Founder of Kali America.com
Grandmaster Manuel R. Taningco
Hello – My name is Manuel Taningco and I am passionate about my martial arts learning, training and coaching. I started when I was 8 years of age. I am a STUDENT for life, learning, training, fine tuning, researching and learning again. As a former fighter, and competitor, I gained insight in coaching and love every minute of it from focusmitt works, to sparring partner, stickman, close quarter combatives and to blade training since teaching from 1975 to now.
My mission is to have Kali America become a household name among martial artists globally to help preserve my heritage of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) and to keep my family flame of knowledge alive.
