Inosanto Kali Empty Hand numbering system (Escala), the number system of bare-handed shots called Escala.
These are the 30 shots you have to learn whatever martial art you do but especially if you want to expand your knowledge of Philippine martial arts.
You will find the shots of sports boxing but also what are called illegal boxing and it is important that you know these “boxing” shots well.
No, there are no kicks in this sequence, the focus is on shots with the upper limbs.
This list of 30 shots you have to perform and memorize, and it is a very important sequence because it contains the basics of Panantukan or Filipino Boxing.
Use this sequence to warm up and follow it in motion not from a standstill.
Stepping is really very important on the go because if you stand still you will always be a target.
