The system is rooted with the teachings of the late Manong Edgar “Butch” Atienza, a renowned Filipino martial arts practitioner in the New York City area. Manong Butch taught the art to his three sons: Allain (Bong) Atienza, Carl Atienza, and Darryl Atienza. In those days, the Atienza family did not train in the art for sport or recreation. Rather, their primary directive was to train in order to survive the violent nature of the street altercations they encountered on a regular basis. The methods of Atienza Kali were born in an environment where facing armed multiple attackers on the street was a regular occurrence in their neighborhood. Atienza Kali specializes in the functional combative use of blades of all different shapes and sizes, which include:-Swords-Machetes-Knives of different lengths (for projectiles and for close combat)-Bow and ArrowIn addition, Atienza Kali training also includes the use of improvised weapons such as the Trapo (flexible weapon with weight).
