The ESSI curriculum is rooted in Southeast Asian martial arts, integrating the essence of Filipino and Indonesian systems to create a comprehensive and practical training program. One of its key features is the use of an internationally standardized belt ranking system, allowing students to progress step by step from fundamental skills to advanced techniques.

ESSI combines modern training methods with traditional martial values. Beyond technical development, it emphasizes cultural heritage and deeper understanding, offering students more than just physical skills—it’s a complete martial arts experience.

Founded and designed by Guro Evan, drawing on years of training and teaching experience, the system includes empty-hand techniques, forms (kata), partner drills, and weapons training. This well-rounded approach helps students build real-world application and overall martial proficiency.
