I think you have heard from the best with Master Ron's surepoint and Master Tosi with USFMAF knife with kick and punch. I know FCS has been working on some rules with chalk bolos. Some WEKAF groups have knife but it is more like boxing…"

Kris Romero replied to the discussion 'To all FMA practitioners: A need for unified sparring rules for blade-based systems?'"Thank you for your reply Master England. My guro also says there are no winners in a knife fight. 30 seconds with rubber knives with lipstick make this point very obvious."

I have thoroughly enjoyed this site, but haven't contributed much, so I thought I'd give my 2 cents. I really enjoy the different views on this site, and am comforted by the open-mindedness and realism present in many instructors and students. I have read some great posts about sparring in general and the reality of knife "duels", and its got me wondering about how other styles spar. For me, training in a style that is really meant for blades (itak, bolo, sandata, etc), we have to constantly…See More

The acronym is…"
Kris Romero replied to the discussion 'Master Christopher Ricketts has passed away'"This is a great loss to the FMA community. Master Ricketts was very talented and well-respected. Although I never had the opportunity to train with him personally, I know he will be missed dearly. We in the Bakbakan community will surely mourn his…"
Kris Romero commented on the group 'Bakbakan Kali-Ilustrisimo/Sibukan Kali'"My master would know specifics, but there should be a branch of Bakbakan International in Lodi, New Jersey."
