Kali Training: Expectations Vs. Reality

Expectation Vs. Reality #1: Fight like Jason Bourne

Action star wannabes perhaps want to learn Kali to fight like Jason Bourne. Sure, why not? I’m guilty of this, too. But remember, while The Bourne Identity was based on Filipino martial arts, the fight scenes there were choreographed. Real life scenarios are different. And he’s a fictional character! While you may not become as badass as Jason Bourne, you can be a great Filipino martial artist through many years of regular training and hard work. You’ll learn many practical techniques and become a good fighter.
