were devastating.

​

Kali-Silat Motion is the Southeast Asian Martial Arts (SEAMA) program at Cali Combat Systems. It is a comprehensive, lineage-grounded curriculum that integrates the full spectrum of Filipino and Indonesian combat systems: Kali, Eskrima, and Arnis from the Philippines — and Silat and KunTao from Indonesia and the Malay Archipelago — unified under the teaching methodology of Guro Dan Inosanto and refined through decades of real-world application, full contact stick fighting, and professional security work.

​

This is not a sport program. It is not a cultural performance. It is a complete weapons-to-empty-hands fighting system — one of the most sophisticated and battle-tested in the world — and at Cali Combat Systems, you learn it from an instructor who has trained under the best lineage holders alive and tested it where it counts.

​

Kali means the study of body motion. Silat means to move. At their intersection, you find one of the most fluid, efficient, and devastatingly effective approaches to real-world combat on earth. This is Kali-Silat Motion at CCS.

​

THE LINEAGE: FROM THE ISLANDS TO YOUR HANDS

Every weapon technique, every empty-hand entry, every sweep, every disarm, every flow drill in the Kali-Silat Motion curriculum traces directly to a living lineage of master instructors who received these arts from the source.

​

At the center of that lineage is Guro Dan Inosanto — Bruce Lee's closest student, the foremost authority on Filipino and Southeast Asian martial arts in the Western world, and the man who has devoted his life to preserving and transmitting these arts with both historical fidelity and practical effectiveness. Through the Inosanto Academy of Martial Arts (IAMA) in Marina Del Rey, he has trained generations of the finest instructors on earth.

​

The lineage behind the Kali-Silat Motion curriculum at CCS:

Kali / Eskrima / Arnis: Grand Masters Antonio Ilustrisimo, Edgar Sulite, Leo Giron, and Johnny LaCoste → Guro Dan Inosanto → Guro Paul Vunak, Guro Burton Richardson, Guro Daniel Sullivan → Guro Jeramiah Giehl

Pekiti Tirsia Kali: Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje → Guro Dan Inosanto, Tuhon Apolo Ladra → Guro Jeramiah Giehl

KunTao Silat / Maphilindo Silat / Mixed Silat: Herman Suwanda, Edgar Sulite, and masters of the Majapahit tradition → Guro Dan Inosanto, Guro Burton Richardson → Guro Jeramiah Giehl

DFA Kali-KunTao: Guro David Seiwert → Guro Jeramiah Giehl (Certified in Single Stick, Double Stick, Knife Defense, and Knife Offense)

This is the lineage behind every class, every private session, and every seminar offered under the Kali-Silat Motion program.

Full Contact Stick Fighting: ​Guro Jeramiah is not just a practitioner — he is a full contact stick fighter. He has put his Kali training on the line in live sparring environments where the sticks are real, the contact is real, and the pressure reveals what works and what does not. This experience is irreplaceable. It is the difference between drilling beautiful patterns and knowing how to deliver and absorb real impact with a weapon in your hand. That full contact experience informs every stick drill, every flow sequence, and every weapons defense we teach. When you learn to defang the snake at CCS, you are learning from an instructor who has been hit with a stick and has hit back.

THE ARTS: WHAT WE TEACH

THE PHILIPPINE ARTS: KALI, ESKRIMA, ARNIS

Kali, Eskrima, and Arnis are the three most common names for the indigenous martial arts of the Philippines — and at Cali Combat Systems, we honor all three traditions. The name Kali translates to the study of "body motion." Eskrima means to skirmish. Arnis comes from arnes de mano — armor of the hand. Same art, same roots, different regional names for the same devastatingly effective weapons-based combat system.

​

What makes Filipino Martial Arts categorically different from almost every other martial art on earth:

Weapons First. Unlike the vast majority of martial arts that introduce weapons as an afterthought at advanced levels, FMA introduces weapons on day one. The logic is airtight: in the real world, most violent confrontations involve weapons. Training weapons from the beginning builds muscle memory that matters. And crucially — the weapon movements and the empty-hand movements share the same angles, footwork, and body mechanics. Learning the stick teaches you the punch. Learning the knife teaches you the open hand. One set of principles, endlessly applicable.​

The Third Hand Principle. Every FMA technique involves the live hand — the free hand not holding the weapon — as an active tool. Trapping, controlling, disarming, blocking, striking simultaneously. The live hand is never passive. This creates a two-weapon system even in "empty-hand" fighting.

