Kung Fu Training in Raleigh, NC
Kali Kempo Self Defense utilizes Kung Fu alongside Shaolin Kempo Karate and Pekiti Tirsia Kali, bringing Filipino and Chinese Martial Arts together in one training program.
What Is Kung Fu
Kung Fu is not a specific style; instead it is a catch all word for Chinese Martial Arts. In Kali Kempo Self Defense, we teach portions from various Chinese Martial Arts, in the same way that the Shaolin Kung Fu absorbed, developed and taught martial arts.
How Kung Fu Fits Into Kali Kempo Self Defense
We teach breathing techniques from Qigong, Qin Na (joint locking) from Tai Chi, and hand strikes, power generation and forms from Shaolin Kung Fu, along with a variation of footwork drawn from Baguazhang. These are seen as a supplement to the weapon arts of Pekiti Tirsia Kali, and the unarmed style of Shaolin Kempo Karate.
