Over the past few weeks, I’ve introduced Amy to something a little different—the Filipino martial art of Kali. And let me tell you, she’s taken to it like a duck to water. 🦆
If you're not familiar with Kali, it's a weapons-based martial art from the Philippines that emphasizes fluid movement, coordination, timing, and precision. Think sticks, knives, and open-hand techniques, all wrapped up in an art that’s as graceful as it is powerful. It’s fast, it’s dynamic, and it’s a whole lot of fun.
What’s been amazing to watch is how naturally Amy has picked it up. Kali seems to be clicking with her on a deep level—her movements are smooth, her focus is sharp, and her enthusiasm is through the roof. And while it’s a whole different ball game from Taekwon-Do, the crossover benefits are already showing.
Kali is giving Amy a fresh perspective on body mechanics and coordination. The angles, footwork, and flow of Kali are sharpening her spatial awareness and timing—skills that directly boost her Taekwon-Do practice. It’s like her martial arts toolkit just got a powerful new upgrade.
But let’s not ignore the most important part… Amy looks Cobra Kai Kool while doing it. 🥤
There’s just something about the way Kali moves—the rhythm, the speed, the flair. It has that cinematic edge that makes it look effortlessly badass. And Amy? She wears it like a pro.
