Panantukan Class (Filipino Boxing)

Mel Corrigan's Kali Group, a mixed martial arts club based in Wigan, is excited to announce the upcoming Panantukan Class (Filipino Boxing) event. This event focuses on the Filipino boxing art, which is also known as the seventh area of Kali. With its origins in the Philippines, it has various names such as pangamut, panantukan, or suntikan.

Panantukan has a rich history of producing Filipino boxing champions and is known for its effectiveness as a form of self-defence. In America, it was named Panantukan to differentiate it from shotokan. The art form has gained influence from renowned figures such as Guro Dan Inosanto, Sifu Rick Faye, and Maphilindo Silat, and the training at Mel Corrigan's Kali Group reflects these influences.

The Panantukan class welcomes students of all levels, from beginners to advanced. The focus of the class is on developing basic punching, defensive, and footwork skills, which create the core of this impact art. The class takes place every Wednesday from 7pm to 8pm.

To encourage participation, there is an exclusive offer available for attendees. For just £10, participants can enjoy a week's worth of classes. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the diverse range of classes offered at Mel Corrigan's Kali Group.

The club has received high recommendations from attendees who have achieved their fitness goals, lost weight, and thoroughly enjoyed the classes offered. The atmosphere created by Mel Corrigan and other members of the club is inclusive and supportive, making it feel like one big family. The positive effects of training extend beyond the physical aspects, contributing to improved confidence levels.

Mel Corrigan, the head instructor at the club, is regarded as one of the hidden martial arts gems in the North of England. Training with him is an opportunity not to be missed. His expertise and guidance make Mel Corrigan's Kali Group a brilliant place to train and learn martial arts.

The club also caters to children, as demonstrated by the growth in confidence and skills seen in a 7-year-old who has been attending for just three weeks. It is a wonderful place for children to develop both physically and mentally.

In conclusion, Mel Corrigan's Kali Group in Wigan is the go-to place for mixed martial arts training. The upcoming Panantukan Class event provides the perfect opportunity to experience the Filipino boxing art.
