Panantukan
Panantukan is the boxing component of Filipino martial arts. It consists of upper-body striking techniques such as punches, elbows, headbutts and shoulder strikes. It also includes low-line kicks and knee strikes to the legs, shins and groin. This martial arts is not a sport but rather a street-oriented fighting system. The techniques have not been adapted for safety or to conform to a set of rules for sports competition. Common targets include the biceps, triceps, eyes, nose, jaws, temples, groin, ribs, spine and the back of the neck.
I started practicing the Panantukan within the Inosanto Kali system and obtained the beginner instructor certification in 2017, then advanced instructor certification in 2018, expert instructor certification in 2019 and master instructor certification level 1 in 2020.
