Good to know
Do I need martial arts experience to start?
No. Complete beginners start with the Phase 1 curriculum, and people with experience in other styles are welcome too. Many KSE events — such as the January Seminar with its separate Foundations and Advanced tracks — are explicitly open to newcomers.
How do I start training?
Find a KSE school near you on the schools page, then send a trial class request through this website. Your request goes directly to the school you selected, and the school will contact you to arrange your first session.
What does training cost?
KSE schools are run locally — often as part of sports clubs — so fees and membership terms are set by each school. Ask your school directly; they will tell you about trial classes, fees and contracts.
Who founded KSE?
Dakilang Guro Jeff Espinous (1963–2026). He trained at the Inosanto Academy in Los Angeles from 1985 to 1989, founded Kali Sikaran in 1992 and renamed his system Kali Silat Evolution in 2016. Today KSE is carried forward by Kali Silat International.
