I have been a student of the Kali Escrima FMA for over 3 years now under Guro Arnold Filimino in Marietta Georgia, Progressive Source Martial Arts. He is a student under Guro Paul Vanuk, Ron Balicki and the great Guro Dan Inosanto. I really enjoy the challenges of learning the stick and dager as well as the rich history and culture behind FMA. It totally Rocks!
