Some of the Tuhons in Sayoc Kali have been mentioned but I think anyone who has attained that rank in that system is worthy of mention. Also, although young, but IMHO very worthy of Tuhon/Master title; any of the Atienza brothers Guros Carl, Allain or Darryl.
Dont forget and add on the list the LIPING MAHARLIKA MASTERS,,,,NARAPHIL PILLARS are still alive and kicking,,,,GM meneleo estefa MD,sir jun, sir bong , sir noel, sir alex and the rest of the guys, include Masters Romy santos,bambit dulay,villeno brothers, and a group of young guns from LESKAS headed by guro jon escudero , vhir tubera of Arkado...sorry guys if I forgot to mention all of you :bang: :woo: :Angel:
You could add people like Johan Skalberg and Jeff Espinous of IKAEF.. They are very rapidly making a very good name for themselves in europe, with a fine reputation.. They have been around a good while, but i hear their names mentioned more and more these days. also, what about people like Ron Balicki (M.A.R.S) etc? All fine innovaters in the FMA world.. Andy
In my eyes Frans Stroeven is one of the best eskrima teachers. I saw his dvd's and I must say that I was very impressed by his agressive technics combinated by high speed. I hope to visit a seminar of him once...I think it will be a valuable experience
Hello to one and all I feel that unless we are prepared to assess scientifically the mechanica da phisica of each individual GM to order thier worth , we will find that each will have an idiosyncratic unique trait to thier combative minds . I think there is something Holy about 12 grand masters just bieng the 12 . Who really wants the Title of No1 , Just imagine it . p.s , anyone in New Zealand who is interested in training I have established a 1600ft Home for "RapidArnis" In Auckland Under Tuhon Pat O'Malley's saintly patience an guidance , opening the door for stickfighting worldwide and the magic of RapidArnis , more news to come . for the love it all, Clint Jones.
