Sorry, I just can't resist! Do you use it as a hammer and if so what is your prefered method for driving the nails in? do you shoot them or pound on them with the butt of the gun?marksiwel wrote:my gun toocougartex wrote:I use my knife as a tool.

That is absolutely correct. Though there are many islands making up the Philippines....there weren't that many noted instructors at that time. Remy Presas Sr. would have been another that was teaching in that time period either in Cebu or Manila. Sadly, he died in 2001.Skiprr wrote:Advanced dans, or "degrees," are honorary; and as an indication of fighting ability, pretty much meaningless.

Our instructor retired a couple years back as a 25 yr vet sgt with our agency. He also holds 8th degree black belts in 4+ martial arts. He is disgusting with a knife. He trained with the Philipinos back in the day and it is unreal how dangerous a trained knife fighter is.
I'm intrested to know with whom your instructor "trained with the Philipinos back in the day."
Having lived in the Philippines for six years from 1966 to 1971 and studied under Grandmaster Florentino Pecate, Sr., I can state with certainty there were very, VERY few Americans practicing arnis in the Philippines at that time.

Thank you, Flint, for your important oberservation.
Some day, we'll also talk about why the term "kali" is not indigenous to the Philippines, and is something that appeared only after the '70s and Dan Inosantos's book.
No, it is my pleasure, Flint. As always.flintknapper wrote:Aking kasiyahan... sir!
