Moi (this means hello in Finnish)
Combat Kali is not a separate style (like pekiti-tirsia or latosa) but rather is made up of elements from different styles. The training method is right from the beginning very much based on direct combat. We are encouraged to use experiences from other arts, so that Combat Kali as a whole uses anything that works for the individual fighter. What that may be I still have to find out... |

There are few styles to pick from:
- Pekiti-Tirsia
- B.I.F.F. eskrima
- Eskrima concepts
...and mine. I chose this because I don´t have time to travel too far and because I can also train kickboxing there for the same price(which I think was also the lowest). Just have to see where it takes me... |

Hello Ermehn.
I noticed you are writing from Savaii. I was there(and in Upolu) in July for two weeks. What a beautiful place! Where on the island are you from? I wanted to ask about martial arts in Samoa. What kind of martial arts can you train there? |
