Combative Surviving System

Sayoc Kali is a knife-based style of Filipino Martial Arts. It is a family system, headed by Christopher Sayoc, Sr.. The motto of the style is, “All Blade, All the Time”.

Sayoc Kali is taught as part of the more general Sayoc Fighting System, which includes sword, stick, tomahawk and whip. The karambit may also be used. Sayoc Kali emphasizes the use of the blade. It includes techniques for single knife, multiple knives, projectiles, and secondary support to firearms. Primary empty hand training is under the Sayoc Silak curriculum.

Sayoc Kali presents itself as an evolving system. The Sayoc family hosted a number of Filipino Martial Arts masters migrating on the east coast of the United States during the 1970s. This gave the family opportunity to be influenced by styles such as Doce Pares, Pekiti Tirsia, and Dan Inosanto amongst many others.

The history of the Sayoc family, and their involvement in the security, law enforcement and military fields for the past thirty years has greatly altered their perspective and approach.

Guro Dan Inosanto calls Sayoc Kali, “A highly evolved Filipino Martial Art”.

Sayoc Tactical Group is Sayoc Kali’s military and law enforcement division.

Sayoc Combat Choreography is Sayoc Kali’s entertainment group. Which has choreographed fight scenes for films such as The Hunted and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

Sayoc Kali is headed by Chris Sayoc, Sr. His father, retired correctionals officer and former head of the Sayoc system Baltazar “Bo” Sayoc retired from full time martial arts teaching in the late 90’s and passed away in January 2007. Master Level Sayoc instructors with over twenty years experience respectively are Roberto Torres, Felix Cortes, Raymond Dionaldo, Rafael Kayanan, Ricardo Kayanan and Thomas Kier.
