SAYOC KALI

A starting point, and idea or an experience. In the case of Pamana (Inheritor of Family Legacy) Tuhon Chris Sayoc, his system, SAYOC KALI, is the result of a lifetime of training and real life experiences. It’s about his personal development and his understanding based on the many lessons learned throughout his life. It’s his system, his thought process, his philosophy, his method of movement, his way of training and his way of life.

The Sayoc Research Team began back in the mid 2000’s when a group of instructors expressed their shared interest in collecting Filipino weapons and the study of Philippine history. As a group we had amassed hundreds of books / articles on SEAsian weapons and folklore. Decades later, the invaluable research from numerous institutions, museums and private collections has deeply informed the Sayoc system and tribe. To know our roots was to honor those who came before us. The original team was Atienza Tuhon B**g Atienza, Sayoc Tuhon Harley Elmore, Sayoc FI Bob Shin and myself. “ Never lose the grace of the art “ Pamana Tuhon Chris Sayoc, Sr. #thesource #sandata #onetribeblades #10khands #theartoftheblade
