Welcome to the World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation (WEKAF) Group.
Please use this page to keep everyone updated on all the latest WEKAF news and events through-out the World regardless of affiliation, style or association.
WEKAF (World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation) was formed in 1989 in Cebu, Philippines, to promote the Filipino martial arts (FMA) via a sporting version of eskrima (stickfighting) throughout the world.
The rules as well as the fight gears were originally devised by Supreme Grandmaster Dionsio Canete of Doce Pares who is its 'Chairman Emeritus' and adopted by the organisation.
There were originally 11 charter countries involved in the formation of WEKAF and there are currently over 30 member countries with thousands of practitioners involved in national and international tournaments.
WEKAF was the first world sporting organisation for the Filipino martial arts and is still to this day recognised as the largest organisation promoting the FMA via sport.
