Description

THE ART: Silat, Kali and Hapkido. Two of the most effective martial arts ever created. Close quarters combat, self defense, knife defense, joint locks, takedowns and throws, and more. Classes will consist of about 1/2 empty hand self defense; 1/4 knife and 1/4 stick / short sword. TIME: Tuesdays and Saturdays, 7pm to 8:30 pm. INSTRUCTOR: Wael Abdelgawad. Black belts in Hapkido, Kempo, and Japanese Jujitsu, and instructor in Silat and Kali. 42 years of continuous martial arts experience. Trained with top instructors including Stuart Quan, Dave and James Olson, Dan Inosanto, Maul Mornie, Michael Seamark and Irie Yasuhiro. LOCATION: Railroad Park, 805 N. Peach at Alluvial. COST: $80 per month. OPEN TO: Men and women, beginners and advanced, are all welcome. Ages 18 and up, though mature teenagers (15 and up) could join with parental permission. YOU WILL NEED: Nothing in the beginning, but eventually you'll need a groin cup, eye protection, a pair of Kali sticks, hockey or lacrosse gloves, and a fencing helmet. This class is oriented toward effective self defense, exercise, comradeship, and mutual respect. My classes are not ego driven. If you are interested in acquiring rank, I can promote you in Sabeel Combatives, which is my own blend of Silat, Kali, Hapkido and Jujitsu. Rank advancement is difficult and takes dedication and time. MY WEBSITE: MY YOUTUBE:
