Filipino Martial Arts Programs
Train Kali, Arnis, and Eskrima with Guro Jonn through a shared Filipino Martial Arts program. Stick work, footwork, empty-hand skills, training blades, and close-range practice are connected parts of the training, with private and small-group lessons also available.
What We Train
Our programs focus on practical Filipino Martial Arts skills that build coordination, control, awareness, confidence, and real self-defence ability.
Kali / Arnis / Eskrima
Learn the fundamentals of Filipino Martial Arts through weapon-based training, movement, timing, coordination, and practical application.
Stick Fighting
Develop practical skills in stick combat, including striking angles, defence, movement, weapon control, and distance management.
Footwork & Timing
Build movement, positioning, rhythm, and timing so you can respond with better control and awareness.
Core Training Areas
These are connected training areas within the same program, rather than separate courses. Students develop striking, blocking, footwork, and body mechanics, then build on those foundations through partner work and practical application.
Striking & Empty Hands
Train hand strikes, defensive movements, and open-hand skills that connect directly to weapon-based training.
Close-Range Training
Develop control, positioning, awareness, and practical problem-solving at short distance.
Self-Defence & Awareness
Build practical awareness, risk recognition, confidence, and self-defence habits for real-world situations.
Coordination & Flow
Improve timing, rhythm, body mechanics, and the ability to move smoothly between techniques.
Program Options
New and experienced students generally train together, revisiting fundamentals and learning from one another. Choose group classes or ask Guro Jonn about one-on-one and small-group training to suit your goals and availability.
New Student Foundations
Learn striking, blocking, footwork, and body mechanics within the group class. New students generally train alongside more experienced partners, with everyone returning to the fundamentals.
Regular Classes
Train from an established curriculum, with topics adapted to what the group needs. Single stick, double stick, empty hand, training blades, and close-range work all form part of the same program.
Private Training
Guro Jonn offers one-on-one and small-group training for all experience levels. Work on specific skills and body mechanics with focused feedback. Contact him to discuss your goals, scheduling, and location.
Who Can Train?
Complete beginners, experienced martial artists, adults, and mature teens can learn together. Guro Jonn encourages students to support their partners, ask questions, and bring consistent effort to training.
New Students
Start with the basics of Kali, Arnis, and Eskrima through clear instruction, safe drills, and structured progression.
Self-Defence Focus
Self-defence is built into regular training through movement, empty-hand skills, and practical application. Tell Guro Jonn about your goals so he can help you find a suitable starting point.
Martial Artists
Add weapon-based movement, timing, angles, and close-range control to your existing martial arts background.

Ask About ProgramsStart Simple
Most students begin by learning the foundations: movement, timing, coordination, stick work, and basic self-defence concepts. From there, training can become more focused depending on the student’s goals.