Defanging the Snake. Rather than chasing the body, FMA targets the weapon. Attack the opponent's weapon hand — the "snake" — and you remove their ability to harm you before dealing with the body. This principle applies to sticks, knives, and empty hands equally.

Offense, Counter, Recounter — the OCR Game Plan. FMA teaches you to think at least three moves ahead. For every attack, you train the counter. For every counter, you train the recounter. This is not reactive fighting — it is proactive combat that plays chess while the opponent plays checkers.

COMBAT — Counter On Motion Before Attack Time. The principle of interception built into Kali: attack before the opponent's attack has fully developed. Hit the hand that is about to hit you. Defang before you are bitten.

​

The weapons curriculum at CCS covers three impact ranges — Corto (close), Medio (medium), Largo (long) — and trains sticks, blades, knives, flexible weapons, and improvised tools. The weaponry includes:

Single stick, double stick, stick and knife, knife alone, long blade, short blade, flexible weapons (sarong, bandanna, belt), improvised weapons (umbrella, book, pen, keys), and firearms awareness and defense.

​

INOSANTO-LACOSTE KALI

The heart of the CCS Kali curriculum. This is the system that Guro Dan Inosanto has spent his lifetime preserving and transmitting — drawing from the teachings of Johnny LaCoste (who taught Inosanto the foundational FMA framework), Grand Master Antonio Ilustrisimo (the blind master of the blade), Leo Giron (WWII veteran and master of largo mano), Edgar Sulite (Lameco Eskrima), and dozens of other masters Inosanto trained with over six decades.

Inosanto-LaCoste Kali is defined by its comprehensiveness. Where some FMA systems specialize in single stick or single blade, the Inosanto-LaCoste system covers the full spectrum — from largo mano (long range) to corto (close quarters), from two-handed stick to knife and live hand, from empty-hand strikes and destructions to grappling and ground survival. It is a complete martial art for every range and every weapon.

​

What you train in Inosanto-LaCoste Kali at CCS:

Cinco Teros — the five strikes system, a compressed, devastating application of the twelve angles for rapid-fire offensive combinations.

Twelve Angles of Attack — the foundational attack pattern covering every angle from which a blow can be delivered. Every technique in the system maps to these angles. Master the twelve and you understand the grammar of Kali.

Abecedario — the alphabet of Kali techniques: the foundational feeding and receiving patterns that build the muscle memory of the art from the ground up.

Hubud-Lubud — the "tie and untie" sensitivity drill from Pekiti Tirsia. Where chi sao develops trapping sensitivity in Wing Chun, Hubud develops it in Kali. The ability to feel an opponent's structure and respond without thinking begins here.

Sumbrada — the flowing counter-for-counter training drill that develops sensitivity, timing, and the ability to maintain continuous forward pressure while reading and responding to the opponent's attacks. The training is cooperative at first — then competitive.

Flow Drills — the signature training method of Inosanto-LaCoste Kali. Moving seamlessly from one technique to another, weapon to empty hand to weapon, close to medium to long range, without breaking rhythm or losing forward pressure. Combat Flow is the goal; flow drills are how you get there.

Disarms — strip, trap, and redirect the opponent's weapon using body mechanics rather than strength. Kali's disarming systems are among the most sophisticated weapon-removal methodologies in any martial art on earth.

Espada y Daga — sword and dagger, the long and short weapon combination that is one of FMA's signature training formats. The skills translate directly to stick and knife in modern application.

Mano-Mano — the empty-hand expression of Kali principles. All the angles, all the footwork, all the sensitivity drills — now applied without a weapon in hand. This is where Kali becomes Panantukan and informs every aspect of empty-hand striking.

