BURTON RICHARDSON'S EXPERTISE
Burton Richardson is known for his pressure-tested approach to functional self-defense to BJJ, MMA, and weaponry arts. An original Dog Brother (Lucky Dog) and Full Instructor under Guro Dan Inosanto, and a Kali Ilustrisimo instructor directly under the great Tatang Ilustrisimo, Burton travels the world teaching people the details and training methods that make the art highly functional in the real combat. But did you know that Burton was also a Karenza (forms) champion? Way back in 1991, Burton took first place in one of the largest FMA championships in the country: the Eskrima Coalition Championship in Stockton, California. His ability to move the sticks and his body fluidly and with purpose also got him into the movie industry where he did fight choreography for 12 feature films. Burton has garnered all his expertise to put together this easy to follow program that will take you from beginner to expert in a fun, engaging progression.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
Anyone who wants to move and feel better now and for years to come from complete beginners to advanced practitioners.
How would being able to move the sticks with phenomenal flow help you? Guro Dan Inosanto says that his instructors touted the “almost magical” qualities of sinawali (double stick) training. Practitioners in their 70’s, 80’s, and even 90’s regularly retain an uncommon degree of mobility. It is a very low impact exercise with an element of resistance training. The motions gently encourage full body motion that leads to greater mobility and balance. Whether you are a young combat athlete or part of our older population, sinawali training can help you stay fit and limber longer.
I AM AN ATHLETE, WHY DO I NEED THIS PROGRAM?
For athletes, coordination carries over to almost all sports, especially because footwork is included with the double stick upper body motions. Do you want to fight better? You need to be smooth, accurate, and have the ability to move wherever you need to in a split second. Properly performed sinawali drills develop these abilities. That’s why many of the best stick fighters have outstanding Karenza. Do you want to have a fun and interesting way to keep your body loose and agile as you age? Knowing a variety of solo sinawali drills will maintain your range of motion and keep your muscles and neural connections firing.
I ALREADY TEACH, WHY DO I NEED THIS PROGRAM?
Teachers who need to demonstrate the art in order to get others interested. A good karenza is always impressive and gives insight to the depths of the Filipino Martial Arts. This program allows you to have a step by step blueprint to sharpen your own skills and teach your students.
I WORK IN THE MOVIE INDUSTRY, WHY DO I NEED THIS PROGRAM?
Every time I have trained a movie star (Keanu Reeves, Brandon Lee, etc.), I start them with sinawali drills to enhance their ability to move in a relaxed yet powerful manner. This really comes across on the big screen, and has proven invaluable to many actors and stunt performers.
Regardless of whether you want to be able to move the weapons with speed, power, and precision for demonstrations, film work, to enhance your fighting ability, or for the all-important health and longevity benefits, this program will work for you.
The program is broken down into three sections.
- First quality movement and a progressive 12-Part Sinawali warm-up that introduces various types of hand and body movement. The set will ingrain many of the most important movements, the ABCs of double stick motion, along with several footwork patterns.
- A wide variety of drills are introduced in the second section.
- The third section introduces exercises that get progressively more demanding. It’s a fun workout that works your mind and body at the same time.
Learning to move the double sticks well will enhance many attributes that are essential for high level martial arts and better everyday living. Hone your footwork and accuracy while developing combat attributes such as speed, power, and coordination,, grace, fluidity, body mechanics, and flow. And it will help you to, as Burton often says, Enjoy Your Training!

The martial arts staff is a weapon that has been used for millennia by fighters worldwide. Human beings have learned to utilize the staff effectively to repel attacks from enemies. The names change depending on the particular art. But whether it is a Filipino Sibat, Indonesian Tongkat, Indian Pandeeran, Ethiopian Donga, Japanese Bo, Chinese Bang, or English Quarter Staff, the practitioners of old had one thing in common: they knew how to fight with the weapon!
In today’s martial arts world, the staff is still popular but the training is primarily for show. Manipulation skills and two-person forms are by far the most common modes of training. But wouldn’t you like to know how to fight effectively with the staff? Just like the warriors of old? That’s where the Battlefield Kali Staff program comes in.
The Battlefield Kali Staff program is a highly organized course that efficiently develops high level, functional staff fighting skills in a safe and fun manner. There are no fantasy techniques, just practical, proven methods presented in a precise teaching progression. Burton Richardson’s foundational message is:
“Knowledge is not power. The ability to apply your knowledge under pressure is true power.”
Learning techniques and maneuvers with the staff is knowledge, but it doesn’t mean you can apply that knowledge against someone who’s actually fighting back against you. Becoming a skillful staff fighter is what the Battlefield Kali Staff program is all about.
Battlefield Kali is a weapons-based fighting method that focuses on pressure-tested techniques, tactics, and training methods. Created by original Dog Brother, Jeet Kune Do luminary, and Black Belt Magazine hall of famer Burton “Lucky Dog” Richardson, the basic premise is that the art must work against a fully resisting partner or opponent. Not just in theory, but through practical application. That means trying to apply the art against a partner who is trying his or her best to stifle your every move. Could you learn to become an effective basketball player without ever playing the game? No. Shooting around is one thing, but dealing with someone who is guarding you and trying to steal the ball is another altogether. In Battlefield Kali Staff, the object is to become good at playing the game.
But isn’t “playing the game” dangerous? It can be if you confuse safe sparring with perilous fighting. Please remember that sparring is not an all out affair like fighting. In a fight, you try to knock out or debilitate the opponent. In sparring you do your very best to play the game without any injuries whatsoever. The sparring environment should be playful, not severe. Therefore, we use protective equipment, padded sticks, and a friendly attitude so that EVERYBODY can play the game and enjoy the process of practical skill. It is great fun and a fascinating study.
The Battlefield Kali Staff program is divided into four levels. Level 1 introduces the absolute basics so that anyone, regardless of experience, can focus on the brilliant basics that are the foundation of functional application. Each successive level builds on the previous level with isolated training so that the student can focus on developing particular aspects of staff fighting. The fourth level is where we put it all together.
This same methodology has proven extremely effective in the Battlefield Kali Single Stick and Battlefield Kali Single Knife programs. Students around the globe have developed into highly skilled fighters just by following the techniques, tactics, and training methods prescribed in the course.
Battlefield Kali Staff is an enriching practice for people of all ages which enhances not only martial abilities, but life skills as well. The lessons learned through becoming an expert staff fighter translate directly into being more effective in all areas of life.
Order Battlefield Kali Staff now and get started! You will find it fun, fascinating, and rewarding.
