great guro. shitty history.

@draculium I have yet to meet any practitioner of traditional eskrima who is 60 years old or older in the Visayas or in Mindanao who calls it "kali." Malibog ra intawn sila kung dis-a na gikan nga pulonga.

...Kali is the warriors and Kalis is their sacred sword. ito ang kalis ko!!

I'm not sure of the history of the word Kali with Mindanao but one theory is that Kali comes from the combination of the words Kamot and Lihok (KAmot LIhok) and most reference books that I've read on the subject say that the Southern Filipino Arts tend to be referred to as Kali. I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of it but it is what I've heard from my instructor whos father and uncle were Filipino historians

[armynurseboy]

Not really. Silat and FMA have the same roots (both Malayan). Different influences have caused them to divergently evolve, but the underlying themes are all still the same. This is why someone trained in SIlat can cross train very easily in FMA, and have the arts become extensions of each other (and vice versa). Great example is a lot of the Lacosta Escrima stuff that Dan Inosanto teaches, especially empty hand, is VERY silat influenced, but still works withing the FMA framework.

where exactly in MINDANAO does KALI come from? and who called it KALI?

[KALAGANON]

Kali,really come from Mindanao...they erere the arts of the native of Kalaga provinces. They were once called "The land of the braves and fierce people" Maradjao Karadjao ! Kalagan warriors

Master Sulite+ (sumalangitnawa) is right... We really have 87 dialects not mentioning the sub-dialects of other indeginous tribes, weather it is KALI, ARNIS, ESCRIMA ect. it is all in the name " don't fuss about about it". (bruce lee). Salamat Po At Mabuhay Po ang lahing Pilipino.