​

PEKITI-TIRSIA KALI

Founded in 1897 by the Tortal family in the Visayan region of the Philippines, Pekiti Tirsia Kali is one of the most battle-tested weapons systems in existence. Translated as "to cut up close into many pieces," it was the closely guarded family system of the Tortal clan until Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje brought it to the United States in 1972. Today it is the official combat system of the Philippine Marine Corps and the Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police.

​

As Guro Dan Inosanto has stated: "In the field of strategic Knife Defense, the Pekiti-Tirsia System of Kali is the most progressive, practical and sophisticated system of Tactical Knife Self-Defense and Edged Weapon awareness that I have ever encountered."

​

The CCS Pekiti Tirsia curriculum draws from training under Guro Dan Inosanto, and Tuhon Apolo Ladra in the Tri-V System, as well as drawing from the Lineage of Tim Waid and Doug Marcaida — one of the most complete transmissions of Pekiti Tirsia available outside the Philippines. You will learn:

The Tri-V System — Pekiti Tirsia's signature entry methodology, covering three primary entry angles that form the tactical backbone of the system's offensive and counter-offensive game.

Kali Single and Double Stick — the weapon applications of the Tri-V system, training both single and double impact weapon methodologies from Pekiti Tirsia's comprehensive attack tree.

Combat Blade — the edged weapon curriculum of Pekiti Tirsia, covering knife offense, defense, defanging, follow-through, and ground survival with a blade in play. This is the knife curriculum trusted by Special Forces — and it is the foundation of the Military Edged Weapons program at CCS.

Tactical Knife Defense — derived from the PTK framework and recognized by law enforcement and military communities worldwide as the most realistic knife defense methodology available.

​

REGINO ILUSTRISIMO / ILUSTRISIMO KALI

Antonio "Tatang" Ilustrisimo was one of the legendary figures of Philippine martial arts — a man who survived World War II combat, defended himself in countless life-or-death encounters, and developed a system of Kali that Guro Dan Inosanto describes as among the most sophisticated blade arts he has ever encountered. Ilustrisimo was functionally blind in one eye and remained undefeated in combat well into old age.

​

His system emphasizes the blade above all other weapons, with striking mechanics derived from the slash and thrust of edged combat. The Ilustrisimo influence at CCS — received through training under Guro Inosanto — sharpens the edged weapons curriculum with historical depth and blade-specific mechanics that single-stick-only systems cannot provide.

​

DFA KALI-KUNTAO

Dynamic Fighting Arts (DFA) Kali-KunTao under Guro David Seiwert is one of the most integrated weapons-to-grappling curricula available in Southern California, and Guro Jeramiah holds full certification across its curriculum:

• Single Stick Instructor

• Double Stick Instructor

• Knife Defense Instructor

• Knife Offense Certified

 

DFA's methodology integrates Kali's weapons framework with KunTao's devastating close-range striking and Silat's off-balancing, sweeping, and locking systems — creating a seamless weapons-to-clinch-to-ground curriculum where the weapon and the empty hand are always speaking the same language.

​

KunTao — literally "Way of the Fist" in Chinese-Malay — is the fighting system of the ethnic Chinese communities of Southeast Asia, brought through Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines over centuries of trade and settlement. It features explosive close-range striking, iron-body conditioning, and devastating power generation through short, efficient body mechanics. Its integration with Kali and Silat creates a complete combat system that covers every range from weapons to ground.

THE SILAT ARTS

MAPHILINDO SILAT — GURO DAN INOSANTO'S SYNTHESIS

Silat is the martial art of the Malay Archipelago — Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, the southern Philippines, and the surrounding islands. Hundreds of distinct Silat systems exist across this region, each with its own weapons, techniques, cosmology, and cultural identity. At their core, all Silat systems share a set of principles: off-balancing (langkah), sweeping (sapu), entering (masuk), and decisive finishing — often from the ground, often with edged weapons.

​

Guro Dan Inosanto, in tribute to his Silat instructors from Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia — including Herman Suwanda (Mande Muda) and Edgar Sulite — created Maphilindo Silat as a synthesis drawing from multiple Silat systems he had studied throughout his career. The name references the Maphilindo concept — an aspirational union of Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia — honoring the three cultural streams that inform the art.

