FORWARD
By Dan Inosanto:
I am honored to have been asked to write this forward for my long time student
and friend Bud Thompson.
I first met Bud, a former body builder, at his Hollywood Natural Foods store, in
1965. I along with my instructor Bruce Lee would frequent the Hollywood book
stores for our research on martial arts, and we would stop in to see” Buddy “for
the latest on nutritional supplements.
When I opened the Kali/Chinese Gung Fu Academy in Torrance California in
1974 Bud was there to train and has been with me ever since, Actively training at
the Kali Academy and following me to the IMB Academy(Inosanto-Martinez-
Bustillo),now International Martial Art and Boxing Academy in Torrance.
Bud opened up his school the Kali Academy of Mixed Martial Arts in 1989 and he
is still going strong.
As my oldest student (Bud is even older than me!), he has never ceased to grow
in his love and dedication to the arts. As a student his loyalty and dedication is
exemplary. Perhaps his greatest attribute, as a martial artist is open mind,
continuing to honor the art and training of the past coupled with his enthusiasm
for embracing what is new and innovative.
Bud is a true example of one who continues to absorb what is useful, reject what
is useless and add what is specifically his own for himself and his students.
Bud knows that change is necessary so that his students can adapt to the ever
changing times and situations. It has always been my wish that my instructors
continue to grow in knowledge and wisdom and become creative in their own
right. Bud Thompson is a great example of this.
Bud’s students will benefit from his years of training and teaching not only by
studying with him at his academy, but by reading his new manual, which will
enhance their skill and knowledge and aid them on their own path.

INTRODUCTION
This manual is a guide and supplement hand book for instructors of the Kali
Academy of Mixed Martial Arts • Jun Fan • Gung Fu Institute. It is for the
support of the instructor in the various martial arts taught at this academy,
and in his or her endeavor to pass on the knowledge to future generations.
The information in this manual is to be taken serious with honor and
respect and not to become common knowledge. “To achieve positive
results one must become a positive person” It’s not just the speed and
power in combat but the skill, sensitivity, and control that is most effective,
speed and power may lessen with advancing age; sensitivity, control and
knowledge will last you for a life time. “One should never be down on, what
one is not up on.” and the most difficult of obstacles you will ever face in
your life lies within yourself. It is my wish that the instructor will continue to
grow in knowledge and become creative in his or her own right. The
instructor has been granted the right to change anything he or she has
been taught in order to benefit his or her own needs and the needs of the
students, as he or she sees fit to change. Change is necessary so that the
practitioner can adapt to the ever changing times and situations.
Special thanks to Sifu/Guro Dan Inosanto for contributing to the publication
of this manual…………………..

Kali is the native art of the Philippines, It consists of both weapons and
bare hand skills.
The Art Mainly Uses Synchronized Stick Training Drills Along With Body
Angling And Fluid Movement, Gearing A Person Toward Better Hand And
Eye Coordination And Being Stable In Almost Any Position During
Confrontation, Along With Phasing Out The Factor Of Fear Associated With
Being Confronted With A Weapon.
While it may seem that this art is more of a man’s art that is deceiving a
thought. Due To the Timing, Balance, And Rhythm Involved a woman has
just as much of a chance of becoming proficient at this as she has of
becoming a proficient dancer. Along with all the great stories of the
Philippines, the blind Princess Josephine stands out. Because no one
could beat her in a fight, she would always lead her warriors into battle.
It is said among Eskrimadors that “By Understanding the Weapon First,
You Come To Know the Bare Hand”. There are an uncountable number of
styles in the Philippines among them, there are known by other names
such as Arnis De Mano, Arnis Lanada, Eskrima, Sikaran, Silat, Kuntao,
Kalibadman, Kalirongan, Pagkkalikali, and Tjakalele also described as
Indonesian fencing. Each style having methods and synchronized
techniques to set it apart from another, Yet All BeingTogether By A Common
Thread, Concentrating On The Basic Angles Of Attack.
We encourage a person to experiment with all the concepts and principles
of as many systems as possible. This type of liberal attitude is what makes
a free-thinking individual. One Who Make a Style Their Own, and who use
their wits and instincts to the best of their ability.
To quote the late Bruce Lee who advanced this concept beyond anybody
else “A Style Should Never Be Like A Bible In Which The Principles And
Laws Can Never Be Violated”.

LACOSTE SALUTATION
I present myself to the creator and to mankind on earth
I am striving for the knowledge of the third eye of the five
senses and beyond the five senses
I am striving for the love of all mankind and there will be
no shedding of the blood
I bow down to you not in submission but in respect to you
I extend the hand of friendship because I prefer it over the
hand of war, but if my friendship be rejected, I am
trained to be a warrior with wisdom
I stand in symbolism because I serve only The Creator, my
family and my country
I cherish the knowledge given to me by my instructors, for
it is my very life in combat
I am prepared to go against you even through your skill
may be greater than mine
Because even if my physical body should fall before you to
the earth
I am not worried because I know my spirit will rise again
as it is unconquerable
25

VILLABRILLE SALUTATION
O heavenly spirit, forgive me for my faults and weaknesses,
And in your mercy and kindness bless me with the spirit
That will give me the guidance, strength and power
For a strong mind and body so I may develop to be a good
Disciple of Kali.....

