Tribal Leader Program

The Tribal Leader Program is offered by the Martial Arts Research Institute and by the Arnis Kali Escrima Martial Arts Federation Philippines.

For 2022, the Tribal Leader Meetings and Workout will meet
on the last Saturday of the month.

How to become a Tribal Leader:

~ You must be a "Black Belt", "Instructor" or a "Martial Arts School Owner".

As a Tribal Leader you may teach Filipino Martial Arts (Arnis Kali Escrima) at your institute with recognition and support of the Martial Arts Research Institute and the Arnis Kali Escrima Martial Arts Federation Philippines, and work up to full instructor (Guro).
Registered Tribal leaders are required to attend meetings and workouts three times a year. If a Tribal leader misses a workout they must make it up through a private lesson.
