Martials Arts School in Greenville SC
Kali Majapahit (KM) is a Filipino Martial Arts style with influences from Pencak Silat, Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Chinese Wing Chun and Tai Chi, and Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do. It also has a “Health & Lifestyle” aspect coming from our founders’ studies in Nutrition, Acupuncture, Psychology, Posture Correction, Osteopathy, Qi Gong and Meditation.
KM is taught to the general public and law enforcement all over the world, in Singapore, Japan, Tahiti, the Philippines, Indonesia, France, Germany, Finland, Belgium, New Zealand, the Netherlands and the US, as well as through our Online Training Academy.
KM was founded by Fred and Lila Evrard who are both professional Martial Arts instructors with more than 40 years of experience.
Fred is a Close-Quarter-Combat and Knife-Defense instructor for the French Special Forces and a Counter-Terrorism consultant for the French Ministry of Defense.
