Video Clip Ideas

Through the years, I have had several requests by my students to make some videos for them. Like many other instructors I have resisted this endeavor for a variety of reasons.

I have several projects in mind, but I welcome ideas and input regarding areas that others would be interested in - ie. knife, stick, grappling, etc. Also, any suggestions on music. Do… Continue

GARIMOT HILOT (Filipino Healing Arts)

Hilot Introduction



Hilot, the Filipino healing arts, are the oldest and the most secret arts in the Philippines. Due of the secrecy of the arts, very rarely do Hilot Masters teach this art in the general public. Most Hilot in the Philippines are either learned from relatives, through hands on practice, or inherited from their forfeathers, passing the arts from one generation to the next. Anywhere you visit in the Philippines, most Filipinos are exposed to the curative value of Hilot.… Continue

Tournaments are a great way to meet new people, new styles, and different ideas. If you are a gun collector and all you do is polish your guns, what good are they in a time of defense? How do you know they will fire? If you collect guns and just cleaned them on a regular… Continue

This was the first product of human ingenuity dating back millions of years, and an act that led to man’s dominance over animals.



The balisong, or Filipino butterfly knife, is one… Continue
