The Bituing Hilaga Kali De Leon Training Group

Kali De Leon (KDL) is a Filipino Martial Art (FMA) system founded by Guro Jun De Leon, includes Escrima or Arnis. It is based on the creative but disciplined use of various weapons including, but not limited to, sticks, knives, improvised weapons and empty-hand techniques.  More than that, KDL is the melding of battle tested traditional techniques with modern teaching methodologies. KDL offers a complete curriculum built upon progressive skills development that has been shown to both quickly advance and deeply inspire each and every KDL student.
