Why Filipino Martial Arts Builds Safer, More Confident Kids
Filipino Martial Arts—known as Arnis, Eskrima, or Kali—developed as a practical system for self-defense using sticks, blades, and empty-hand techniques. It originated in the Philippines, blending adaptability, precision, and cultural values.
At Pamana Kali, our youth martial arts classes in Culver City, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach (Bixby Knolls), Carson, and San Fernando Valley teach awareness, self-defense, and discipline. Students learn skills that carry beyond the training floor and into everyday life.