​

Maphilindo Silat at CCS covers:

Entering and Off-Balancing — Silat's signature contribution to the CCS curriculum. Where Kali operates primarily on the weapon and the defanging principle, Silat operates on the opponent's structure. Enter past the attack, collapse the base, redirect the body. The opponent's strength becomes their vulnerability. Entry leads immediately to takedown, and takedown leads immediately to finishing — the three-phase Silat formula.

Langkah — Footwork and Triangular Stepping — the foundational movement system of Silat. Where most martial arts move in straight lines, Silat moves in triangles — stepping off the centerline to create angles, avoid power, and position for the sweep or throw. The footwork creates the entry; the entry creates the off-balance; the off-balance creates the finish.

Sapu / Biset — Sweeping Techniques — floor-level foot and leg sweeping that collapses the opponent's stance from beneath them. Silat's sapu system is among the most comprehensive lower-body attack methodologies in any martial art, and its integration with Kali's upper-body weapons creates a complete high-low attack pattern that is extraordinarily difficult to defend.

Kuncian — Locking and Control — Silat's joint manipulation and control system, applied in close quarters after the entry and off-balance phase. Kuncian connects Silat seamlessly to the grappling and Combat JuJitsu curriculum.

Buah — Finishing Techniques — the terminal phase of Silat. Having entered, off-balanced, and locked, the finishing techniques of Silat are decisive, grounded, and designed to end threats completely. Strikes, throws, breaks, chokes — the buah system covers all of them.

Sarong and Short Stick — Maphilindo Silat's signature weapons. The sarong — a length of fabric — becomes a strangling, trapping, and whipping weapon in trained hands. The short stick (akin to a karambit handle or pocket stick) integrates with the locking and control systems seamlessly.

​

HARIMAU SILAT — THE TIGER STYLE

Harimau ("Tiger") Silat originates from West Sumatra, Indonesia, and is one of the most distinctive and combat-effective Silat systems in existence. Where most Silat operates from upright entry positions, Harimau Silat fights from the ground — low stances, floor-level sweeps, dropping entries, and tiger claw strikes that operate in the zone where most fighters are completely unprepared.

​

The Harimau influence at CCS comes through training under Guro Ron Balicki and Guro Daniel Sullivan, both of whom are recognized authorities in Harimau's application. You will learn:

Low-Line Attacks and Entries — dropping beneath the opponent's guard and attacking from ground level, disrupting every assumption they have about where the attack comes from.

Tiger Claw Strikes — raking, gouging, and compressing strikes targeting soft tissue, nerve centers, and joints. Harimau's striking integrates with its floor-level positioning to create a close-range system that is extraordinarily difficult to manage.

Ground Sweeping and Takedowns — Harimau's floor-level game provides a Silat alternative to conventional grappling takedowns: sweeps that happen from below the opponent's visual field, executed from positions that simultaneously protect against stomps and attacks.

​

KUNTAO SILAT — THE CHINESE-INDONESIAN SYNTHESIS

KunTao Silat is the product of centuries of cultural interchange between Chinese immigrants and the indigenous Silat traditions of Southeast Asia — a synthesis that emerged in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the southern Philippines as Chinese and Malay fighting systems were practiced side by side, compared, integrated, and refined.

​

The result is a system that combines the explosive striking of Chinese martial arts with the off-balancing, sweeping, and weapons integration of Silat — and the weapons context of Kali. KunTao Silat training at CCS draws from both the Inosanto and DFA Seiwert lineages, covering:

Ground-based fighting positions, explosive power generation from short range, simultaneous striking and off-balancing, the integration of short weapons with grappling entries, and the devastating efficiency of a system designed to end confrontations rapidly against larger, stronger opponents.

​

SOUTHEAST ASIAN STRIKING ARTS

PANANTUKAN — FILIPINO DIRTY BOXING

Panantukan is the empty-hand striking system of the Philippines — and calling it "dirty boxing" understates both its sophistication and its devastation. It is not boxing with tricks added. It is a complete upper-body weapons system derived from knife-fighting principles, where every part of the hand, arm, elbow, and shoulder is a weapon, and the goal is not to score points but to break down the opponent's structure and create openings for the finish.

