Our Philosophy
The World can only change when people change.
In 1998, following a lifetime dedicated to the Martial Arts, Fred Evrard founded Kali Majapahit (KM), a holistic Southeast Asian Martial Arts system. The first 2 KM schools were opened in Moorea and Tahiti. In 2006, after a 4-year trip around the world for further studying fighting arts and traditional medicines, Fred and his wife Lila, opened their 3rd KM school in Singapore.
Today, KM is represented in Singapore, Philippines, Japan, Tahiti, France, Germany, New Zealand and the US.
The philosophy behind Kali Majapahit is that Martial Arts training is not only about physical skills, focus and self-confidence, but also about reaching challenging goals, and building up our health and energy level.
Every class will emphasize 3 aspects of the Art : Self-defense / Martial Arts culture, Health (including nutrition, posture correction, breathing, etc.), and Personal Development. A comprehensive curriculum makes our very efficient and unique Martial Art accessible for everyone.
Our System
Kali Majapahit Martial Arts was founded in 1997 and opened its current headquarters in Singapore in 2006 where it has been running programs for adults and children as well as special programs for private organizations, government and law enforcement agencies. With academies in Singapore, USA, Japan, Germany and New Zealand, Kali Majapahit has gained recognition as an efficient self defense system and practical learning curriculum for all levels.
Our Founder, “Guro” Fred Evrard, has been a martial artist for more than 33 years, teaching them for about 20 years, and owns 14 Black Belts and Instructor certificates in different styles of Martial Arts. He is also a CQC (Close Quarter Combat) instructor for different Law Enforcement Agencies all over the world and a former Red Beret (Paratrooper) in the French Army.