THE MOSLEMS OF THE SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES


(MOROS)
As seafarers, this branch of the Oceanic_Malay has no superior. They carried the cargo of
that early day. The famous Venetian traveler, Eben Wahab, wrote about them in 898 in the
city of
Confu in China, which was the gathering place of southeastern traders. Arabian
geographers of the
10th century mention them and their trade in spices. The Phoenician sailed the
Mediterranean. The
Oceanic-Malay voyaged the wide Pacific from Africa to the Easter Island, from China to the
coral
seas of the south. The wanderings of these early Malays were remarkable achievements of
navigation. The reading of the stars was known to them, as was the making of charts. That
these
voyages took place at an early date is suggested by the fact that as early as BC 2300 the
Chinese
had charted the heavens to pave the way for the navigator. The Arabic “Book of Miracles”
describes a voyage of three hundred ships made to Madagascar in 945. Strong evidence
shows
that the African coast was reached at this early date.
The Malay had sailed over a region approximating 2/3 of the circumference of the earth as
early as the 9th century. From the Malay sailors Marco Polo learned of Zanzibar,
Madagascar, and
Abyssinia, carrying back to Europe geographical knowledge the absorption of which was far
beyond
the capacity of European nations of that period. There also appears faint evidence that the
praos of
the Malay reached the coast of America. His heritage as a sailor retained for himself the
reputation
of producing the greatest pirates of all history.
The southern region of the Philippines is one of the oldest battlegrounds in the world. The
unconquerable Moros were beset upon all sides by land grabbing aggressors. Men of all
creeds
and colors have scrambled for a foothold in the southern Philippines—from India, Ceylon,
Borneo,
Celebes, Java, China, Japan, Portugal, France, Spain, Holland and England. Their bones
moulder
there and only the spirits of intrepid adventurers remain. They reckoned not on the courage
of the
defenders of this soil. During the period of the European expansion and colonization of
Asia, the
southern Philippines remained unconquered. They successfully defended their island
empire from
a period a century before 1 AD until their power was finally broken by the dismounted
cavalrymen of
United States at the battle of Bud Bagsak in 1913.

BRUCE LEE PHILOSOPHY


“Abandon all the martial arts you have learned… yet not really
abandoning
them.
In a well not dug, in the water not filling it, a shadow is reflected; a
man
with no form, no shadow is drawing water from this well.
A man with no form, no shadow, turns into a rice pounder when he
pounds
rice.”
Bruce Lee
It was Bruce’s habit to forever expound the advantages and
disadvantages
of the various combat styles… none were overlooked. He counseled
his
disciples not to think in terms of East vs. West, Chinese vs.
Japanese,
Okinawan vs. Korean, Karate vs. Judo, boxing vs. wrestling, Aikido
vs.
other Jiu-Jitsu styles, Thai boxing vs. Burmese boxing, Filipino
fencing vs.
Western fencing, etc. for the purpose of determining which was
better; but,
rather. To examine each method individually, find its pluses and
minuses,
then inquire of ourselves, “When will this work for me?” In other
words, if I
have two weapons, a hand grenade and a knife, and someone asks
which
is superior, I’d reply, “It depends.” If the enemy is fifty yards away…
I’d
heave the grenade. If we were in a phone booth, I’d be better off
with the
shorter weapon. Methods of combat also have their range of
efficiency.

AND MY OWN NATURAL TENDENCIES HAVE BEEN TO ORGANIZE AND
CLASSIFY MATERIAL AND PRESENT IT IN A LOGICAL ORDER TO MY
STUDENTS. SO WHAT MIGHT HAVE STARTED OFF AS SOME SORT OF
PERSON FLUIDITY OF ITS FOUNDER IS NOW SOLIDIFIED KNOWLEDGE,
PACKAGED FOR MASS DISTRIBUTION AS WELL AS MASS
INDOCTRINATION.
SINCE YOU ARE A CREATING INDIVIDUAL, YOU ARE MORE IMPORTANT
THAN
ANY EXISTING STYLE OR SYSTEM DEVISED BY ANY MARTIAL ART
MASTER
OR NATION OR GROUP. KNOWLEDGE COMES FROM DISCOVERING
THE
CAUSE OF YOUR IGNORANCE. PROBLEM SOLVING JOINED WITH
DIRECT
INTUITION GIVES US THE WISDOM FOR THE USAGE OF THIS
KNOWLEDGE.

