ABOUT US
Stockton Multi-style Escrima is a non-profit organization whose goal is to preserve Stockton's indigenous reputation as the place where Filipino Martial Arts, known as Escrima, Arnis or Kali emerged in America.
​
We encompass the orginal teachings of the Leo Giron system, the SLD system developed by Maestro Dentoy Revillar, and the Multi-style combat techniques developed and taught by our Stockton Multi-style Escrima instructors and graduates.
​
We highly encourage our students to participe in full contact sparring so that they can apply what they have learned and determine what works for them in a combative situation.
​
This is the spirit behind "Training for the Truth." Our goal is to expose our students to the diverse history and culture of the Filipino Martial Arts and train them to survive and win when faced with a real life combat situation.
