Powerful Self-Defense Keeps You Safe.
The Adult Filipino Martial Arts program at Progressive Martial Arts offers structured training in traditional and modern Kali, Eskrima, and Arnis, the combat systems of the Philippines.
Students train in weapon-based martial arts that develop speed, coordination, tactical awareness, and real-world self-defense ability. Training begins with weapons such as rattan sticks and blades and then transitions into empty-hand applications, grappling, and striking concepts.
This approach produces martial artists who can operate effectively across multiple ranges of combat, including weapon, striking, clinch, and grappling.
The Inosanto / Lacoste Method
The Filipino Martial Arts curriculum taught at Progressive Martial Arts draws heavily from the Inosanto / Lacoste Method, one of the most influential systems of Kali in the world.
Developed and preserved by Dan Inosanto, this method integrates knowledge from dozens of Filipino martial arts systems, forming a comprehensive curriculum that preserves traditional techniques while adapting them for modern training.
Training within this method includes:
• Single stick and sword training
• Double stick weapon work
• Stick and dagger combinations
• Knife tactics and blade awareness
• Empty-hand striking (Panantukan – Filipino boxing)
• Low-line kicking and footwork (Pananjakman)
• Grappling and off-balancing methods (Dumog)
The system emphasizes flow, sensitivity, timing, and adaptability, teaching students how weapon movements translate directly into empty-hand fighting and self-defense applications.
Students progress through drills that develop:
• Reaction speed and reflexes
• Hand-eye coordination
• Tactical awareness
• Realistic combat timing
Because weapons are introduced early in training, practitioners gain a deeper understanding of distance, angles, and structure, principles that apply to all martial arts.
Sayoc Kali - The Art of the Blade
Sayoc Kali, a system widely known for its specialized focus on edged-weapon tactics as developed by Pamana Tuhon Christopher Sayoc, Sr.
Originating from the Sayoc family of the Philippines, Sayoc Kali is recognized internationally as a highly structured blade-based fighting system.
The art is often described as “All Blade, All the Time,” emphasizing tactical use of knives and edged weapons from the beginning of training.
Training concepts include:
• Blade targeting and anatomical awareness
• Tactical positioning and entry strategies
• Flow drills and tapping methods
• Multiple attacker scenarios
• Defensive and counter-offensive blade work
Renowned martial arts instructor Dan Inosanto has described Sayoc Kali as one of the most developed knife systems available in modern Filipino martial arts training.
The system focuses on developing precision, timing, and decisive targeting, creating practitioners who understand the realities of edged-weapon encounters.
