ALI is an ancient Filipino art of self-defense which was originated and developed by the Filipinos several hundred years before the coming of the Spanish to the Philippines. KALI is also known as ARNIS or ESKRIMA. KALI consists of different fighting forms with the use of different weapons; the single stick, double sticks, sword and dagger, dagger and dagger, and empty hands. Aside from these weapons, KALI also uses the Kama (sickle) and the Gonzo (hay hooks) which are one of the favorite weapons of COMJUKA. KALI was the martial art that made the Americans invent the Colt .45 Automatic, just to stop a jurementado, a Filipino Muslim skilled in the art of KALI, from killing American soldiers during the Filipino- American conflict of 1900 in Mindanao island before the two countries had been allied. KALI has hundreds of styles in the Philippines and is practiced throughout the country in Luzon Island, the Visayan Islands, and Mindanao Island. Each province has its own style of self defense in KALI. Some of the styles are named after the founder, others after the place where the style came from such as Toledo style, Batangas style, Pangasinan style, Bohol style, Cebu style, and the Pampangan styles in Pampanga, a province in the northern island of Luzon where COMJUKA was developed and practiced. COMJUKA, meaning Combat-Judo-Kali, was changed to Combat-Judo-Karate during the time of the Japanese occupation in W.W.II. The Filipinos did this so that the Japanese would allow them to continue to teach the art. COMJUKA had been practiced secretly and handed down father to son for hundreds of years by the Pampangoans until the Japanese occupation. COMJUKA is now returned to its original meaning Combat-Judo-Kali by Tuhon (Grandmaster/Founder) Ruby as the forefathers of COMJUKA had intended it to be. The supreme Master and Director of COMJUKA in the Philippines had a trusted student to whom he passed on his knowledge. This student was a Grandmaster. He imparted his knowledge of COMJUKA only to selected students that he put his trust and confidence in. Among his selected students was Gaudiosa Swanby, who is now Tuhon (Grandmaster/Founder) Gaudiosa Ruby of the COMJUKA-KALI systems. Tuhon Ruby has trained in the art of COMJUKA rigidly under the Grandmaster in Pampanga for many years until she mastered the art and was commissioned to promote and propagate the art of COMJUKA to people with good moral character for the purpose of self defense, self discipline, self confidence, and to promote good health. Tuhon Ruby then founded the art in America and developed forms and a system of minimum requirements for each belt ranking and thus, earned the title of Grandmaster/Founder. Tuhon Ruby has taught the Security Police and Hand to Hand Combat Course at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines, at two military bases in West Germany, in Cheyenne, Wyoming., Aberdeen, Tacoma, and Ft. Lewis, Wash., Titusville, Florida., Andrews AirForce Base, Maryland, and Wichita Falls, Texas. Tuhon Ruby was proclaimed the Queen of Filipino martial arts by Grandmaster Leo T. Gaje in El Paso, Texas, 1989. Tuhon Ruby is a member of the National Kali Association Of the Philippines and LAMECO Eskrima Intl., headed by Tuhon Edgar G. Sulite, author of three books on the Filipino Martial Arts, they are, "The Secrets of Arnis", "The Advanced Balisong - The Filipino Butterfly Knife", and "Grandmasters of Kali, Arnis, and Eskrima". Tuhon Ruby’s school is the headquarters for the United States Kali Association Incorporated. Tuhon Ruby is currently teaching the Pampangan art of COMJUKA, the art of LAMECO Eskrima, and Laban Tulisan in Texas. She has received permission from her masters of LAMECO Eskrima, Edgar Sulite, and Laban Tulisan. Ner Reodica, Jr., to add their arts to her COMJUKA school.
