Punong-guro Julio Felices
Punong-guro Julio Felices Julio has been learning his family's martial art, Angkán Felices Kaliradman (Filipino Martial Arts) for over 30 years. He started as an eight year old learning from his uncles. Typically for children of this age in the Philippines, he was taught how to to handle swords and knives (balisong)!

Growing up in the Philippines also meant that Julio played Sepak Takraw, Patentero, Tsato, Agawang Buko, etc. - all of these street games teach you speed, agility, coordination, stamina and pretty much everything you might possibly need to become a good fighter.

Growing up in the Philippines on the streets of Manila also meant having to fight for survival and also fend off aggressors - from elementary school all the way through high school...read on here!
 
Katiwalang-guro Nils Keiner
Nils

Hallo, I'm Nils Keiner! I'm 31 years old and I work as a cooling systems technician.
I started with martial arts in the Spring of 1996. First of all I trained Muay Thai with Julio, but then I got interested in Kaliradman. After about a year and a half I trained both Muay Thai and Kaliradman but that became too much so I decided to stay with Kaliradman. What I like about Kaliradman is that it is such a comprehensive and varied system. For example, you don't just fight with sticks, you also learn to fight without a weapon.
My hobbies are motorbike riding, tinkering with my car and taking my dog for a walk.

Among other trophies, Nils has won: First place, weapons forms, 05/01 International German Championships in Wetzlar

Motto: Don't run away, you only die tired.

I have been doing martial arts for over 16 years, having started with Wing Tsun. However, I was always interested in FMA which is why I went to a number of different seminars with a number of different trainers. I first saw Julio in 1996 at a Thai and Kickboxgala in Giessen's Kongresshalle. It took another five years - until 2001 - before I was to see Julio in action as a Kaliradman trainer at a big seminar in BODYSHOCK. Since January 2003 I am a permanent fixture at BODYSHOCK and look forward to training there every week, to the smell of burning wood when the sticks are worked really hard and to the clanging and crashing of swords...
