A fast-paced and effective art, Kali is lot of fun. It even offers many restorative health benefits for both body and mind. Once you begin training, you'll realize that Kali isn't just a martial art-it's a way of life!

It's often called the art of eight limbs-Thai boxers strike with punches, kicks, knees and elbows from right and left.
