kentoten Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hello everyone, This is a bit off-topic but I was wondering if any of our members here at MTC can provide us with information of a possible location where we can teach and practice Arnis. For the past few days, we've been receiving inquiries on people that are interested in learning Arnis. The problem is, currently we are practicing it at a location that is not convienient for a lot of people (Morayta). If there's anybody who might know of a location preferably Makati, Pasay or Manila (Taft Ave. area), that would be really helpful. The place doesn't have to be exclusively for us, we could share space from existing gyms. And if we can get a space thats right for us, we can offer other stuff like tai chi and womens self defense because our teacher is also knowledgabe in those as well. Just PM me on details and thank you for this chance in air this appeal....... Kentoten Quote Link to comment

I'll try lookin into it, and ask mga alumni ng reputable schools sa taft area. Quote Link to comment
kentoten Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Sana pati hours of training flexible din Morning sessions. Kasi gabi lang ang classes niyo. The locations try affiliating yourselves with some schools. The La salle Doce pares, Sa UP Lightning scientific. They would be very glad to accommodate you. I'll try lookin into it, and ask mga alumni ng reputable schools sa taft area. We tried to have a morning class, but we found out that a bulk of our students are working yuppies in their 20's. There were no students who wants to take morning classes. As for hooking up with other arnis clubs in schools, we try to avoid having to compete over the students who wants to take the art. We won't encroach on a school that already has an arnis program and club. It is out of respect to the other arnis groups. If there is a school that don't have arnis in their program or a gym that has TKD, Karate, Aikido but has no arnis, maybe we can offer our services. BTW, thanks for helping us. Maybe one of these days if you have the time, you could drop by to our place and see us train. Oh, bring sticks too so you can participate Quote Link to comment

PLEASE HELP ME OUT FOR MY FRIENDS SAKE. dude as far as i know... wala yatang krav maga school dito sa pinas eh, it originates in israel by d way... Quote Link to comment
smart-ass Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 dude as far as i know... wala yatang krav maga school dito sa pinas eh, it originates in israel by d way... the joker, obviously krav maga originated from Israel. what i was trying to imply was if there is a school here., considering that filipinos are very fond of catching new trends, fads specifically foreign. For instance BJJ, promoters of the grappling craze that swept most of the world, has its minions here. I was hoping that krav maga as well as other combatives which drew enormous interest after 9/11 have somehow had a foothold here. These are just for clarifications no malice intented.

ron9 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 for those who enjoy striking tournaments, there will be a world muay thai tourney this august 21 at the ultra. four members of the filipino team will be competing together with some fighters from thailand, holland, us, and others.... bad news is that the prices are ridiculously high - as in RIDICULOUSLY HIGH!!! P500 FOR GALLERY!!!!!!!!!! i hope they reconsider the prices, or you can probably pay some scalper or guard to let you in Quote Link to comment
smart-ass Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 anyone in the know. I read in the Rapid journal mag that Elmer Ybanez. one of the foremost exponent of Lightning Scientific Arnis died. I am just curious on how this came about. Kasi he is relativey young to die at such an age. Is it due to a disease? I do hope it was not of tragic circumtances, like those that have befallen other martial artists. Any way, condolences to his family. Quote Link to comment
Alphamale-X Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Goodday Comrades, Just want to ask if anyone among you guys know an Official Pancrase Organization here in the Phil.? I read frm the net that there is,but they did not specify where. I'm not refering to the Pankration Org. there in Pasig, Im refering to the Pancrase Martial art where Bas rutten and Yuki Kondo came from ..Your help will definitely be appreciated..

smart-ass Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 two nights ago I was accosted by three men (dalawang payat and one robust guy) while opening the door of my car somewhere near Camelot Hotel (mother ignacia). Mga 5'6" ang payat at 5'8" si taba. They started shoving me, pero they did not ask for any money, and or the keys to my car. I use a Swiss army knife as a key chain holder and was able to open the reamer. The next guy that shoved me, (si taba) I drove the reamer in his arm and push him towards the two other guys. When they stumbled down I started kicking their faces and when they tried to cover their faces, I ran towards the Tropical hut fastfood. and luckily they did not give chase. Swerte pa ako, had they been armed baka I might have gotten wounded or worse. I usually carry a defensive folder or balisong but dahil sa dami ng checkpoints ngayon hindi na. My question is what is legality of carrying defensive knives in the Phils.? My last swiss army was deemed a weapon sa checkpoint at inarbor ng pulis, then they let me go. Knives are the only option nowadays (guns, maraming restrictions tear gas wa effect pag multiple assailants cane cumbersome to carry) Quote Link to comment
hellspawn Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 <smart-arse> some tips that might come in handy. -carry a kubotan. they're not illegal and are great for striking, gouging, as a fist loader, and for use in restraints and holds as a pain compliance tool. they also double as a great keyholder. -aside from a kubotan i also have a steel "cross" brand pen, any pen will do actually, i just prefer cross. brilliant for stabbing. -if i'm going into an area i know is risky, i carry an atm card that i've sharpened on two edges. great for slashing, especially across the face. try to slash across the forehead, this makes the blood go into the eyes. the card doesn't need to be sharpened, i just like adding the extra touch. one night we were jumped by some angry coons. they were drunk, large, and very aggressive. the nigger who jumped me tackled me from the side and i ended up on my back with this smelly motherf**ker on top. gave me a couple of good punches to the face as well. to stop any further attempts to re-arrange my face via his fists, i pulled my kubotan and drove it into his left eyeball. end of fight. he was screaming like a bitch with blood pissing down the side of his face. the other two reacted as all good cowards do. they took off. was that excessive? in my opinion, no. ok, i blinded him in one eye, but i originally wanted to go for my tactical folder and perform some amateur surgery on him. if he was armed, and by armed i mean if he had anything i believe could be used as a weapon against me, even if he had a f**king lollipop in one hand, i would have gone for the blade. doesn't matter where in the world you live, s**t happens. like the saying says: better tried by twelve than carried by six Quote Link to comment
