Kali Classes
in
Calgary & Okotoks
Structured Filipino Martial Arts classes for teens and adults. Train Kali, Arnis, Eskrima, stick fighting, footwork, timing, striking, close-range skills, and practical self-defence.
What to Expect in Class
Classes begin with a bow-in and joint-mobility warm-up, followed by striking, blocking, partner work, and flow drills. Guro Jonn generally finishes with sparring or pressure testing, then a bow-out and a short group reflection. New and experienced students usually train together.
Warm-Up & Movement
Begin with joint mobility to prepare for stick work. Develop footwork and body mechanics that support balance, positioning, and controlled movement.
Technical Training
Start with how to hold and swing a stick, then build striking angles and blocking skills. Repeated practice and flow drills develop coordination, sensitivity, and control.
Partner Drills
Partner drills start slowly, with clear communication and room to ask questions or reduce the pace. Sparring and pressure testing are introduced early to explore timing, natural reactions, and what works.

Teens & Adults
Adults and younger students train together. Guro Jonn suggests around age 12 as a useful starting point for dedicated FMA training, with maturity and responsible handling of training tools essential. Contact him to discuss suitability.
Experienced Students
Explore a blend of Filipino Martial Arts through single stick, double stick, empty-hand, and training-blade work. Train alongside students of different experience levels in a community that helps each other improve.
