Our school

Led by Guro Jeff Davidson, Detroit Kali Silat teaches Filipino Kali and forms of Silat from Malaysia and Indonesia. The school is a founding member of the Brotherhood of the Blade, a network of practitioners with chapters in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Classes are structured around active learning. Students are encouraged to ask questions, work with training partners, and learn from mistakes.

History, culture, philosophy, and the study of movement are part of the curriculum. The school’s mission also emphasizes discipline, leadership, and passing on the traditions that shaped each art.

Guro Jeff holds classes a couple of times a week in the Bloomfield area. Call him to talk about your experience, what you want to learn, and whether the class is a fit.