“ABANDON ALL THE MARTIAL ARTS YOU HAVE LEARNED… YET NOT
REALLY ABANDONING, THEM. IN A WELL NOT DUG, IN THE WATER
NOT
FILLING, A SHADOW IS REFLECTED;
AND A MAN WITH NO FORM, NO SHADOW IS DRAWING WATER FROM
THE WELL.
A MAN WITH NO FORM, NO SHADOW, TURNS INTO A RICE POWDER
WHEN HE POUNDS RICE.”
BRUCE LEE
IT WAS BRUCE’S HABIT TO FOREVER EXPOUND THE ADVANTAGES
AND
DISADVANTAGES OF THE VARIOUS COMBAT STYLES… NONE WERE
OVERLOOKED. HE COUNSELED HIS DISCIPLES NOT TO THINK IN
TERMS OF
EAST VS. WEST, CHINESE VS. JAPANESE, OKINAWAN VS. KOREAN,
KARATE
VS. JUDO, BOXING VS. WRESTLING, AIKIDO VS. OTHER JIU-JITSU
STYLES,
THAI BOXING VS. BURMESE BOXING, FILIPINO FENCING VS. WESTERN
FENCING, ETC. FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING WHICH WAS
BETTER;
BUT. RATHER. TO EXAMINE EACH METHOD INDIVIDUALLY, FIND ITS
PLUSES
AND MINUSES, AND THEN INQUIRE OF OURSELVES, “WHEN WILL THIS
WORK
FOR ME?” IN OTHER WORDS, IF I HAVE TWO WEAPONS, A HAND
GRENADE
AND A KNIFE, AND SOMEONE ASKS WHICH IS SUPERIOR, I’D REPLY,
“IT
DEPENDS.” IF THE ENEMY IS FIFTY YARDS AWAY… I’D HEAVE THE
GRENADE. IF WE WERE IN A PHONE BOOTH, I’D BE BETTER OFF WITH
THE
SHORTER WEAPON. METHODS OF COMBAT ALSO HAVE THEIR RANGE
OF
EFFICIENCY.

What is learning? A journey and process, not a destination


and conclusion.
What is an instructor? A guide, not a guard or dictator.
What is a discovery? A constant process of questioning the
answers, not answering the question.
What is the goal? Open minds so that you can “be” not
Closed achieve the goal.
What is the test? Being and becoming, not just .
remembering and reviewing
What do we teach? Individuals; not lessons, not styles, not
systems and not methods or
techniques.
What is the school? Whatever we choose to make it.
Where is the school? Wherever we are
WHAT IS?

“THE TRUTH IN COMBAT IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH


INDIVDUAL”
1. RESEARCH YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE
2. ABSORB WHAT IS USEFUL
3. REJECT WHAT IS USELESS
4. ADD WHAT IS SPECIFICALLY YOUR OWN
137

“IT HAS BEEN STATED”


IT HAS BEEN STATED THAT “JEET KUNE DO” IS A
PROCESS OF ELIMINATION AND NOT
ACCUMULATION OF KNOWLEDGE BUT IT MUST BE
REMEMBERED THAT THIS IS A PROCESS AND NOT A
PRODUCT.
THE KEY WORD HERE IS “PROCESS.” YOU ARE
CONSTANTLY, THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE
LIFE ACCUMULATING AND THEN ELIMINATING
WHAT IS USEFUL AND NOT USEFUL IN YOUR
LIFE.

The goddess is full breasted, naked and standing on one foot. Her other leg
bends at the knee, with the sole of her foot resting on the other knee of the
supporting leg. Both ankles have several anklets enriching each. Kali’s dark
hair is bejeweled and piled on top of her head. The top of Kali’s coiffeur
culminates with three spires, the center most being the highest. Her tongue
fully extends from her mouth, with teeth bared. She wears a garland of
skulls around her neck, dangling bracelets on her wrists and a slave bracelet
around each bicep. A drooping belt of severed hands encircles her narrow
waist. Four arms extend two from each shoulder, with her hands holding a
kamagon (battle stick), sword or a knife, shield, a strangling noose or a
severed hand of a giant. An empty hand extends forward, palm out. Kali, in
Sanskrit means “black” and sources describe the goddess Kali as a black
faced demon with blood smeared all over her face. They also state the
paintings and sculptures show Kali’ stepping prone figure of consort, Shiva.
The Hindu meaning for the Kali is a devouring destructive goddess who is
blood thirsty.

KALI EMBLEMS
When Dan Inosanto studied the Filipino martial arts, he noticed that each Kali system had its own
particular emblem or school patch. Although each design was slightly different, they all had common
elements. The circle, triangle, and one or more weapons appeared in just about all school emblems.
Dan developed his emblem to take into account the history, religion, and cultural diversity of the Filipino
people. He intended the symbols to represent the development of Kali from the early 1500’s until the
present time.
Initially the design incorporated the “all seeing eye” of God. The eye, and now the circle, represents the
omnipresent (present in all places at all times), omnipotent (a force of unlimited power & authority,
omniscient (having infinite awareness, understanding, & insight possessed of universal or complete
knowledge), and omnificent (unlimited & creative power) of the Creator.
The emblem also had the Roman numeral XXV representing the 25 Kali systems Dan had studied at
that time.
The circle represents Diyos (the
Creator). The two apparent triangles
Depicted are the outside triangle
representing the external Kali
system. Hidden within these
triangles, or symbolized by them,
are other triangles representing the
numerous concepts, strategies, and
moral values of the warrior.

