What is the Wing Chun Kali System?

The Wing Chun Kali System, founded in 1987 by Sifu Joseph Musse, is a martial arts system focused on practical self-defense. It integrates traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu and Filipino Kali (also known as Eskrima/Arnis). Wing Chun Kung Fu primarily focuses on empty-hand fighting, while Kali emphasizes weapon-based fighting applications. The system covers various self-defense scenarios, including defending against multiple attackers, weapons, and fighting at different ranges.

What martial arts are taught within the system?

These arts are designed to complement each other, with Kali offering a deep understanding of bladed weapons and Wing Chun providing structure, timing, and hand to hand concepts.
