A Filipino martial art focusing on bare-handed techniques as well as fighting with weapons, especially sticks and knives. Kali is often called Escrima (Fencing) or Arnis (a name given by the Spanish to the decorations on the weapons). Kali places a great emphasis on wrist strength, dodging, mobility and smooth flow. Other main aspects are the implementation of articular levers and the study of the human body's pressure points. It is a very effective fighting style, using every part of the body as a weapon and ditching flashy techniques in favor of quicker, more straightforward ones which can provide fast kills.

Get the Kali mug.A rip-off of Pekiti Tirsia Kali, and other styles of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA).
Made up by the Sayocs to cash in on the interest in FMA. This system is interesting only to those who are new to FMA and are clueless about the history of the Sayocs.
Claims to be "all blade all the time"but it's more like "all money all the time". Expensive DVDs that teach "knife fighting" to teenagers and those who want to pretend their badasses LOL. Claims to be effective but is actually based on confusing and complicated templates that will naturally be forgotten in the heat of a real knife fight.
It's not really FMA, because its not from the Philippines. It was made up in the Sayoc's Tae Kwon Do club in the US.
If you're interested in knife fighting, you're better off learning it from Pekiti, Illustrisimo or any of the other true FMAs.
(oh by the way, some of the Sayoc's deluded keyboard warriors will try to delete this soon hehehehe.)

Get the Sayoc Kali mug."Karlism" is an extremely negative paranoid view of the world, combined with a sadomasochistic non-productive extraordinarily vocal and manipulative tendency to express such negative views in order to obtain a personal benefit, even though it usually accomplishes the exact opposite of what the person expressing such views might be trying to achieve.
Even in case John had been correct in some of his critical observations, his usual non-productive way of communication can be seen as a perfect example of "Karlism."
Due to his "Karlistic" approach, John who felt management had been conspiring against him from the beginning, only made the situation worse when he openly accused a board member of manipulation and deceit."