KALI EMBLEMS (con’t)


The Bolo and the Olisi divide the
emblem into four quadrants representing
Norte (north), Este (east), Sur (south), and
Oste (west). These four quadrants also
represent the four patron (guardian or
protector) Saints San Raphael, San
Miguel, San Gabriel, and San Uriel.
The Olisi (hard stick) is divided by the
Bolo (blade) into three sections
representing the Norte (northern) Luzon
region, Centro (central) Visayan region
and Sur (southern) Mindanao region of
the Philippines. The Lohot represents the
Visayan blade, but also symbolizes blades

HISTORY OF PHILIPPINES #1
Filipinos are recognized for their skill in martial conflict, particularly in the use of bladed
weaponry. This reputation defines both modern martial artists and warriors of past centuries. Current
Filipino systems represent an accumulated wealth of knowledge and experience passed down by
those who first struggled to reach the islands and then battled to maintain recognition, land, or
independence.
The Philippines is a large archipelago or group of islands located in the Pacific Ocean. The
islands were known as the Maharlikas prior to the coming of the Portuguese and Spanish in the 15 th
and 16th centuries. The Philippine Islands
lie on a Sundra Shelf, approximately 500
miles east of the coast of Southeast Asia.
The Sundra platform is a stable continental
platform and southward extension of the
Southeast Asia mainland. In ancient
history, the entire 690,000 square miles of
Sundra Shelf was above sea level but now
is mostly covered by shallow seas. Borneo
and parts of Java, Sumatra, and associated
islands are eroded metamorphic sections of
the shelf which will still remain above sea
level.
The Philippine Archipelago is
surrounded to the north and west by th4e
South China Sea; to the east is the Pacific
Ocean, and south, the Celebes Sea. T he
archipelago is approximately 1,150 miles
long from north to south, and nearly 700
miles wide from east to west, and has a
total area of 115,600 square miles. Its
coastline totals 14,400 miles, and includes
20 harbors. The Philippine Islands are
compromised of 7,000 islands, of which the
corners are Celebes and the Molucca
Islands to the south, Formosa to the north,
and Borneo to the southwest. Seven of the
Philippine Islands have an area of more
than 1,000 square miles each, and contain
the majority of the population. In order of size, from largest, they are Luzon, Mindanao, Leye, Cebu,
Boho, and Masbate.
Borneo is considered one of the gr eat islands of the world. It is located southwest of the
Philippines, boundedc by the South China Sea to the northwest, and, clockwise, by the Sulu and
Celebes seas, the Makassar Strait, and the Java Sea. Borneo lies southeast of the Malay Peninsula
which juts out from the Malay Archipelago.
Borneo, and Palawan, which is a western Philippine island and the Blabak- Bugsuk, a group of small
islands off the southern tip of Palawan, are the remains of a land bridge that connected them during
the Pleistocene Epoch (1,600,000 to 10,000 years ago). Consequently Borneo’s flora and fauna are
more closely related to Palawan than to those of other islands in the Philippines
166

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #2


.
Ancient land bridges, evidence by the Sundra Shelf; Borneo and Palawan, make it reasonable to
assume that early man may have used them to cross from mainland Southeast Asia to the
Philippines. Determining exactly how the first man arrived in the Philippines, either by land bridge or
across the ocean in sea worthy vessels, is debatable. Concurrently, pinpointing the exact racial origin
of the first man to arrive in the Philippine islands remains open to theory.
Nevertheless, pottery shards derivatives of ancestral languages geography and blood genetics
all help researchers’ discover racial origins. Three races are each found in the insular projection of
lands south of Asia and are revealed as the probable ancestors of the Pacific Islander: The
Australoid, Veddoid, or Negritoid people. Research further narrows the earliest settlers top the
Philippine Island as being of the Negritoid or Veddoid races.
Blood group genetics support that Philippine Negritos descended from late Pleistocene
peoples, called Proto Malays, who inhabited the island of Southeast Asia more then 30,000 years
ago. It is theorized that these people with dark skin and sometimes frizzy hair, traveled by land from
Central Asia. Perhaps the Negritos walked across the ancient land bridge. The Negritos are credited
with bringing the pana (short bow) and later developed the long bow. Although some people have
thought that African Negroid people originally related to the Proto Malays, blood group research does
not support that theory.
In addition to the Negritos, researchers have pointed to the curly hair Veddoid race as being
among the early men to arrive in the Philippines. They are also Proto Malay, and were believed to
have migrated to the islands of the Indonesia from mainland Asia, during the Neolithic Period (Stone
Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age) until about 1000 BC. The Veddoid were related to the Lakai, of the
Malay Peninsula, and the Vedda of Ceylon, India. Some researchers’ state that the Veddoid features
and preference to live on the Philippine mountain slopes tie them to the Mongol race. Inhabitants
among the inland tribes of northern Mindoro, in the west central Philippines, are believed to have
traces of the Veddoid.
The first to arrive in the Philippines by boat were probably Indonesian sailors of the Veddoid
race who have been described as tall, burly, sea-loving and fearless. Additionally, farm and fishing
immigrants described as shorter, darker complexioned then the preceding Indo Aryan group would
have been of the Negrito race.
Research informs us that the Veddoid, Negrito and Austronesian races were all forerunners
of the various Pacific Island tribes. Certainly immigrants continued to arrive in the Philippines in a
series of migrations throughout the centuries. Some think that the first groups of the Malays to the
Philippines were Austronesian. They would have been fro a Mongoloid race whose descendants were
the pagan head hunting tribe of Igorots (also spelled Igorrotes). The Igorots were any of the various
ethnic groups who lived in the mountains of northern Luzon.
Subsequent Proto Malay (Indonesian) invaders usually settled on the outskirts of islands,
while previous coastal Malays fled to other islands or moved inland. Some escaping inhabitants
chose to seek isolation and maintain their culture. Others chose the converse and regardless of how
relatively “pure” a race may have been originally, or which race arrived first, those who remained
without evading invaders, ultimately intermarried and produced a racial blending.
Just as intermarriage produces a blending of races, so does it also result in a greater wealth of
knowledge and culture. This held true regarding knowledge of martial arts. It would be absurd to assume
that an individual left his country and abandoned his experience or knowledge of anything. Warrior arts
and skillful implantation thereof were vital for protection and preservation of an individual or group.
Emigrants needed to be prepared for hostile encounters during travel and for their uncharted futures and
would heavily rely on their marital arts.
167

