THE KALI CIRCLE COMBAT SYSTEM

The Kali Circle Combat System is a modern evolution of two legendary arts : Filipino Kali and Pencak Silat.
Kali is the ancient warrior art of the Philippines. Pencak Silat is the native fighting art of the Indonesian archipelago, going all the way back to the 6th century. Both recognize no rule when it comes to self-defence.

Founded by Guro Joe Habis in 2014, the Kali Circle is his own vision of a highly efficient and realistic combat system, grounded in Kali and Silat, and developed and tested through a lifetime of practice and teaching.

The Kali Circle Combat System covers all six fundamental aspects of combat :

• Striking
• Clinching
• Weapons
• Ground Fighting 
• Improvised Weapons
• Group Attack

At the cutting edge of martial arts evolution, and completed with a constantly updated health system and a deep and practical philosophy of combat, the Kali Circle Combat System builds up highly skilled martial artists, trained to be able to adapt to any given situation.
