To all Filipino Martial Arts Practitioners

Welcome to the New Zealand Council of Kali Eskrima Arnis Instructors. Set up in 2007 we are the only non political, not for profit organisation who's sole purpose is the promotion of the Filipino Martial Arts regardless of style in New Zealand.

With the growing popularity of the Filipino martial arts on a world wide scale including New Zealand, it was felt that their was a need for a body to be organised that could inform the general public of what the real Filipino martial arts are all about.

A need for an organisation to help guide the general public in the right direction as to who are the real instructors of this unique martial art. Many of the leading instructors, Masters and Grand Masters of the FMA based in New Zealand have for the first time united together in order to help bring the correct information and to help promote the art of the Philippines in a non political, non fee paying, unified organisation.

Over the years the FMA has been known for it's politics and bickering, this is what makes this organisation so unique, it is a gathering of various styles who previously would not have even shared the same room, now joining together in a brotherhood to promote the Filipino martial arts on a national scale regardless of style for the betterment of the FMA as a whole.

The Council has received unprecedented acceptance in the Filipino martial arts community both in the New Zealand and in the Philippines and we are proud to be advancing the cultural and martial heritage of the Philippines.

The Council is a gathering of properly qualified authentic instructors in the Filipino martial arts who can trace their linage back to the Masters and Grand Masters of the arts in the Philippines, all of our instructors are bonifide representatives of the native Filipino martial arts styles and teach those methods as they are taught by the Masters and Grand Masters in the Philippines.

We hope you enjoy our brief presentation and that you will read and consider the information herein contained.

Maraming salamat,

Executive Board of Directors