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #3


Cultures who remained relatively isolated from others also exemplified a passion for the combat
skills. They continued to refine and perfect their knowledge martial arts. The Philippines Islanders,
whether assimilated or isolated, retained, developed and exemplified a highly developed level of martial
skill. Their techniques and weaponry were undoubtedly a reflection of a people who valued, cultivated,
and practiced these warrior arts. As waves of migrants arrived, former island residents could learn from,
or practice against the newcomers.
Its is estimated that around 3000 BC, more groups of Malays, from Indonesia and Malaysia, began
settling in the Philippines. The area of the central Philippines where they initially arrived, is now call the
Visayan (also, Bisayan) region.
Chinese trades arrived adding to what would become a cultural mixture in the Philippines, as well
as eventually all of the Pacific Islanders. They were known to have resided in the Philippines from
approximately 1000 AD.
SHRIBIJAYA EMPIRE
Shrivijava (also Srivijawa or Scrivishaya) tribes of Asian and Indian Hindus migrated into Indonesia
and Malaysia during the 5th and 6th centuries. They began as a Hindu group, call the Brahins, who
migrated from India and arrived in the Palembang, Sumatra around the fifth century. This Brahin group
grew into one of the earliest of the great Asian empire and became the famous Hindu-Malayan Empire of
Shrivijaya. Palembang served as its capital city from the 7th century until the kingdom was overthrown by
the Hindu Majapahit Empire in the 14th century. Meanwhile, the Shrivijayan Empire flourished in the Malay
Peninsula, western Java, and Sumatra through the 9th and the 13th centuries. Shrivijaya based its great
power on successful commercial and maritime endeavors. It dominated international sea trade by
controlling the Strait of Malacca and establishing trade with China and India.
The Srivijayan Empire utilized a combined advantage that facilitated their ability to conquer. They
possessed superior physical height, martial expertise, organization, and bladed weaponry. Balangay
(sailboats arrived with the Malays of this new culture. Each Balangay contained a lager family group, or
social unit, established a new settlement that sometimes grew to be 30 to 100 families. This family was
labeled the barangay (village), or “boat village.” Barangay villages were the first to leave written records
in the Philippines and remained relatively isolated from other barangays.
The Srivijayan colonized Borneo, and then invaded further into the Philippine. Again, those who
didn’t flee were eventually assimilated into the Srivijayan culture. The Taglogs, Ilocanos, Pampangos,
Visayans, and Bicolarios all claim Srivijayan ancestry. The Vijayans are considered to be the second
Malay invaders, and descendants from them were later, to become Christians during the Spanish
occupation.
The Shrivijayan’s influence was significant through the spreading of its cultural wealth. The religion
of the Shrivijayans was Buddhism and Hinduism. They were endowed with knowledge of philosophy, art,
seamanship and agriculture. Additionally, the Srivijayans were equppied with a calendar, a Sanskrit
alphabet and the Maragtas Code (1250 AS) and the Code of Kalantlaw (also Kalantiyaw: 1433 AD) these
codes were among the few written documents remaining from the pre-Spanish Philippine culture, and
both were found on the Island of Panay.
The Philippine Island fell into there division, geographically, and politically: 1) the northern region
was the Luzon. 2) The central region, the Visayas; 3) the southern region, Mindanao. Panay is the
farthest west of the Visayas. Its shape is somewhat triangular and covers an area of 4,446 square miles.
It has a rugged mountain range paralleling its western coast. Between this range and a hilly eastern
protiuon, a fertile plain extends for about 95 miles from the northern to the southern coasts. Deltas of the
Jalaud, Jaro, and Sibalom rivers from broad lowland in the southeastern part of the Panay. There are
many fishponds in the northern and eastern sections of the island. Current inhabitants of Panay are
mostly Hiligaynon (Ilongo or Panayan) ethnolinguistic group, and nomadic Negritos both residing in the
mountains.
168

