KunTao
KunTao is an ancient warrior system that consists of a very direct approach to engaging in a conflict. This of course, makes KunTao extremely realistic, together with being a tremendously practical and efficient fighting art for modern time self-defense use; with various open hand striking methods and low line kicks combined with tearing at the eyes, groin, lips and throat along with nerve attacks and joint destruction. These are followed up with a variety of grabbing methods to a choice of take downs and off-balancing methods that make this martial art very unique. Filipino KunTao incorporates techniques that provide models of self-defense from common attacks including punches, grabs, chokes, pushes, kicks, take downs, weapons and multiple attackers.