​

The knife-fighting origins of Panantukan are essential to understanding why it works: every angle, every entry, every deflection follows the same body mechanics as the blade attacks of Kali. The system trains you to use your body as though every limb were a weapon — which, in effect, it is.

​

At CCS, you will learn:

Bicep and Forearm Destructions — attacking the opponent's attacking limb at the muscle belly and nerve centers to numb, weaken, and disrupt their ability to throw effective strikes. Hit the arm before the fist reaches you.

Elbow Strikes on All Levels — high, medium, low. The elbow is the hardest surface on the human body. Panantukan deploys it in every direction with the same flow drill structure used in stick fighting.

Shoulder Checks and Bump-and-Fist — using the shoulder, chest, and upper body as an offensive tool to off-balance the opponent while simultaneously striking.

Head Butts — integrated with the entry and clinch phase, the head butt is a natural extension of Panantukan's close-range game.

Limb Destructions and Defanging — attacking the opponent's punching limbs in the same way Kali attacks the weapon hand. Stop the weapon before it reaches its target.

Eye Rakes and Face Rakes — the asymmetrical tools that make Panantukan what it is in street application. Not illegal in a real fight.

Integration with Silat — Panantukan's upper body and Silat's lower body footwork and sweeping create a complete standup-to-takedown system that flows from the first strike to the finish without interruption.

​

MUAY THAI — THAI BOXING

The national sport and martial art of Thailand, Muay Thai is the art of eight weapons: fists, elbows, knees, and shins — the "Art of Eight Limbs." One of the most battle-tested stand-up striking systems in the world, with a continuous tradition of live full-contact competition spanning centuries, Muay Thai provides the CCS curriculum with the most effective and time-proven toolkit for stand-up fighting available.

​

In the context of the Kali-Silat Motion curriculum, Muay Thai serves as the primary kicking and knee/elbow striking foundation, integrating with:

Kali's weapons framework — the angles of attack from stick and knife translate directly to Thai round kick mechanics and elbow strike angles.

Silat's footwork — triangular stepping creates the angles for Muay Thai's round kicks and teep (push kick) that straight-line boxing footwork cannot access.

Panantukan's clinch game — the Muay Thai plum position (double neck clinch) is the gateway to Panantukan's close-range elbow and knee strikes, and to Silat's sweeping entries from the clinch.

The Muay Thai curriculum at CCS covers:

Round kicks (low, mid, high), the teep (push kick) and side teep, shin conditioning principles, the plum and Thai clinch — including pummeling, knee strikes from the clinch, elbow entries, and sweeps — and the integration of Muay Thai's stand-up game with the entry and finishing principles of Silat.

​

Guro Jeramiah has trained in Muay Thai under Ajarn Daniel Sullivan, who integrates Muay Thai throughout the Kali-Silat curriculum, and Ajarn Roger Luri.

​

THE OCR GAME PLAN: HOW IT ALL CONNECTS

What makes Kali-Silat Motion at CCS more than a collection of techniques is the Combat Flow methodology — the ability to move seamlessly between weapons range, stand-up striking, close-range clinch, and the ground without breaking rhythm, without hesitating, without thinking.

​

The OCR Game Plan — Offense, Counter, Recounter — is the strategic framework:

You learn to attack. Then you learn to counter the counter. Then you learn to recounter the recounter. Three levels of thinking ahead, trained until the response is automatic.​

The COMBAT formula — Counter On Motion Before Attack Time — is how you get there: attack before the attack is complete, using the JKD principle of interception and the Kali principle of defanging the snake, in every range.

In practice, this means:

A stick attack becomes an entry to Panantukan. A Panantukan entry becomes a Silat sweep. A Silat sweep becomes a KinaMutai finish. And the whole sequence flows from the twelve angles of Kali, expressed through the body motion of Silat, finished with the asymmetrical tools of the ground game.

​

This is not theory. This is what you train from day one, developed over the four phases of the CCS curriculum until it becomes as natural as breathing.