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #4


KALI
Many Filipinos believe that Panay was the birthplace of kali (kalian), the name for early combative
arts within the Philippine Islands. Kali is a Sanskrit word which literally means black. Inherently, kali was
an art for the preservation of life. It was the mode of combat used to protect an individual
(kalitao/kaliman) his family, village, and culture. It was also a way of life that embodied philosophy,
physical training, combative and restorative arts, literature, and religion. The kaliman confronted death, or
the threat of death, as part of his daily life, until ultimately; he became released from its inherent fear.
The importance of jail was emphasized in kaligayahau (happiness) and kalayon (freedom), words that
denote both the spirit of kali and a kalitao’s perspective of the world. In his confrontation with the darker
side of life, the kaliman came to view and live life devoid of false illusion, empty dreams, and anxiety
regarding combat, old age or long term illness. He could live his life unencumbered from his fear of
consequence. Today, Tuhon Leo Gaje expresses that this worldly view “engendered mutual respect
among and a respect for life itself.” Therefore, the god of violence (Kali) was also one of respect and
peace.
The head of each family unit was a kalitao (kaliman) or martial artist who earned rank or title in
accordance with his fighting skills, etc. The kalitao’s rank was signified by his kali (Bladed weapon). An
individual’s blade would reveal his rank, locale (Barangay, region) and religious heritage (Hindu,
Indonesian, or Moslem). Persons of greater status and authority wore respectively shorter blades, called
danganan, indicating that their marital ability was superior to others. Although there are up to twenty five
or more variations of Filipino bladed weapons, more common are the kris, balasiong, barong, hunong,
kampilan, lahot, and utak.
Kali was named differently, depending on the people and region of the Philippines to which it
belonged. It was 1) Pananandata to the Tagalogs, 2) Kalirongan to the Pangasinenses, 3) Didya or
Kabaraon to the Ilocanos, 4) Kaliradman or Pagaradman to the Visayans, 5) Sinawalli to the
Pampaguenos, and 6) Pagkalikali to the Ibanag.
Each region had a master teacher, or tuhon, who commanded the most respect and honor from
the people. He held the responsibility of passing on the culture of the Philippine Islanders to younger
generations. The tuhon was the leader of a central community bothoan (school). The Filipino culture at
that time included history, astronomy, engineering, medicine, and language, both oral and written.
Languages differed among regions, and even now a number in excess of 300 major dialects, with
Tagalog being the current national language.
The highest in the political power system of the Visayan, central region of the Philippines was a
sultan (Moslem for ruler of a country). He ruled over all the Barangay (village) datus (chiefs). The
predominantly Islamic region of the Philippine islands, Mindanao, had no larger governing political group.
However, one researcher offered that some thought there may have been a time when three sultans the
Philippines.
ANCIENT PHILIPPINE LAW
Philippine judges were consistently easier on first time delinquents, but more heavily penalized
repeat offenders. Gregorio Araneta, a notable Filipino jurist stated, “These primitive laws could compare
very favorably to those of the Greeks and Romans.”
Any judicial system calls for laws to be created for its society. Ancient Philippine law sanctioned
the datu (chief) of each barangay (village) to make the local laws for his village. The datu could receive
assistance from the elders. In instances of creating regional, confederate laws, a superior datu held that
power. The chief datu would assemble lower ranking datus in his home, brief them as to the need of a
law and readily obtain their agreement. The new law would be put in writing and became effective
immediately. A village crier would then travel throughout the barangays carrying and clanging a bell,
while he called “umalahokan!” This noisy attention would assemble the villagers. The, the crier would
announce the new law, and all subjects could beware. From that time on the law went into effect, and
any person who violated it incurred its penalties
169

