Why Kali Training?
Why Kali training?
In short, because the value of Kali is worth it!
In "The Secrets of Giron Arnis Escrima," the value of escrima is put into three main classes:
- Self-Preservation
- Legacy and Commemoration
- Social value
In regards to self-preservation, the author writes "we learn the art to defend ourselves from destruction by our fellow human beings that have nothing better to do than inflicting injury upon others."
When legacy and commemoration are explored, training insures the legacy of the forefathers who handed their arts down to us and training also celebrates the forefathers who were forced to practice the art in secrecy by the Spanish regime.
With respect to social value, the author writes that teamwork is essential. Your training group is one example of a team. Teammates do all they can to help each other do better. This dynamic cultivates a strong sense of brotherhood.
While I do not disagree with any of these things, I want to focus here on how Kali training helps me accomplish my "WHY," which is to liven and lengthen the lifespans and "healthspans" of my community members.
Liven Your Life
Why Kali training?
It has the ability to liven your life through adventure, brotherhood, and purpose.
ADVENTURE
How’s traveling to the Philippines for adventure?
I have known students that have done just that.
While I haven't traveled to the Philippines, I have traveled to multiple states for training.
What prompted this spirit of adventure?
Kali.
BROTHERHOOD
I have met brothers-from-other-mothers thanks to Kali.
Students of mine have met brothers thanks to Kali.
Training in Kali is a surefire way to become part of a family.
PURPOSE
Kali training can provide a sense of meaning. It can also provide an aim or a goal.
Whether your purpose is self-development, progression in the art, or becoming a torch-bearer, Kali can answer the call.
As a discipline of study that can inspire adventure, foster brotherhood, and create purpose, Kali can certainly liven your life.
Lengthen Your Life
Why Kali training?
It has the capacity to lengthen your life through physical activity, purpose, and stress management.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
As a form of movement and methodical physical exercise, Kali can positively contribute to your health, which can, in turn, contribute to longevity.
PURPOSE
Purpose may be created by training.
This purpose may provide a reason to continue living, as the mission is not yet complete.
STRESS MANAGEMENT
Stress produces a chemical response in the body. This response is designed to prepare the body for fight or flight. If no fight or flight occurs, the chemical products of the stress response linger in the body. These lingering by-products can produce negative consequences.
Like fight or flight, Kali training is movement and, as such, will use up the by-products of the stress response.
Movement is a terrific stress management tool.
