[@filipinokalieskrimaacademy2777]

Well spoken Tuhon Ray. You are a great example not only as a teacher but as a leader. Mabuhay 🙏🏽

[@FMAPulse]

Yes, he is indeed a humble and low key individual. Like he said in his interview, he helps his students and thinks about them first before making any decision.

[@pacoval4577]

Much respect to Tuhon Ray and the FCS Family! Maraming salamat po.

[@FMAPulse]

Tuhon Ray and his students are really cool and laid back.

[@richardhenry1969]

Really enjoyed my time training with him. One of the most down to earth just great guys. He's the soft spoken kinda guy that when he says something its worth listening to. An everyone ive met through them as been great.

[@FMAPulse]

Indeed, Tuhon Ray and his group are very welcoming. We enjoyed hanging out with them when they were touring in Ohio.

[@slatham8616]

Awesome video! I had my first FCS class yesterday. Excited to begin this journey.

[@FMAPulse]

Glad you were able to connect with Tuhon Ray and FCS. They're a bunch of cool guys to hang out with after class.

[@FMAPulse]

When we were hanging out with Tuhon and Ray and his students, they were really nice and funny. There was no ego, just friends hanging out.

[@chrisaranca1776]

I love this stuff. Good interview

[@FMAPulse]

Thank you, glad you appreciate all the work that goes into our interviews. A lot of time and passion goes into our production process.

[@zazziemo1]

Great story 👏

[@FMAPulse]

Indeed...we're trying to document everyone's history so they know where the art is coming from.

[@hanumansrivijaya]

I attempted one of his seminar less than one year ago, wasn't hooked by his system, too evolved for simple mind like mine, but didn't know he was such a good human being, wise , humble, thank you very much Sir you're a true inspiration.

[@FMAPulse]

FMA in general is an acquired taste. But it's all in the teacher and his students that make it a great organization.

[@ejh66]

Ray your an awesome man. Very humble and generous. Hope to have the opportunity to train with fcs one day.

[@alancat2705]

good man Guro Dionaldo is lighting fast with the knife !.

[@FMAPulse]

Indeed. He said he practices his draw with his knife strikes from his sheath to this target all the time.

[@alancat2705]

@@FMAPulse a true fma artist ! :)

[@JesseStLouis]

This is great!

[@FMAPulse]

Thank you!

[@user-ds4bc7gk2u]

Super great Instructor and Friend. Don't miss out on learning the FCS Fighting system of Tuhon Ray

[@FMAPulse]

Indeed, we're going to catch up with him and the rest of the group at the Kentucky camp this year. It's been a year since we last saw him.

[@nomadicjfilms8858]

Awesome! You guys are doing interviews again 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@FMAPulse]

Yup, since the COVID quarantine hindered us from traveling, we were accessing our archives to provide content for you all. We were lucky to get 3 interviews during our trip to Ohio with different instructors. Stay tuned.

[@omartech110]

Pugay po 💪🏾💯❤️🇵🇭🥋

[@sgtjoe2008]

i'm sure gm presas saw something in gm rey, a spark, a potential, the passion, a future teacher...and gm presas instinct about rey was correct all along. Rey is born for this art!

[@FMAPulse]

Indeed. GM Ray is constantly learning new things and implementing it within FCS. It's his way of respecting and honoring all the teachers he trained with.

[@mr_hard_ash_aka_smokingjoe]

Ugh! I wish there was a FCS school in nashville TN

[@FMAPulse]

Feel free to contact Punong Guro Ernie Lake. He's based in Kentucky and his one of the main reps in the surrounding areas.

[@LUBDMA]

Awesome! Good interview

[@dnapi]

Agreed! I never knew how it all began, and am glad I watched this! Thanks for sharing Tuhon Ray! Much love, & respect!

[@LUBDMA]

@@dnapi I was wondering how it began too, now we know

[@FMAPulse]

Thank you. We're trying to preserve and present the history of each style the best we can for future generations.

[@LUBDMA]

@@FMAPulse keep it up

[@FMAPulse]

@@LUBDMA Hopefully there won't be anymore catastrophic events in 2020 that's preventing us from doing more. LOL!
