Meet your Lakan Guro
My name is Phil Penticost, and I am a Kali (Filipino Martial Arts) Instructor (Lakan Guro) based in south Tampa, FL. I'm an instructor under Tuhon Apolo Ladra and I use the iKali system to teach Petiki Tirsia Kali. I have been a martial arts practitioner for over 34 years, and I'm excited to share this amazing art with you.
What is Kali?
Kali is a complete system for self-protection. The main characteristic of Kali is the use of one or two arm-long sticks, swords, and knives for practice and combat. The strategies and tactics within Kali are developed in motion, and its mechanics are structured according to the characteristics of the weaponry employed - whether it be edged, blunt, or empty-hand. Combined with the principles of human anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology, this focus on flow and movement create the foundation and basis for tactical manipulation and application.
About the seminars
I offer these seminars to organizations as an exciting way to bring new energy to events, to get participants comfortable with movement and flow work, and to teach self-defense to students of all ages - there's something for everyone!
