What is Goju-kalis?

Goju-kalis was developed from the methods of Ceberano hanshi's Filipino Elusive Warrior skill set to provide Goju-ryu Karateka 剛柔流空手家 Goju-ryu Karate Practioners with a broader, deeper view of the martial arts in order to enhance the skills that they have acquired through their karatejutsu training. 

Goju-kalis contains many of the technical features that are found in traditional Filipino Martial Art traditions as well as some inovations introduced by Ceberano Hanshi. 

Karateka may begin training in Goju-kalis once they have achieved proficiency at the Karatejutsu  Shodan   空手術初段  Black Belt 1st Dan level; actually students may begin training before this time with the permission of their Dojocho  道場長  Dojo Leader, however, they will not be able to be formally certified at a senior level in Goju-kalis until they have been certified as Yudansha有段者Certified Black Belt holder in Goju-ryu Karatejutsu unless otherwise authorised by the headmaster.

What is Included in Goju-kalis?

Goju-kalis is a comprehensive expression of Filipino Martial Arts including armed and unarmed methods. The weapons component includes the following methods: 
     1.  The Baston, (Single and Double) which is Spanish and Filipino for
          "cane,"  the ubiquitous Kali Stick is one of the primary weapons
          of Goju-kalis and most  other Filipino Martial Arts.  It  is also known
          as  yantok,  olisi, palo, pamalo, garrote, caña, cane, arnis stick, 
          eskrima stick or simply, stick.    

 
 
   2.  The Karambit, the ubiquitous rice harvesting knife of the South East Asian 
          Archipelagos. Used like all weapons as a simple extension of the hand


 
 
    3.  The Dulo Dulo "Two Points"  or as Olisi Palad "Palm Stick" which is used in a similar 
         way to the karmbit except that it has no edge.
         In Japan it is known as Yawara or Yawara Stick, as Shujo "Palm Stick" or as 
         Kongou "Thunderbolt." In China it is known as Jingang Chu  "Thunderbolt Baton"
        and in South Asia it is known as Vajra "Thunderbolt."   


     4.  The Goju-kalis Hawakan or side-handle Baton is a little different  to the
           common Hawakan as  it has three  "Points," one  at each end of the  long 
           shaft and a third on the  handle where it  extends  through the  long  shaft,
           making it a usefull too for attacking vital points of the body. In Goju-kalis the 
           Hawakan is used singularly rather than paired as in Okwinawan Kobudo. 
           In China it is  known as Guai "Crutch," on  Okinawa it is known  as Tonfa, 
           Tongfa or Tuifa and in Japan as Kai or Tonfa and in Malaysia as Mai Sok San.
              

     5.  The Tungkod or "Crooked Cane" walking stick features in Arcanis "the art of the Cane."
          The cane flows much in the same way as the Baston described above.
          The Tungkod is known as Shujo "Hand Cane" or Tsutekki (Romaji for "Stick") in Japanese.




    6.  The Nobby Nakka is a new weapon developed by Ceberano Hanshi and his senior
         Goju-kalis  practitioners it consists of a weighted chord  that loops around the wrist.
         The Nobby Nakka is much like the traditional Japanese weapon called Kusari-fundo
         "Weighted Chain." In Japanese it could well be called Tsuru-fundo "Weighted Chord."
         The Goju-kalis team developed a companion weapon called Nobby Chakku which is
         a chord like the Nobby Nakka but weighted at both ends. Both of these weapons are
         used in a manner similar to the Okinawan weapon Nunchaku "Rice Flail".
