It is on Guro Dionaldo’s website at www.warriorcraft.com. Train Hard it is the Way!

Financially, once you get there everthing is so cheap that it is almost free. (a friend who lives there told me that a cab driver had ripped me off when he charged me 40pence!!) The two obvious places to check out are Manila and Cebu, though you will still have to do some detective work to find places to train in FMA (not tae kwon do or even BJJ which are both plentiful) In Manila check out Alex Co's shop on Canal St in ChinaTown (his main shop is in the Virra Mall in Greenhills). Alex can point you in the direction of anyone worth meeting. Obviously in Cebu there is Doce Pares. Don't worry about your (relative) lack of experience. The styles are all different, so you might have to start unlearning things. Out of interest, where do you train in London?

Is there any particular discipline or style you want to gravitate towards as far as your studies ? This would help to narrow down your search and well as give you a better figure for what you might have to spend. The PIs are a huge place and you could spend a lot of time and money searching and wandering around. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

But to that affect he was just a man who did extrodinary things. As a practioner, I feel that MR. Lee has opened up the culture to new things, simplified many of the daily routines and made it more effective. As an actor, I honor him for all his hard work and sacrifices he made just to get to where he is, and as an Asian American, I also thank him for opening the door (or most likely kicking it) to all future Asian American Actors who doesn't have to be a martial artist to be an actor. Mr. Lee is to my opinion a great martial artist, a great actor but most of all a great man...

If I had enough time Kali Dumog is something I've seen little off (Not sure if it is incorporated with weapons or purely for empty hands?). This is probably too vague. I am aware of the different styles of escrima but does the variety extend to Pangamut? Or am I wrong when I associate escrima as the weapon system as opposed to a complete style of FMA i.e.With grappling, pangamut etc?

I doubt you'll find any Inosanto-LaCoste blend in the Philippines. You might find the FMA FAQ (see the website) can help with some of your questions.
