Kali Sikaran Leederville

Kali Sikaran Leederville teaches Filipino martial arts in a supportive, ego-free environment that welcomes complete beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Part of an internationally connected instructor network, the school in Leederville offers a structured, progressive path through the weapons-based and empty-hand traditions of Kali.

Training is built around six core components, spanning double and single stick, knife defence, close-quarter hand work known as Kadena de Mano, Filipino boxing (Panantukan) and Filipino kickboxing (Sikaran). The curriculum follows clearly defined phases designed to be both progressive and safe, so students build genuine skill and confidence over time rather than being thrown in the deep end.

What stands out, according to those who train here, is the community: knowledgeable instructors who encourage questions and take the time to explain the why as well as the how, within a no-ego atmosphere where everyone is focused on learning. Suitable for ages 14 and up, the school appeals to curious beginners wanting a genuine introduction to martial arts as well as seasoned martial artists seeking complex new skills and techniques to test themselves against.
