Kali/Escrima’s got a rich history! It’s a Filipino martial art that’s been around for centuries. Here’s the lowdown:
- Origins date back to pre-colonial Philippines (like, 14th century)
- Influenced by indigenous fighting styles and Spanish colonization ( sword-fighting, anyone?)
- Originally designed for warriors and guards to defend against enemies
- Focused on practical, effective techniques using sticks, knives, and empty hands
- Became popular worldwide in the 20th century, thanks to Filipino masters like Dan Inosanto and Bruce Lee’s influence
Now, it’s a globally recognized martial art, all about adaptability and flow.
The legendary Dan Inosanto! 
What style is he showcasing in this image – is it Kali, Jeet Kune Do, or something else?
