About
What is Sikal?
Developed by senior master Guru Ken Pannell, Sikal is a unique fusion of numerous ancient and exotic arts of Southeast Asia. Indonesian Pencak Silat (Si-) and Filipino Kali (-kal) blend to form a seamless and comprehensive art and give the system it’s name “Sikal". From indigenous origins, the arts represented by Sikal are living combat arts that are still used today in modern warrior and protector contexts.
A practical and effective art for protecting life, Sikal provides a diverse spectrum of training and skill development with all ranges and every tool imaginable. Hero Lab offers a safe, friendly, and practical approach to training awareness, movement, martial arts, tactics, ethics, and more.
Ben Sanford is a teacher, or “Guru” of Sikal under Guru Ken Pannell. Guru Ben has been training in martial arts since 1987 and recieved black belt ranks in Tae Kwon Do, Ninjutsu, Pencak Silat, and Filipino Kali.
