These three related martial arts styles are all stick-fighting arts from the Philippines.They do teach combat with knives and some unarmed maneuvers(IE:Basic Maneuvers),but generally the styles rely on 30" wooden sticks as weapons.The primary forms are Muton(two sticks),solo baston(single stick) and espada y daga(one stick and one knife).Kali practitioners tend to use knives more then practitioners of the other two styles.There are dozens,if not hundreds,of substyles of these styles.A practitioner is known as an estoccador or bastonero.

In order to practice any of these styles,a character must know the Blunt Weapons Technique.To practice Kali he must also know the Blades Technique.

The statistics for this style can also be used for Jojutsu,the Japanese art of fighting with the jo,or short staff.A practitioner of Jojutsu is known as a Shijo.

Schools:None of these styles are taught widely in the United states,although they are still very popular in the Philippines.However,there are schools in many larger cities.

Members:These styles tend to require a lot of practice to learn well,so they generally attract disciplined students.
