​Panantukan (Filipino Boxing)​

​

Panantukan (or Filipino Boxing) is the empty hand system of the Filipino Martial Arts. Sometimes called “dirty boxing” by combat athletes, students learn to strike any part of the body from a variety of angles, using unexpected and ingenious defensive moves along the way. It’s an art unlike any other and a great workout too! As a striking art, Panantukan has been strongly influenced by Western boxing. Although we train safely, you will quickly recognize the self-defense applications of this art.

​

We also use elements of Indonesian Silat within our Panantukan syllabus in particular Maphalindo Silat from Guro Dan Inosanto. 

​

Silat utilises sweeping and throwing with joint locking and control positions and blends seamlessly with Panantukan.
