It describes various festivals and street processions in honor of St. Michael, whom I have heard called the "patron saint of eskrimadors." These take place in Iligan, on the northern coast of Mindanao. Just curious whether these festivals occur in other areas of the Philippines, particularly Cebu? There is also a link to a nice photo gallery on the bottom of the page.

I discovered it a few month ago and it looks very different from the more "modern" escrima styles l used to practice. There seem to be a great emphasis on forms, footwork and concentration exercises (actually during 3 weeks I only learned this things) and training is quite tough (like you don't dodge it, you take it...). My Pinoy friends told me it is a very old style, actally they said it is traditional Arnis. I wonder if somebody could give me any information about this system (history, Grandmasters, ...)? Is it also practiced outside the RP ? If this is the case I would be glad to be in touch with other players of Cinco Terro especially in the UK or France. Thanks in advance, Mabuhay ang Philippines.

The de-mime utility of our list strips off any and all mail attachments. Thus any attachment that may appear to come from our list did not and cannot come from us. In any event, I recommend that you do not open it. Personally I do not open any mail attachment from anyone without first running it thru an up-to-date virus checker. The latest round of spams -seems- to be coming from Europe. Ray ===================================================================== This is a very new game This game is my first work. You're the first player. I wish you would enjoy it. --__--__-- Message: 6 From: Ray Terry To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net (Eskrima) Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 12:15:18 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Eskrima] Binas Dynamic Arnis Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Binas Dynamic Arnis by Mark Wiley During an intimate discussion with Professor Herminio Binas, one cannot help but to feel his genuine love for all. The Philippine art of Arnis is a vehicle for personal development. This growth is exemplified in the metamorphosis that has occurred in Professor Binas over the past seventy-odd years of his experience. In his teens he liked to compete in challenge matches with other renowned Arnisadores. During his early adulthood he was responsible for the capture of war criminals as a member of the Philippine Constabulary. He also instructed the Philippine military in his method of boloplay. In his senior years, Binas has abandoned the thought of Arnis as an offensive fighting art and looks to it solely as a means of self-preservation on many levels. Professor Binas is best described as possessing an idealistic nature. As such, some individuals of lesser personal development have mocked his enthusiasm and life's philosophy. Binas, at the age of 81, has a wisdom that only seventy plus years of practical martial experience could produce. He has been witness to an abundance of violence and death, he has also felt a great deal of love and respect. Within Binas' extended family, one finds doctors, nurses and accountants. Herminio, though having never completed high school, is a recognized professor of Arnis, an art and science in which he excels. In fact, in 1986, Professor Herminio Binas was certified as the "grandmaster consultant" by the Negros Occidental Arnis Federation and the National Arnis Association of the Philippines. Professor Herminio B. Binas, Sr. was born in Iloilo, Philippines in 1913. As a young boy he practiced Japanese Karate. After three years of dedicated training, he found himself incapable of defending himself against the weapon wielding Arnisadores so common in his barrio. This realization was actualized by a number of skirmishes that ended in his defeat. The last of which found the young Binas laying face down on a dirt road with a group of boys relentlessly beating him. Frustrated and disillusioned with the apparent rigidity and limitations of the traditional martial art that the practiced, Herminlo, age thirteen, picked up a stick and dagger for the first time. He began to improvise. Over the next ten years, Herminio continued to develop and perfect his method of Arnis. Like many provincial Filipinos, Herminio was never at a loss when naming his art which has been known by such names as Maharlika Dynamic Combat Martial Art: Philippine Setting, Supreme Dynamic Combat of the Philippines, Binas: Filipino Perfected Style, Binas Supreme Dynamics and finally Binas Dynamic Arnis. With the advancement of his system and a mass of practical experience supporting it, Herminio became notorious throughout Luzon and the Visayas. In 1941 he was called on to act as an instructor to the Bob Battalur of Negros Occidental, Philippines. He served under Lieutenant Deonisio Orille of the Silay-Saravia Hawaii-Philippine Company. The Dynamic Arnis system of Herminio Binas is reminiscent of the classical espada y daga styles of Luzon, northern Philippines. These classical sword and dagger systems, as mentioned earlier, evolved from Kali by way of the Spanish rapier and dagger styles. The primary are of study in Dynamic Arnis are the espada (sword), solo doble baston (single and double sticks), espada y daga (sword and dagger), baston y daga (stick and dagger), daga (single dagger), mano-mano (unarmed combat) an the bayonet. Heavy cutting and whirling strokes are the characteristics of Professor Binas espada y daga techniques. Tadyakan (footwork) encompasses the atrakada abierta (side-step), retirada (pendulum step), and lastiko (weaving and pivotal movements). The weapon techniques are taught in four geometric patterns: the multiplication sign (x), the plus or addition sign (+), the circle (o), and the infinity sign, also called "figure eight". Defensive maneuvers encompass the techniques of pasunod at salag (passing and parrying), hiwa derecho (direct strikes), sangga payong (umbrella block), and sangga cruzada (crossing block). The training of these skills consists of one person initiating a continuous attack while the other employs the appropriate methods and combination of footwork, defense and counter striking maneuvers. The empty hands are trained in the principal skills of disarmada (disarming) of the stick, sword, dagger and bayonet. After effectively disarming an opponent, intricate trankadas (lock and control techniques) are employed to subdue the opponent. When pitted against another unarmed opponent, techniques aimed at immobilizing the head are used as a means of immediately controlling the opponent. As a result of numerous unarmed confrontations against weapon-wielding assailants, it is no surprise that disarming techniques have become the hallmark of Binas Dynamic Arnis. Through constant study, analysis and practical experience of possible attacking methods, Professor Herminio Binas has perfected three principal methods of instantly disarming the armed opponent. He terms these methods as lightning disarming (kidlat agaw), blast disarming (bugso agaw), and self-rebounding disarming (katawan agaw). Lightning disarms are socalled after the speed which is required to effectively insert or intertwine your weapon or arm around that of an opponent to effect the disarm; the blast disarm is socalled because the quick, jerking motion of the Arnisador's arms in opposite directions "blasts" the weapon out of the opponent's grip; the self-rebound or body disarm is so-called because you use the body of your opponent to disarm his own weapon, hence injuring him in the process. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues are available via ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com.
