The very best for Kali / Pekiti Tirsia Kali training year round in the US!! Here and via zoom you can train consistently with the Ladra Brothers Tuhons Apolo & Bobby and also with Grant Tuhon Leo Gaje when he visits. A special place with a very structured curriculum that’s an easy to follow consistent and progressive guide to making Kali flow as your own.
Paul Lavallee
Great program and trainers! My son looks forward to his class twice a week. It’s been a fantastic complement to his position as a soccer goalie, enhancing his reflexes, agility and focus.
Judy Netsuziy
Expert instruction with a family feeling to each class. Tuhon Apolo is an incredible instructor and his assistants are quite skilled. I haven't been able to train martial arts for nearly 8 years due to a knee injury but they have modified the training so that I can maximize my training and succeed.
George Scott
A beautiful place to train, with a wanderfill atmosphere. Having Tuhon Apalo, and Tuhon Bobby at on location is amazing.

I love Kali! Tuhon Apolo is the best when it comes to instructing this art. He really makes it easy for anyone to learn it! I can't wait for his seminars to come back to WPB, FL. Tuhon Apolo your a inspiration! we hope you go all the way in Kali History!!!
Kathleen Lopez
In all my many years of martial arts experience I have never come across anyone like Tuhon Apolo. Unparalleled skill and teaching ability. I have learned more in the last year then any other time in my life. His live seminars and online training are awesome and full of "AH HA" moments. I feel very greatful and honored to be part of the I Kali movement. Thank you Tuhon. Much Respect.
