Everything taught right from the beginning is a science in reflex development oriented. You will learn:Single stickSingle…See More

This is a very good video showing off the sword from Mindanao called the Kambantuli -
This is one nice weapon. The style is very "in-fighting" oriented but thats the type of fighting style I happen to like. I really enjoy working with these short swords of the Kuntao and Silat systems of the Philippines.

This sword is perfectly engineered to for infighting battles. It will easily hack through anything it touches. The Kambantuli is an older sword going back to...

I put together the video of the Jeet Kune Do/Grasppling stuff I learned from the late Sifu Larry hartsell...this is a seminar I taught back in February -
I gave away a lot of good stuff in this video. I hope you folks are entertained by it.

For many years I have been doing Rape and Mugging prevention seminars all over the place. I do them in High Schools, Colleges, womens organizations, corporations, etc. What I show them is an abridged version of Kuntao Dumpag. Due to the vicious content of such a style they seem to like what I show them. Its the way an animal in the wild would actually fight off a predator so it makes sense to the woemn, and the men who do my seminars or my classes. Its quite an unusual fighting…

Is there anything wrong with knowing one style? After all, everyone is involved in martial arts for various reasons, and not everyone's reason is to defeat the other guys style. Martial arts were really created to give the "weaker person" an edge for self defense purposes for the most part. Then again, pride in one style being the best is a very common belief, especially for many martial art old timers. They say you should be able to do one…

Now this is based on knowledge i have acquired during my various Philippine trips over the years.
It is also based on my observations. At this point in my life, I have been there enough times to come to these conclusions.
A lot of the blades that I have on the TFW web site are very rare. We found some of them from some old men on whatever island in the Philippines, others were in my friends family tribe handed down through generations. Others were located in museums in the… Continue

A very interesting fighting method from the Philippines...
Posted on May 1, 2009 at 7:09pm 8 Comments 2 Promotions
In the Philippines, when speaking of what is referred to as the grappling aspects, you will hear words like Buno and Dumog. They mean the same but are in different dialects spoken in the Philippines. Grand Tuhon Leo Gaje refers to Buno having more to do with striking with the hands. There is also Layug from another dialect which means about the same thing. Guro Dan Inosanto uses those words often...so did the late Larry hartsell. Layug is more with the take downs from standing and Kuntzi, the… Continue

Hi Guro Ron,
I'm glad to find you here as well. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make the latest Wing Chun/JKD seminar. But I'm really interested to see what's happening at this Kuntao Camping Trip coming up.
I'm only at the beginning stages with eskrima, but already I've been given some great espada y daga techniques (serrada-abierta). Can't wait for more! I love the espada y daga too, because it's the battle phase of eskrima!
