I’m curious about something, and I’d love to hear your stories.
How did you first come across Filipino martial arts, Kali, Escrima, Arnis, whatever name you know it by? Was it a film, an article you stumbled on, a friend who dragged you along to a class, or something else entirely that led you there?
I ask partly out of genuine curiosity, and partly because I’ve spent the last few months editing my own book, „12 Areas of Kali“, due for release, and reading through some old martial arts magazines and books on the subject along the way. Going back through the material has reminded me how many different doors people walk through to get into this art, and how different everyone’s first step tends to be.
So tell me yours. However it happened, I look forward to hearing about your story.
