Filipino & Indonesian Martial Arts

The Sikal™ Council

We are a group of dedicated martial artists with extensive training in Filipino and Indonesian martial arts and we hope to share it with other sheepdogs to help them better prepare to protect themselves and others.

Sikal draws from the combative arts of the Philippines and Indonesia and is built, from the ground up, to provide practical training for any one who is sincere about being prepared to protect themselves and others.

Through our Member Site we provide exclusive content to our members - people who currently train in Sikal with an instructor or in one of our traiing groups. You don't have to be actively training in Sikal, though, to become a member. By joining you can review the videos and articles and learn more about the system - determine if it's something you're interested in pursuing farther. You can ask questions and join discussions in the forums with other members and many of the Sikal senior practitioners and instructors.
