Weapons weilding and multiple attackers are the main theme concentrated on. Our Multiple Attackers drills alone make Makoa Kali an innovative and exciting system to practice.
During the course of studying Makoa Combatives, one gets acquanted with groundfighting right away. A basic 40 hour course is a requisite for any wanting to pursue Makoa Kali on a long-term basis. The course is structured like the US Army RANGERs "13 basic elements of JiuJitsu" trainers course. With Sinawali Stick and Empty hand drills sprinckled in. The stick and angles prtion is unlike other Filipino arts-as we delve straight into Sinawali--with the logic of constantly training the live hand, as opposed to almost all other systems, which center on Solo Baston first. This ties into the blade work much more effectively. Groundfighting and stick/blade skills go well together, complement each other very well. The result is an effective, well rounded fighter who can handle many different combat scenarios.