​

REAL-WORLD CREDENTIALS: WHY THIS CURRICULUM IS PRESSURE-TESTED

Guro Jeramiah does not teach from a manual. He teaches from experience.

​

Full Contact Stick Fighting — He has competed in live stick sparring environments where real rattan meets real forearms and real shins, where the speed and impact of a trained stick fighter demands real defensive skill or delivers real consequences. The difference between a man who has drilled defangs and a man who has defended against a committed stick attack under pressure is enormous. Guro Jeramiah is the latter.​

Ten Years of Bouncing and Security Work — Nightclubs, hotels, corporate environments. The real-world application of weapons awareness, crowd management, and the management of close-range aggression from people who are drunk, aggressive, and unpredictable. Kali's environmental awareness — using what is available, using space, using angles — is not an abstract principle when you are working the door at a nightclub at 2 AM.

​

These are not stories. They are the credentials behind the curriculum.

​

WHAT KALI-SILAT MOTION TEACHES YOU

Weapons Range

Single stick, double stick, stick and knife, knife alone, long blade, short blade, karambit, flexible weapons, improvised weapons — across all three impact ranges: Largo (long), Medio (medium), Corto (close). The twelve angles. The disarms. The defangs. The flow drills.

Stand-Up Striking

Panantukan (Filipino Dirty Boxing): destructions, elbow strikes, head butts, eye rakes, shoulder bumps. Muay Thai: round kicks, knees, teep, shin conditioning, plum clinch. Muay Boran: ancient Thai techniques, animal system strikes, extended clinch. Bando: animal system fighting personalities.

Clinch and Entry

Silat's triangular entry footwork, off-balancing (langkah), the plum position from Muay Thai, Panantukan's shoulder check and bump-and-fist, and the Kali hubud-lubud sensitivity system — all creating seamless transitions from the weapon range to the hands.

Ground Game Integration

Maphilindo Silat's sweeps (sapu), throws, and kuncian locking. Harimau Silat's low-line tiger positions and floor-level attacks. Mande Muda's comprehensive Silat ground entries. KunTao Silat's explosive short-range power from the ground. And the KinaMutai asymmetrical finishing system when the fight reaches the mat.

Environmental Awareness and Mass Attack

Kali's constant training with multiple opponents — never lingering, always moving, always creating angles, using the environment as a weapon, treating every object in reach as an improvised tool. The situational awareness that comes from training with weapons every session.

WHO THIS PROGRAM IS FOR

The Serious Martial Artist who wants authentic Southeast Asian martial arts from direct lineage holders — not a watered-down, Americanized version of Kali.

 

The Self-Defense Student who wants the most weapons-integrated, multiple-opponent-ready curriculum available in San Diego.

 

The Security Professional or Law Enforcement Officer who needs realistic weapons awareness, disarm methodology, and the ability to manage armed and multiple attackers.

 

The Stunt Performer or Action Actor who needs authentic stick, knife, and edged weapons choreography grounded in real Filipino and Indonesian martial tradition.

 

The Person Who Has Never Trained who wants to start with a complete system — one that builds weapons skills and empty-hand skills together from day one, in a structured, welcoming environment.

 

The Film Fan who watched The Bourne Series, John Wick, Batman Begins, The Book of Eli, Taken, or Wu Assassins and wanted to know where those fight scenes came from. This is where they came from. Guro Dan Inosanto's lineage is the lineage behind those sequences — and this is where you train it.

​

READY TO MOVE?

The Philippines proved with sticks and blades that motion, angles, and weapons intelligence defeat size, strength, and armor. The warriors of Indonesia and the Malay Archipelago demonstrated that off-balancing, sweeping, and decisive finishing end fights before they truly begin.

 

That knowledge is here, in San Diego, at Cali Combat Systems — taught by an instructor who has trained directly under the foremost lineage holders of these arts, competed in full contact stick fighting, and tested these principles in real-world violence.

​

You can learn the same Filipino Martial Arts that shape the action in Hollywood's most iconic fight scenes. You can train under a direct lineage that flows from the Philippines and Indonesia through Guro Dan Inosanto to your hands.
