🥋 PART 2 NOW LIVE – CHUCK EPPERSON on FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS + SYSTEM EXPANSIONIn Part 2 of my interview with Mr. Chuck Epperson, we dive into his influential exposure to Filipino martial arts — including Kali and Doce Pares Eskrima — introduced initially by GM Huk Planas and later developed under Grand Master Anthony Kleeman.These studies led to black belts in Eskrima, Eskrido and Pangamont — forming a level of blended integration rarely seen — and one that eventually shaped his functional street-oriented hybrid: Kenpo Kali.We examine the evolution of arts, the necessity of adaptability, and the real-world application arc that comes through principle — not tradition alone.For anyone inspired by Mr. Epperson’s story, lineage and system — you now have the opportunity to connect directly with him.
