FCS KALI CANADA

FCS is a system that aims to propagate and promote all Filipino arts. Note that Filipino Combat Systems is plural. It is not just one system. It incorporates a broad range of systems.

FCS focuses on giving respect back to the other systems that are a part of it. An FCS instructor can teach one of the core systems in its purity and at the same time merge aspects of the various systems. The purity of the core systems is not lost but the system becomes more than the sum of its parts. FCS is the link which allows the practitioner to bridge the gap between systems and techniques by utilizing the common denominators that they all share.

Kali is one of the ancient Filipino Martial Arts. Its roots can be traced back to the 9th century Sri Visayan Empire of South East Asia. One of the accepted historical versions has it that 12 Datus of Borneo brought kali to the Maharlikas (Southern Philippines).

Kali is a weapon based training method and uses long and short rattan cane to replace the swords, knives, and spears in basic training. As skill increases so does the use of real weapons. There are 12 categories of weaponry in Kali from single and double sword to projectile weapons, healing arts, as well as empty hand techniques. Some believe that the word kali is a contraction of two words Kamut (hand) and Lihut (motion). Others believe that the word Kali comes from the sword "kalis", and from the Hindu God of destruction, Kali.
