Welcome to the Classical Combat Eskrima Kali Association (CCEKA) -
International
This is a group dedicated to the teaching and systems represented by Guro Nonoy.
The Filipino Martial Art system (FMA) that is represented by CCEKA is the
Integral Trankada Aldabon Kali (ITAK) system. ITAK is a fusion of different
classical eskrima systems from the Philippines.
The core of the system is primarily blade oriented (swords, knives, etc)
rather than stick. Fighting ranges are long range (largo mano), medium range
(media), and close range (corto). The height of combat ranges from upright, to
squatting, kneeling, sitting, and on the ground. Training weapons used varies
from very light to extremely heavy hardwood sticks.
Training methods are based on the old systems practiced by traditional
eskrima kali experts in the Philippines. These methods were taught to the
guerillas and regular and special units of the Armed Forces during the Second
World War. In those days different edge weapons were taught, i.e. bolos, swords,
knives and short spear; bayonet fighting, rifle and pistol disaming were also
taught.
Classical Combat Eskrima Kali is born out of centuries of warfare among
islanders and against foreign invaders. The old time masters and grandmasters
view their art and fighting skills as pure self defence and not as a sport.
Today some of these practices can still be seen in remote areas of the
Philippines.
The arts represented in the fusion include the following or elements of the
following:
- Trankada Aldabon
- De Salon Rapillon
- Eskrima Dos Manos (not sinawali)
- Pontera Estokada
- Kali Ilustrisimo
- Samar Leyte Eskrima
- Taleon Cruzada Eskrima
- Lopez Largo Mano
- Bayez Media Corto
- Balintawak Toroy Style
- Villaluna Largo Mano
- Eskrima Dagaso
- Eskrima Musang
- Eskrima Cuatro Cantos
- and other systems
Aside from weaponry various forms of pangamut are taught:
- Sumbagan-Sipa (striking and kicking techniques)
- Sumbagan-Torsi (classical locks and holds, reversals)
- Sumbagan-Dumog (striking-grappling)
- Sumbagan-Kuntao (a subset of the system)
- Panumba (takedowns)
- Tapon/haboy (throwing)
- Sakal (choking)
- Pamali (bone breaking)
- Sentido Patama (vital area striking)
- Weapons Disarming techniques
- Multiple Defence
Many forms of weapons usage are part of the system:
- single and double stick
- single and double knife
- single and double sword
- flexible weapons (short chain, belt, scarf, sarong)
- sickle (garab)
- short battle axe
- short spear
- short staff and walking cane
- double hook stick
- throwing rods and knives
- composite weapons, i.e. flail
- improvised weapons etc.
Practioners and instructors of different martial arts such as Judo, Ju-Jutsu,
Aikido, Goju Karate, Shotokan Karate, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Krav Maga, Systema,
Northern Shaolin, Southern Shaolin, Kickboxing, Falcon Combat Sciences, JKD,
Chinese Internal Arts, Silat, etc. are now involved in studying the different
aspects of Integral Trankada Aldabon Kali (ITAK) eskrima. They find value in its
practicality, logical structure and generic motion application. Many are amazed
to find that all the hand-to-hand combat techniques are directly derived from
the use of the stick, knife and sword. These martial artists are happy to view
ITAK eskrima as a perfect complement to their own martial system.
