Recommended combinations – You can choose whatever strikes and exercises that are related to your style or preference. Below are some suggestions as well as guidance on how to count them.
Striking: Use both arms. Count each strike if you are doing simple strikes. Count each set if you are using a combination, then multiply by the number of strikes in the combination when you are done with that session.
Footwork / mechanics: Count each time you complete a movement or step. Count each time you step into the apex of a triangle.
Quality of strikes – The quality of your strikes is on your honor. Although you can choose whatever type of combination or strike, it is better to do something that is fluid and geared for power. Make sure they are really strikes and strive to improve your body mechanics.
Keep in touch – Leave feedback and track your progress together on our forum. Just look in the general discussion forum for the topic called the Texas Kali Challenge. Encourage others to continue as you tough it out.
Submit photos – Please feel free to submit photos of yourself, your students, your partners and your blisters as you train. We’ll post them on the site. (The best size for me is 230 x 173 pixels in jpg format.)
Group finish – Some of you are ambitious and I know you want to finish ASAP, but please save a few strikes for the last day, so we can all finish together. Remember you are competing with yourself and we are supporting each other as a team.
Challenge Met – Once it is all over, send an email confirming that you completed the challenge. Post it on the forum, and tell us about your experience. We will post your name on the website among a list of those who succeeded like you. We will then email a completion certificate that you can print and hang. Remember this is all on your honor, so it’s up to you and your integrity.

Participation in the Texas Kali 10,000 Challenge means you accept this waiver and release the Texas Kali Association and all its members from liability.
