MARTIAL ARTS
Training Systems & Instruction
Sifu Salim Badat teaches three core training streams, each grounded in authentic lineage, practical application, and real-world relevance.
Ving Tsun Chinese Boxing
Salim teaches Ving Tsun in the Wong Shun Leung lineage, under David Peterson. This system emphasizes efficiency, structure, timing, pressure testing, and functional combat application, remaining true to Wong Shun Leung’s pragmatic, no-nonsense approach.
Filipino Martial Arts (FMA)
Sifu Salim also teaches Filipino Martial Arts, covering both impact and edged weapons within a tactical framework. Impact weapons are taught through the close-range Askal Balintawak system and the long-range De Campo Eskrima system. Tactical blade training is designed for modern, real-world self-defense, drawing from Filipino Martial Arts and Silat, and refined for contemporary legal and environmental realities. The emphasis is on functionality, adaptability, and survivability rather than sport or choreography.
Tactical & Security Training
In addition to traditional martial systems, Sifu Salim offers professional Tactical & Security Training for security personnel and responsible civilians operating in high-risk or volatile environments.
This training integrates firearms, impact and edged weapons, and empty-hand skills, with a strong focus on close-quarter scenarios, stress management, and decision-making under pressure.
