any martial art style goes well with acrobatics, if your opponent cant catch you then he cant beat you. mark dacascos is a great martial artist & is very good at acrobatics.all though he isnt fully trained in kali he has studied it. check out his movie drive.
p.s im sure in his younger years guru dan inosanto could do acrobatics with his eskrima sticks.

Don't know why it couldn't but it may be difficult holding onto your sticks while you're trying to do all that acrobatic stuff. Not to mention the other Kali artist would probably be beating you to death while you're busy tumbling around.
You might check out XMA, they do a lot of acrobatic martial arts.

Kali and acrobatics are a bit pointless put together.

Not really. Kali is primarily a blade fighting art, the sticks are only used during practice for safety purposes(wouldn't wanna accidentally cut off your partners arm in practice would you?) and for competition. Ever try doing a somersault while holding a pair of machetes in both hands? Great recipe for losing a limb. That's why.

No, because whilst doing a cartwheel you get kicked in the 'nads.
Kali's 'acrobatics' relates simply to rolls, breakfalls and recovering a weapon that's on the ground - no extraneous moves.

any acrobatics is not practical in any style. kali is based on the situation and fluidity in movement from applying stick techniques to hand techniques.
besides you don't want an accidental stick up the butt from a failed flip

acrobatics doesnt go well with any practical fighting system and this is coming from someone who practices capoeira
it may look cool if may help improve balance but as for actual fighting it has no use

why acrobatics,stupid question.kali being a [real] fighting system tends to be grounded in what is effective,what works,the most efficient moves.wing-chun ,no acrobatics,systema likewise,krav maga,same.gymnastics,acrobatics are for showmanship not practicality.

If they did it it would only be for show. Kali is a very reality based system.

often i might say the Sabres as I stay in Buffalo yet after seeing them get overwhelmed by way of the Wild the day gone by 5-a million, i've got gotta say that they had a exceptionally sturdy and balanced team, optimistically the Sabres can shake that loss off alongside with the single from this evening from the Devils and bypass directly to win the cup!
