It'll be taught by a guy called Zainal Abidin Sheikh Awab (sp?) who I believe comes very highly rated. I'm not getting much from Google. Anyone know much about him? All I have heard is that he has a requirement of his students that they study two years of thai prior to training with him. He comes from a part of Malaysia close to Thailand, and as a result his silat works very well to counter muay thai. Thanks in advance Julian --------------------------------- Yahoo!

There is more info about him at: http://www.zhong-ding.com/za.html Yesterday I was talking to a friend who has trained with him in Malaysia (the guy on the right in the photo) who rates him very highly. Curiously, he has never taught a seminar before - only ever a few students at his house. If anyone is interested, there will also be a seminar on Sunday in Nottinghamshire - there are details on the Zhong-Ding website.

To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] guro Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I was the one who inform them about Guro lives in the mountain thats according to an unwritten story about a martial artist who lives in the mountain. specifically not an eskrimador. GURO as it is translated in Tagalog. TEACHER as it is transalted in English. MAESTRO/MAGTUTUDLO as it is translated in CEBUANO. An old story devulged that GURO/MAESTRO/MAGTUTUDLO lives in the mountain and cave in which far away from lot of people. they tend to do it is because of thier AMULATE, ORACION, ANTING ANTING. No eskrimadors lives in the mountain and cave exactly. No need to live in the mountain and cave to become an eskrimador. Most of the eskrimadors long time ago depend on anting anting and agimat or amulate or yam yam better known as oracion. but the real amulate and agimat is be yourself. No guro in nipa hat. no guro in a house. you cannot call guro or teacher to your father. if its a sign of respect when inside your home, you cannot call guro to your father but FATHER! But if you consider your father as your personal mentor perhaps it could be.it depends upon on you. If you prefer to call guro to an FMA INSTRUCTOR there's no argument on that. If we want it as a sign of respect why not SIR? its easy to understand right?. but its already there. lets leave it that way. GURO if its in tagalog. If an FMA INSTRUCTOR PREFER TO BE CALLED GURO it means that he's mentor is TAGALOG.

Doors open at 8:00 a.m. Admission is $10.00. Call: (323) 350-8500. Nuking the martial arts scene across the planet is Filipino Stick Fighting, the ancient and deadly martial arts from the Philippines. We see it in movies and video games, and in some parts of the world, militaries integrate it into their armies. Now you can see this ferocious fighting art at the Pakamut International Association's "4th Annual Open Full Contact Stick Fighting Championship," featuring their main event, "Best of the Best" and this year's new division, "Masters' Challenge." According to Long Beach's PIA Founder and President, (and descendant of Chief Lapu-Lapu), Master Felix Roiles expects his event will draw master fighters from coast to coast. This once hidden martial arts evolved from the thousands of tribes that first inhabited the island nation arriving from the Sunda landmass and the Malay Archipelago 30,000 years ago. With over 7,000 islands making up the Philippines, multiple tribes developed. To compete for survival, both men and women were taught to fight to protect themselves against attacks from other villages and from outside invaders. There were 3 big waves of foreigners that contributed to the Filipino Martial Arts of today. The first wave was in the 2nd Century when South China Sea traders introduced their combative style to the islanders, followed by Arab missionaries in the 14th Century, and ending in the 16th Century with the Spaniards. Best known for aiding in the resistance of the Spanish invasion, Filipino Stick Fighting was used to kill Ferdinand Magellan and most of his Spanish crew during "The Battle Of Mactan" in 1521, when Filipino resisters led by Chief Lapu-Lapu, used bamboo spears and daggers against the well armed Spaniards. Under heavy armament, Spain invaded the Philippines again in 1565, gaining control over the archipelago. Upon colonizing the people, King Philip II outlawed martial arts, introduced Catholicism, and brought political unification to the islands (which he named after himself). For over 300 years, Filipinos continued their martial arts practice in secret, disguising patterns and techniques as dance steps used in ceremonial rituals or pretending to practice Spanish fencing, ultimately influencing angles of attack, in addition to, sword and dagger combinations. Eventually, 100 different fighting styles emerged, culminating in a grouping of three complete fighting systems; generally called "Escrima, Arnis, and Kali." (Broadly known as, "Kali".) Utilizing all combat ranges, Filipino Stick Fighting is known for its lethal single stick, double stick, and, stick and dagger techniques. Although the ban on martial arts was lifted in the Philippines in 1898 when the United States defeated Spain in the Spanish-American War, Filipino Stick Fighting remained secluded from outsiders until the 1960's when Grand Master Angel Cabales broke tradition and openly brought Escrima to the United States; later becoming known as, "The Father Of Escrima In America." Other major contributors to bringing Kali, its culture, history, and heritage to the United States (and elsewhere) include: Richard Bustillo (IMB Academy - Torrance); Cacoy Canete; Dionisio Canete; Regino Ellustrisimo; Leo Gaje; Leo Giron; Mike Inay; Dan Inosanto (Inosanto Academy - Marina del Rey); John LaCoste; Ben Largusa; Percival Pableo; Remy Presas; Edgar Sulite; Teofilo Velez, and Floro Villabrille.
