The Instructor

Master Steve Harrop

Steve has dedicated his life to the Filipino martial arts — the flowing, practical fighting systems of the Philippines, where the stick, the blade and the empty hand are trained as one.

He is an officially affiliated member of San Miguel Eskrima under the Filmocan Eskrima family, carrying its teachings, principles and traditions to Plymouth.

Classes are friendly, focused and open to everyone — teens, adults, beginners and experienced martial artists alike.

What we train

The Art of Kali

01

Single & Double Stick

Rattan stick work, sinawali weaving patterns and flow drills that build speed, timing and coordination in both hands.

02

Blade Awareness

Knife defence and training-blade drills taught safely — the heart of Kali and the foundation of everything else.

03

Empty Hand

Panantukan boxing, trapping and locks — the same movement you learn with the stick, translated straight to the hands.

04

Real Self Defence

Practical, pressure-tested skills, awareness and confidence for everyday life — whatever your age, size or fitness.
