Panuntukan (Filipino Boxing) is the empty-hand boxing / kickboxing component of Filipino Martial Arts. Many of the techniques and movements are derived from Kali knife system. It can look very similar to Muay Thai at first, but is more "street oriented" than his Thai cousin.

The art primarily consists of upper-body striking techniques such as punches, elbows, head-butts, shoulder strikes, and groin punches, but it also includes low-line kicks and knee strikes to the legs, shins, and groin. Some schools (like us) choose to add the high kicks, sweeps and take-downs technics of Sikaran into their Panuntukan.

Common striking targets include the biceps, triceps, the eyes, nose, jaws, chin, temples, the back of the neck, the ribs, and spine, as well as the "soft tissue" areas in the body. Panuntukan prefers parries and deflections over blocks, as it is not known whether or not the opponent has a bladed weapon.

Since it is not a sport but rather a street-oriented fighting system, the techniques have not been adapted for safety or conformance to a set of rules for competition, thus it has a reputation as "dirty boxing".

In our school, students can choose to complement their Kali training with the Panuntukan class (even though Panuntukan is already included in our Kali program), for more cardio and sparring training. Some may even want to do Panuntukan only, even though it is recommended to have a complete view of the Kali Majapahit system.
