iKALI Online Student Curriculum

For many of you, this was a missed opportunity because there was a lack of:
- Time
- Local Quality Instruction
- Money

Can I gain Rank from these classes?
The World Kali Association is the sanctioning body that recognizes the rank of any iKALI student. The promotion of the rank is typically assigned via classes and test promotions at a local Filipino Kali Academy, You have the opportunity to receive rank promotions through the FKA Virtual Student program and receive a "Virtual Rank" for your module. Upon completing a module, you will be moved into a new syllabus of curriculum. We encourage you upon reaching the end of Level 1 Module 4 you find a local FKA to convert your virtual rank to an official rank.
