The classes they run
“My son and I are just starting out in classes with Will for Kali.”
Other martial arts here
“I was glad to find this real and practical self defense art that teaches the student to use stick and blade weapons or empty hand combat based on the same applications.”
What members say
“We’ve taken one class so far and it was great instruction on how to use one signal stick.”
“Training is also done in the real world, because in reality there is no air conditioning, gym mats or flat terrain.”
“The investment Will has in his students can be directly correlated to the outcome of their performance which also provides stellar results.”
“For the price and amount of training you can get every single week, it's a really good deal.”
From the reviews
Will is a great instructor. He is motivated to train others, himself and remains disciplined. The people you train with don't have attitudes, everyone is friendly and eager to help each other to become better at Kali. There are seminars every few months where other practicioners come from around the US to attend.
Will is an extremely talented, passionate and professional Kali practitioner. His skill level, dedication to the art and knowledge on the principles, teachings, history and blade culture is second to none in his respective area.

These Kali classes are a blast! The classes fly by, and it's easy to forget that you are getting in shape and learning the good tenets of martial arts. The instructor, Will, is top-notch and does an excellent job of explaining material step-wise so that you slowly build up your skills.
New to kickboxing? Start at Kali Center Florida- Pensacola
Kali Center Florida- Pensacola comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Kali Center Florida- Pensacola
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
