DC Kali Training Group

FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) training in the heart of our Nation's capitol!

DC Kali is the official DC Metro area training group for FCS Kali. Our curriculum includes knifes, swords, stick-fighting, striking, and grappling; but we place a special emphasis on edged weapons. Our aim is to train hard, learn some sound defense strategies, and make friends along the way.

Founded by Tuhon Ray Dionaldo, Filipino Combat Systems (FCS) is an organization dedicated the preservation and promotion of all Filipino Martial Arts. FCS is an organization with members from around the world which is based on Tuhon Ray Dionaldo's over 35 years of practicing various FMA styles from Modern Arnis, Pekiti Tirsia, Sayoc Kali, and many more. He's combine elements of each, into one system that's efficient, fast, concise, and logical.

FCS members have extremely diverse backgrounds, and Martial Arts systems. We've all come together because of our love of the Filipino Martial Arts, and our unwillingness to become involved in the politics that has so often stifled our growth.

Disciplines of FCS includes single or double stick, single or double blade, empty hands combat, and sword & dagger.

Mosi K. Jack, LL.M. helps lead training at DC Kali Training Group, where students can expect instruction built around Kali, Arnis, Escrima, Sikaran, empty hands work, and weapons-based systems. The coaching style emphasizes small semi-private groups, a safe environment for learning, and clear, combat-oriented practice, so you can develop skills step by step while working through knives, sticks, blades, striking, and grappling.
