hey guys, dunno if this will interest you, but at last (if u guys still remember me inquiring for kali training place/instructor ).. am training under GM Sanchez, he's teaching me first Lightning (sori i forgot the complete style name , ill check it after i post this, sori guys ), then he'll teach me modern arnis, kasilagan & cinco terros as well.. :love: wish me luck guys, u also can give training tips, i have hit my head twice :bang: already during training, maybe my arm is not yet used to handling stick at this point
Well Done "Duck" No really, you will soon stop hitting yourself, beleive me. You would not beleive how many times I hit myself in the head when I first started . The next stage is taking out a few ceiling light bulbs and a few ornaments with the occasional glass window for good measure. The bulb company made a fortune out of me in the early years, still makes a few bucks from me now too. Great to see your now training, I am sure you will be hooked like the rest of us. If I'm right the full title you were looking for is Lightning Scientific Arnis (GM Benjamin Lima's style). a great style. Good luck in your training although I am sure you wont need it with such a well respected Master. I am pretty sure too you will have lots more to talk about. Best regards Pat
Hi Pinoy I had the great pleasure of briefly meeting GM Vic Sanchez last December, and he is not only a very respected Grandmaster, but also an extremely humble and polite gentleman of FMA. The system is Lightning Scientific Arnis, and I am sure that you will greatly enjoy training with GM Vic. If you get the chance, try to train with Master Bert Labaniego of the espada y daga branch of Lightning Scientific Arnis. He is also a very senior studentof the late GM Ben Luna Lema. I managed to train with Master Bert, and he is a highly skilled exponent, and a very humble gentleman. Drop me a PM if you want contact information for M Bert! Good luck in your training. Very best regards Peter
hey pat, tnx for the tips & moral support :Angel: . Guess I wont think much of the bulbs, we're practicing outdoors, its a sports complex to be precise, I guess I just have to watch out hitting joggers . Coz my palm perspire a lot, I could even hit GM when he observe & stand infront of me .
hi pete!! hey thanks for reffering me other great instructors at the time am looking for one. I have talked w/ Sir Orly re Master Bert, I guess, I have not met them because, their training place is too far from my place/work place. As of now, I think I'll finish my training first w/ GM Vic before I see Master Bert. We are training in Rizal, near my place, also I get/got a flexible schedule w/ GM Vic, thats a great factor coz am working on a shifting schedule. Anyways, Ill try to see Master Bert if i could get a chance thanks pete
