Some words from Teachers, Friends, and Students about the Bay Area Kali Group, the facility, and Christopher Harley (the Instructor).
"I can say, without reservation, that Chris is definitely a man to
always have in your corner. Chris has made it a point his whole life to
learn from exceptional people who strive to excel in the arts of
helping others, saving lives and protecting and defending others
through the warriorship arts and principles. Clearly, because he
himself, is one of those people."
-Joe Lau RN, Human Nature Institute
"Chris has been a close friend and was my main training partner for the past several years, training together several days per week, offering each other guidance and corrections. I think Chris has probably been the biggest reason for my improvement in martial arts over the last several years. Chris has also had a philosophical influence on me. My training with Chris has not only improved the physical aspect of my martial art but has greatly expanded my philosophical knowledge and opinions in regard to the martial arts and their application to life. Chris is also a highly skilled tracker and physical therapist and has taught me about body movement for health. It makes Chris very skilled in the 12th area of Kali: the healing arts. Guro Inosanto has commented on how this 12th area of Kali is often neglected. Not so with Chris. Anyone studying with him will be richer for the experience."
