“The concept and belief of progressive change is essential to ESAELD, all of our roads lead to relevance.”  – Punong Guru/Sifu Mike –

Kali Majapahit is a synthesis of several Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) as well as some other fighting arts from the ancient Majapahit area (Silat, Muay Thai, Kuntao…). It is a unified concept of FMA, traditional healing systems and personal development.

Sinawali exercises provide eskrima practitioners with basic skills and motions relevant to a mode of two-weapon blocking and response method called Doblete. Sinawali training is often introduced to novices to help them develop certain fundamental skills – including: body positioning and distance relative to an opponent, rotation of the body and the proper turning radius, recognition of one's center of gravity, eye–hand coordination, target perception and recognition, increased ambidexterity, recognition and performance of rhythmic structures for upper body movement, and muscular developments important to the art, especially, the wrist and forearm regions. It helps teach the novice eskrimador proper positioning while swinging a weapon.
