YOU ARE ELEMENTALÂ
Reclaim Embodied Power, Belonging & Ancestral Wisdom through Filipino Martial Arts
âI want to feel stronger and more connected, but martial arts spaces donât feel like they were built for me.â
âI donât want to go to the gym. I want a practice that feels sacred, intentionalâand mine.â
âI feel the call to reclaim my heritage, but Iâm not sure where to start.â

Filipinx folks have been taught to override our bodyâs wisdom, disconnect from our cultural roots, and define strength through colonial ideas of dominance.
Most movement spaces ignore our lived experiences, nervous systems, and ancestral memory.
Chrysalis Kali Collective Online Membership
Chrysalis Kali Collective (CKC) is a monthly online training space for Filipinx folks reclaiming their strength, reconnecting with their bodies, and honoring where they come fromâthrough the living tradition of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA).
This is a return to your rootsâthrough movement, dialogue, and reconnection.
Inside CKC, we donât just train our bodiesâwe explore the history of Filipino Martial Arts, reflect on how ancestral resilience still lives in us, and have honest conversations about identity, power, and healing. We reconnect through the bodyâbut also through community, cultural dialogue, and the act of remembering together.
Through the Elemental Warrior Path, we train with the forces of:
-
đĽ Fire to reclaim energy, purpose, and healthy boundaries.
-
đ Water to access emotional healing, intuition, and creative flow.
-
đ Earth to build strength, consistency, and nervous system support.
-
đ¨ Air to sharpen clarity, express your truth, and stay rooted in vision.
This is intuitive, embodied learningâguided by natureâs rhythms, rooted in care for the nervous system, and shaped by a remembering deeper than colonization could erase.
You are already enough to begin.
You just need to bring your body, your story, and your willingness to listen inward.
JOIN THE COLLECTIVEâDo I need martial arts experience?â
Not at all. Many of our members were complete beginnersâCKC is built to meet you where you are.
âIâm not âin shapeâ or sure if I can keep up.â
Thatâs okay. This isnât about chasing fitness goals or perfection. Itâs about reconnecting to your bodyâs own wisdomâat your own pace, with care, community, and support.
âI donât have time to add something new.â
The path isnât about doing moreâitâs about doing what matters. Two live sessions a month, and a library you can return to whenever you need itâso you can build strength and connection in a way that fits your real life.