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #5


JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
Before the Spanish arrival, when the datus (rahahs), tuhons, and sultans were still in power, trials
affecting either criminal or civil case were held in public. The judiciary process was comprised of a
barangay court, consisting of datus, elders and the defendant who represented himself in the trial. The
defendant was required to swear an oath, prior to stating his case. These oaths were taken very
seriously and perjury was almost nonexistent.1 Examples of oaths included, “May the crocodile eat me.”
“May I die if I should tell a lie!” “May the lightning strike me!” “May the sun kill me!” “May no woman love
me!’ or “May the moon frown upon me!”
When two people were in opposition to each other in a trial, each being a litigant, the court
usually moved in favor of the litigant who presented the most proof. If the accused attempted to resist his
sentence, “the judge made himself a party to the cause, and all of them (winning litigant and judge) at
once attacked with full force the resisting party, and execution to the required amount was levied upon
him.
If datus required mediation to resolve a disagreement among residents of different barangays, or
among datus, themselves, then outside datus or elders would arbitrate the dispute. Usually, they were
able to settle the dispute before tribal conflict between opposing barangays would occur, and avoid
further distress or even war.
TRIAL BY ORDER
According to ancient Philippine law, if proof remained insufficient regarding which accused person
was truly at fault, then the court would use a trial by ordeal to determine the guilty party. This was
especially true regarding criminal cases. Religious belief supported the Philippine perspective that the
gods would favor the innocent and condemn the guilty. The court would utilize three ordeals, or tasks, to
which toe defendant(s) would submit, in order to determine the guilty party. They were 1) the river ordeal,
2) the boiling water ordeal, and 3) the candle ordeal.
The ordeals were reminiscent of trials used during the witch hunts of 1692 in Salem,
Massachusetts Bay Colony, in which 19 convicted “witches” were hanged 150 suspected “witches” were
imprisoned. In both the Philippines and Massachusetts, the methods used were extremely unfair, but
ended in a simple conclusion. The three Philippine ordeals were as follows: 1) The river ordeal involved
forcing suspected persons into the river at spear point. The first suspect to surface was found “guilty.” 2)
The boiling water ordeal demanded that each guilty party reach into a pot of boiling water to retrieve a
stone from its depths. The person burned the most severe was determined to be the “guilty” one. 3) In
the candle ordeal, each suspected person had a candle of equal dimension placed in front of him. The
candles were lit and the person’s candle which burned down first, convicted him as “guilty.”
MARGATAS CODE
Many Filipino Scholars and researchers agree that the Margatas Code 2 was written in 1250 AD
by Datu Sumakwel, and is, therefore, also known as the “Sumakwel Code.” 3 Datu Sumakwel was
considered the oldest and wisest of the Borneo datus who colonized ancient Panay, and the same
adjectives are used to describe his code.3 However, Datu Sumakwel chose to name code Margatas,
which is Sanskrit for “Great People.”
The full text of the Margatas Code is as follows:
1. Deliberate refusal to work in the fields or to plant anything for daily subsistence is a most serious crime
which deserves severe penalty.
a. The lazy person shall be arrested and sold to a rich family to serve as a slave and, as such, to
learn the lesson of service and the value of work in the house and in the fields.
b. Later, when he has been trained for work and has come to love it, he shall be restored to his family.
The price paid for him shall be returned and he shall no longer be considered a slave, but a free
man who has been regenerated and desires to live by the fruit of his labor
170

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #6


.
c. If much later it is found out that he has not reformed in any way and that he wastes his time in
idleness, he shall be arrested again by the authorities and sent to the forest. He shall not be
allowed to associate with the rest of the community because he is a bad example.
II. Robbery of any sort shall be punished severely. The fingers of the thief shall be cut off.
III. Only those who can support a family or several families can get married more than once and
have as many children as they can.
a. The poor family cannot have more than two children because it cannot support and properly
bring up in the community a greater number of children.
b. The children who cannot be supported by their parents shall be killed and thrown into the river.
IV. If a man has had a child by a woman and he runs away from her because he does not want
to marry her, his child by this woman shall be killed because it is difficult for a woman without
a husband to support a child.
a. The parents of the woman shall disinherit her.
b. The village authorities shall look for the man, and when they catch him and he still
refuses to marry, he shall be executed before the child of the woman he has abandoned. Father
and child shall be buried in the same grave.
THE CODE OF KALANTIAW
The penal Code of Kalantiaw (also Kalantiyaw) was one of the few written documents to survive
from the pre-Spanish Philippine culture. It was apparently written in 1433 by Rajah Kalantiaw, third chief
of Panay, and then passed on to his overlord, Rajah Besar. It is the second oldest known written code of
the Filipino people and was discovered on the island of Panay in 1614. 4 The Code of Kalantiaw contained
eighteen orders, the first of which was “Thou shall not kill.” It contained principles and values by which to
live (or die) and listed punishments that were then considered appropriate for moral or social
disobedience.
A Spanish priest, Father Plasencisa, wrote that the early judges of the Philippine Islanders “received
testimony orally from both sides,, under oath, according to their usage, which was swearing by the
crocodile, the sun, the moon, and many other things by which they swore.” Another Spanish document
supported Father Plasencia’s findings and added, “all islands have this (type of swearing of) oath(s) in
common, a fact that I have noticed since our coming to his land.”
A range of punishments, depending on the violation, included light fines, up to being cut into pieces and
thrown to crocodiles. Breaches of ancient Philippine religious beliefs resulted in many violations. These
included singing during night walks, killing white monkeys, and cutting sacred trees. The latter explained
why the superstitious Philippine Islander of that day would respectfully say, “excuse me” even when
urinating on a tree.
The full text of the Code of Kalantiaw is as follows :
1. Do not kill, nor steal, nor hurt the aged, for your life will be exposed to the danger of death. All
those who violate this order will be drowned with a stone in the river or in boiling water.
2. See to it that all your debts to the chiefs are readily paid. He who fails to comply will be lashed
with a whip one hundred times for the first offense. If the debt is large, the debtor’s hand must
be immersed in boiling water three times. For the second offense. The debtor will be put to death by
blows.
3. No one should marry very young girls nor marry more than he can take care of, nor be
excessively lustful. He who disobeys this order for the first time will be compelled to swim for
three hours. For the second offense, he will be put to death with the prongs of a spine.
171

HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES #7


4. Follow and obey: Do not disturb the graves in passing before them, wherever they may be,
whether in caves or trees, show your respect for the dead. He who disobeys this order will be
put to death by exposure to ants or be whipped to death with prongs.
5. Agreements for bartering food should be fulfilled to the letter. If one fails to comply with this
order, he will be whipped for one hour. For the second offense, he will be placed among the
ants for one day.
6. Respect holy places, such as trees of recognized worth and other spots. For the first offense,
one will be fined the equivalent of one month’s labor in gold or in honey. For the second
offense, the punishment is five years.
7. The death penalty will be imposed upon the following: Those who kill sacred trees; those who
shoot arrows at night at old men and women; those who enter the homes of the chiefs without
permission; those who kill sharks or striped crocodiles.
8. Slavery for one year will be the penalty for stealing the wives of chiefs; for keeping bad dogs
who bite the chiefs; for setting on fire another’s crops.
9. To be beaten for two days: Those who wing in their night walks; those who kill birds known as
“Manaul;” those who destroy the chiefs’ records; those who deceive with wicked intention;
those who trifle with the dead.
10. It is the duty of the mother to instruct her daughters secretly in sex hygiene and prepare them
for motherhood. Husbands should punish their wives if they catch them in adultery in
flagranti. Whoever disobeys this order will be cut into pieces and the pieces thrown to the
crocodiles.
11. The following will be burned alive: Those who, through force or cleverness, escape and
evade punishment; those who kill too young children; those who try to steal the wives of old
men.
12. The following will be drowned: The slaves who attack their chiefs or owners and masters;
those who are lascivious; those who kill their idols by breaking them or throwing them away.
13. The following will be placed among ants for half a day: Those who kill black cats at the new
moon; those who steal objects; however insignificant, from their chiefs and elders.
14. The following will be reduced to slavery for life: Those who refuse to marry off their beautiful
daughters to sons of the chiefs or hide them in bad faith.
15. Regarding beliefs and superstitions. The following will be whipped; Those who eat the bad
meat of sacred insects or useful herbs; those who injure or kill chickens of Manaul or white
monkeys.
16. The fingers of the following will be cut off: Those who destroy idols made of wood or clay on
their altars; those who break the pick used by priestesses for sacrificing pigs, or who break
wine vessels.
17. The following will be put to death: Those who desecrate the places where idols and sacred
objects pertaining to their gods and chiefs are found. Whoever does his necessities in these
places will be burned.
18. Those who disobey the above orders, if they are elders, will be thrown into the river to be
eaten by sharks and crocodiles.

2 The first version of the Maragtas in the Ilongo Bisayan language was published by Pedro A. Monteclaro
in Iloilo, 1907. For an English translation, see Manual L. Carreon Margatas (Manila, 1943, typescript).
3 Guilliermo Sl Cuino, “El Codigo de Margatas.” El Debate. Manila, February 20, 1938.
4 The Kalantiaw Code was discovered in 1614 in the possession of a Filipino Chief of Panay, acquired by
Marcelino Orfila of Saragoza, Spain, and translated into Spanish by Rafal Murviedo y Samanev. The first
Spanish text of the code appeared in Father Jose Ma Mavon’s manuscript entitled Las Antiguas
Leyendas de la Isla de Negros (written in Himalayan, Negros, 1837-1839). The first English translation
was printed in James A. Robertson’s “Social Structure of and Ideas of Law Among Early Philippine
Peoples,” M. Stephen and H.E. Bolton (editors). The Pacific Ocean in History, New York, 1917, pp. 182-
191. See also Josue Soncuya, Historia Prehispana de la Isla de Panay (Manila 1917), pp. 27-28;

Gregorio F. Zaide, Early Philippine History and Cuture (Manila, 1937), pp. 30-32.
Note: Other historians dispute the ancient laws. They comment, “The Code of Kalantiaw, a well known
code of laws supposedly given by Datu Kalantiaw of Aklan in 1433 is a clever hoax. The hoax was done
by Jose E. Marco, and antique collector from Negros Occidental, who gave the document to James E.
Robertson of the National Library in 1914. It could not be authentic because of its suspicious origin, the
strange writing and modern words in the text, and the un-Filipino harshness of its laws (e.g. flogging,
exposure to ants, swimming for hours).”
The same holds for the Margatas Code, which was taken from the Margatas, a book where the
legend of the Ten Datus of Borneo was taken, is only the imaginary creation of Pedro A. Monteclaro, a

While the Srivijayans still had control in the Philippines, the Chinese made a significant impact on the
culture during the 12th century. Even though Chinese traders had been trading in the Archipelago since
1000 AD, and some had taken residence in the islands, they immigrated by the thousands during the 12 th
century. This was due to the Manchurian invasion of China. Since this was not a first appearance to the
islands of the Philippines, the Chinese were readily accepted into the culture and, significantly, added to
the racial/cultural mix. The Chinese, following suit with previous cultures, introduced their kuntao martial
arts of the Tang Dynasty. These, too, were blended into the Philippine system of martial arts.
