The curriculum as taught at WCS Kali is designed to make the student a proficient fighter in all areas and ranges. The curriculum is not limited by style and is not restrictive. Students learn concepts and develop attributes which will promote constant growth and evolution throughout the individual’s lifetime. Drawing from a number of Filipino Systems as well as other effective arts and systems the student at WCS will learn a highly practical and effective martial art and how to apply it against opponents of various fighting styles and types.

WCS Kali is unique in that it first develops essential skills and attributes essential for street defence and then builds on and promotes individual growth as a Martial Artist. It does not take years to learn to defend yourself, in fact students walk out of their first lesson with tools they can effectively apply in a street self-defence situation.  It does, however, take tremendous hard work and dedication to continually grow and constantly improve as an individual and martial artist.
