Description: Many Filipino martial arts practitioners believe 'kali' was the original pre-colonial name for the fighting arts before Spanish colonization. Some connect it to words meaning blade, sword or combat, though there is little direct historical evidence supporting this. The term 'kali' became popular mainly in the 20th century, especially in the United States, as practitioners looked for a uniquely Filipino name not derived from Spanish. Today, many schools use Kali because it emphasizes the Filipino roots of the art and highlights weapon-based training, especially blades.
