maximusmeridius Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 funny how people in the philippines are expected to be good in the martial arts by other cultures especially the west, i say funny because not all of us are good or even (like the chinese) informed. [if what i know is true, its state law that all chinese know some form of wushu]. Quote Link to comment
vixen Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 hey guys in the qc area you might wanna check out capoeira at bodyworx gym in west ave. i tried it out and its pretty neat medyo mahirap lang sa una dahil hindi sanay sa movements nila pero enjoy after a while. for the sweat value ok sya! Wow. Capoeira is something I've been wanting to try since last year. Last I heard, there was a capoeria group (not school) somewhere in Makati. Poknat, can you tell me the details of the session you went to in West Ave? Would appreciate any info. Thanks, dude. Nice thread you got here, Bo :cool: Quote Link to comment

poknat Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 i know i've posted this question before but there was no reply to it then maybe there would be one now. anyone know where i could learn krav maga here in the philippines? its the technique used the israeli armed forces and i hear its really effective Quote Link to comment
hellspawn Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 <poknat> dude,you might try the krav maga website, it's got a listing of the countries that have km schools and certified instructors. you can also order the km videos and books from there. i've done a couple of weekend workshops in km with eyal yanilov, head of km intl. and it is nasty, brutal, vicious and highly effective. gotta love it. if there's anyone there who's offering km classes check the certification first. all km instructors should have some paperwork to verify their training. and it should be signed by eyal. could you also fill me in on the capoeira there: what type do they do, angola, regional or mandinga? is it a true capoeira class with music, singing and a roda at the end of it? i've been doing capoeira for the last seven months and it's great fun and a great workout. i also enjoy learning how to play the berimbau, and learning the songs for the roda. i've been lucky enough to meet mestre jogo de dentro from capoeira angola and mestre marcelo pereira from capoeira mandinga. for those who got interested in capoeira because of tekken 2 and eddie gordo, mestre marcelo is eddie gordo. check the credits at the end of the game, you'll see his name come up. he was approached by the game makers and brought to japan where they filmed and digitized his movements for the game. of course, some of the moves in the game are not real, thanks to computer animation, but about 80-85 percent of them are capoeira mandinga moves.

hellspawn Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 <poknat> thanks dude. if i ever go back to the islands i'll check it out. if you've got time drop by the capoeira mandinga website: www.mandinga.organd there's a lot of capoeira music available on kazaa, both angola and regional.there's a brazilian guy who drops in to our capoeira group a couple of times a month. he's a gracie and he was telling me how he started on bjj at 5 years old, but all of his friends were into capoeira. now his friends in brazil are starting to study bjj and he's trying to catch up on capoeira.

elke_weis Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 karate, boxing, judo and free-style wrestling are still the best to me. for weapons fighting, arnis and western fencing. Quote Link to comment
