What is to give light must endure the burning

April 16 - May 14, 2005

The Texas Kali Challenge is a challenge of self-discipline and determination. It is an opportunity to forge your physical attributes and define yourself as a warrior of action. Do you want to be the one who read about it, or do you want to be the one who did it? Remember the worst thing that can happen is nothing at all.

The Challenge

The challenge is simple: Complete 10,000 power strikes using a rattan stick within a 4-week time limit. But, a true warrior also needs to be able to move. In addition to the 10,000 strikes, you will be challenged to endure perform 10,000 footwork and body mechanic exercises.

Upon completion, you will be recognized as one of the brave Kali Warriors who conquered the Texas Kali Challenge. You will receive a completion certificate and recognition on the Texas Kali Association website.

During the challenge, we will track our progress together and share photos thoughts and experiences along the way.

Goals for the Challenge

The goal of the Texas Kali 10,000 Challenge is to unify Kali warriors in activity regardless of geographic location. It is to unify them by a bond that is created from overcoming boundaries on a journey to mastery. It is to condition those involved to train for success.

Remember that perfection of skill comes with repetition. Getting ahead of your competition requires stamina and endurance. Imagine if your opponent only trains 100 repetitions with his weapon per training session, but you train 500 each session. This is the principle of 500. It doesn’t take long until you are far ahead.

Day 1           your opponent: 100           you: 500

Day 2           your opponent: 200           you: 1000

Day 3           your opponent: 300           you: 1500

Imagine after 10 sessions, 20 sessions, 30. Who will win? You will! That is training for success.

After completion of the Texas Kali Challenge, those who succeed will possess a tremendous momentum for fitness and self-discipline. It is hoped that those up for the challenge will inspire others to test their strengths and adopt a new program of training for success.

Dates - The challenge is scheduled to begin on or after April 16 and the final day is May 14.  You may start after the start date, but you must finish before midnight May 14th, 2005.  Now, let's hammer down!
