NAME: Fredrik Johansson
KSI RANK: Katulong Guro
Trains at: KSI HQ in Gothenburg and whatever place is available
Has trained Kali Sikaran since: 1994
First FMA Instructor: In 1994, I met a person handing out various weapons from the trunk of his car in a back alley in Göteborg, this person turned out to be Johan Skålberg and has provided me with most of my FMA experiences and knowledge and I’ve managed to stick around since then.
Started to train Kali Sikaran because: FMA & Kali Sikaran provided me with a full set of weapon and empty hand curriculum, but especially since training was a lot about concept and applying these, not individual techniques.
Favorite part of Kali Sikaran: Used to be single stick, which I love to spar with both in soft and harder forms.
Strives to be better in: Improving on my weak technical sides, Sikaran especially, becoming a more all-round technician and fighter.
I choose to train Kali Sikaran because: I consider Kali Sikaran to provide me with almost everything I am interested to train in and I can make practical use of.
Teaching philosophy: “Make it your own”
Future plans in KSI training: Open a club of my own.
Competition experience: Doce Pares World Championship. Full contact competitions.
Favorite quote/motto: Grandmaster Simba: “Shut up and train”.
