We have way to much fun with sharp objects! Kali is the study of edged and impact weaponry and is a blast. Traditional training encompasses almost any scenario you could encounter in self defense. We’ve built a great community at RCW, so if you believe in walking softly but carrying a big sick you’ll fit right in!! #inosanto #inosantokali #rcw #martialarts #tigard #lakeoswego #tualatin (at River City Warriors)
This five count comes from the Cambodian series, from our instructor and world class martial artist Dan Inosanto. Professor Inosanto has studied Muay Thai and striking all over the world and with numerous instructors. He’s developed several world champions and countless high level instructors. At River a City Warriors in Tigard we offer a kickboxing class every day of the week. Come drop in and see the kind of great shape you can get in with Muay Thai and change up your workout at the same time.
TheKali program at RCW is a complete system. Mainly because we subscribe to Guro (teacher) Dan Inosanto’s method of Kali, weaponry and tools, and Jeet Kune Do. Guro Inosanto was at one time Bruce Lee’s protege. However he’s gone on to dedicate himself every day of his life to the pursuit of greatness in the field of martial arts. At 81 years young, almost every major martial art has felt his influence from Boxing and Muay Thai to Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Shooto.
Most close quarter self defense drills you’ll find with a weapon might illustrate one component of that range. For instance they might emphasize disarming the weapon, punching or grappling. Others may prefer to hit with the handle or butt of the weapon, while others still use the end of the implement.
When I first saw this drill from Guro Inosanto it blew me away. Here’s a fundamental that quickly has you doing all the above. It’s very reality based and rapidly becomes a great sparring component. Whether you’re new to this type of training or a seasoned pro, these fundamentals are always a solid base to turn to.
Hope you enjoy and if if you’re interested in any of our classes we encourage you to explore River City Warriors with a free trial. We are right nearby, less than 5 minutes from Lake Oswego, Tualitin, and Tigard.
If you were in a bar, surrounded by strangers, would you know how to protect yourself? What if someone came at you with a knife, a broken bottle, or a gun? Our Kali & JKD program teaches the skills necessary to defend yourself in ANY situation.

“A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there.”
If you’re bored with your workout and don’t feel challenged, it might be time to get a little uncomfortable! Don’t worry, we only mean in the good ways. Learning a new skill always seems intimidating and is definitely a little uncomfortable at first. But sometimes that discomfort is perfectly necessary to break through those plateaus- be it physically, mentally, or emotionally. Check the link in our bio for info on your free trial.
