[@sfcdelprado1483]

I'm a Pekiti Tirsia (FMA) practitioner but I lost my motivation to continue practicing the art after coming back from my last deployment in Iraq due to wrist injurries and PTSD (still in the ARMY just FYI). I'm slowly rehabilitating my mental condition and been wanting to go back practicing FMA. After watching this excellent presentation by Tatang/Gurong Dan, it opened my eyes to realize that I can incorporate FMA as part of my rehabilitation. Although I still have both bad wrist and waiting to have surgerries, but I think I can start with the basic 12 steps and see if my mind can tolerate the pain. Anyways, I'm so glad that I found this video and I cannot wait to see Tatang/Gurong Dan in DFW for his upcoming seminar. More power to you Tatang/Gurong Dan you are an inspiration and a truly master of FMA. "MABUHAY PILIPINOS" SFC DELPRADO, ADEL US ARMY FITNESS TRAINER

Mr. Inosanto was my 7th grade history teacher in so cal at malaga cove. He was an awesome teacher and person. He used to bring in super 8 movies of a blind old fighter fighting off 5 other fighters with knives and other weapons. They were awesome movies. The real deal. He once did 1500 pushups (non stop) in one of our lunch breaks! He sounds just like he did in the late 70's

Dan Inosanto is dynamite and still remained a humble person. FMA is dangerous, much respect.

[@bembem_777]

FMA is extremely deadly and must only be taught to disciplined, respectful and humble individuals who know exactly when it is imperative to employ the skill.

[@swayzocrazo4398]

Well said

[@marvinagorilla9175]

Yeah because kali has no restriction

[@dilasgrau6433]

FMAs is originally for offensive and counter attack with the sole objective of a quick kill, utilizing any handy objects as weapons, making it perhaps the most deadly and brutal fighting technique. It's not suitable for sports. It's best for law agents, combat troops and for deadly assassins. Filipinos, being known as friendly and hospitable abhors violence hence it was almost lost.

[@vitorcrema7167]

​@@dilasgrau6433Are weaponless, bare-handed techniques also effective and dangerous?

Master Dan Inosanto preserve this lost art of fighting, even us filipinos forgot our roots and culture.. sad but its true

[@i-am-your-conscience]

Yeah I was shocked how few fighting schools are there compared to schools teaching japanese, korean or chinese martial arts.. Because I think in terms of really knock out and finish your opponent effectively, the filippino martial arts are superior. So I hope more people want to learn this instead of all the foreign stuff. Because, i fact, after testing a few, its better.. it was really out of a caste of warriors, not just some philosophical monestary origin or out of a school just for self defense.. it was tested and needed to really fight for you life

[@edwardkoo8564]

+Your Conscience every art works it's on the practitioner but yup filipino MA is very brutal and made for street fighting

[@blykedizzy2238]

They don't teach this Martial arts to those random individual. As can you see it's lethal technique to kill so they use this Martial arts to those who need it and it's the police and Soldiers especially special forces . So thats why . They don't forget it they preserve it .

[@alasiriabdullfabula3822]

Nope just in luzon and Visayas but in mindanao the culture and the way they fight it's also there it's called silat in tausug language just like Kali in tagalog

[@jonfarrah]

I've trained at Dan's seminars in the UK...the most humbling humble genuine guy I've ever met & spoken to, he's a beautiful human in everyway, inspiring, gracious, exceptional person. The rumour I know so well as fact is he had often waited inline to enter the venue...Dan is a Legend in how to be the best human.

[@josea.dureza8456]

Very inspirational, enlightening. and entertaining. I met Dan in person In NJ in the 80's when he was reunited with my wife's Mom who was his Dad's cousin. Having already known his stature in martial arts, I was in awe with his humility, and quite touched during that tearful reunion as I witnessed this great man crying.as he hugged her, seeing her for the first time. He said she looked just like his Dad.

One of the most well-respected Arnis Grandmaster in Visayas and Mindanao was the man named Filemon "Momoy" Canete, one of the 12 Grandmasters of Doce Pares, and founder of San Miguel Eskrima. He uses Sword and Dagger or Espada y Daga. What Guro Inosanto said about the history of eskrima were true. In fact during the revolution, most of the Guardia Civil or Spanish Guards were killed by numerous cuts. During the Korean War, some Filipino soldiers (Tabak Division) were used bolo or sundang to kill Chinese and North Korean Communist.

Dan Inosanto has no problem for speaking hours on end,and I would listen to him endlessly no problem whatsoever. Because the man is a treasure trove of knowledge not only about Bruce Lee and Martial arts but of many historical facts. He claims here getting knowledge from his students but I suspect Dan must be an avid reader also. A very intelligent man and a pleasure to watch him demonstrate his skills

[@nowayasway5258]

Phenomenal display of his martial skill and knowledge of arts. I would've love to cross paths with Guro Inosanto and study under him.
