Master the Filipino Martial Arts - with Structure, Clarity, and Real-World Application
Kali Kuntao is one of the most dynamic and versatile systems within the Filipino Martial Arts. This book goes beyond teaching techniques-it connects structure, movement principles, and functional application into a complete and coherent training path.
In this comprehensive training manual, certified sports educator and Guro Andreas Güttner guides you through the core areas of Kali Kuntao:
stick techniques, knife drills, unarmed applications, flow training, principles, and transitions.
All content is clearly structured, methodically developed, and illustrated with detailed step-by-step photo sequences.
Whether you are a beginner, an advanced student, or an instructor, this book provides a system you can apply directly in training.

Why This Book?
Because Kali Kuntao is not a collection of techniques -
it is a system. A path. A structure.

how techniques, drills, and principles work together,
how movements are logically built,
and how to transition from stick to knife to empty hands -
without losing your line.
Perfect for study, training, and teaching.
