@@FMAPulse anything you have passion for requires the hard work involved. You’re doing it. Don’t forget to smile and laugh along your journey. See you again whenever you return to Chicago.
We were fortunate to meet all these instructors that day. The approach and styles are familiar and different at the same time. But anyway we can help shed some light on the other systems from different regions, that's our mission and vision.
Appreciate the love and support, we're trying. But it's getting more difficult with the rising cost of traveling. We're hoping more people can view our content and share it with others.
I found it interesting you can use coffee sticks without them shattering. I live in Puerto Rico and finding rattan is hard but coffee should be easy enough to find.
Yeah, it's another alternative. Our contact in the Philippines said that due to over harvesting, rattan kind of difficult to come by. That's why the cost went up.
Ever since 2009, it's been my focus not just to learn. But to document not just my experiences, but the stories and histories of all the teachers. Bruce Lee, Ip Man, Musashi, Ueshiba are still talked about today in China and Japan. Philippines has there own masters, and they need to be remembered too.
Humbled that you were able to visit Guro Nate’s area in the Philippines. We can see similarities with the his figure 8 Serrada hybrid with the Piga Piga System that GM Felix teaches. And the espada y daga from GM Pastrano looks very similar as well.
We were thinking the same thing. The Eskala he talked about was all there. The footwork, the strikes and checking. On top of the other systems he taught, we can finally see where he was coming from with the Illongo style.
Hey,interesting video, regarding Arnis in Negros,was there any relatives and or deceaseds from Presas present at the opening?( Ernesto spread Arnis in Europe,as Remy did in US).Tandoye,I fear that..
GM Roberto Presas was not feeling well that day, but he did send his regards. Only a few close students of Professor Remy went to visit, but GM Roberto couldn't make it to the Grand Opening.
Super cool video! If i had known there was a fma place in Hinigaran I wouldve tried for a place there, but it's too late now since I'm moving into Bacolod city. I'm 16 years old and I have background in shotokan karate for about 7 years, I was stuck at brown belt white stripe for 2 years because my sensei didn't find me fit to move up. Now I moved to the Philippines to embrace with my culture and I reallyyyy wanna do Arnis since I'm moving to Bacolod City soon, but I'm not sure how to find a proper mentor. Do you have any tips on how a 16 yr old beginner access good mentors? I'm intimidated since it seems that fma is starting to die out in big cities. And your video brings me hope however the place u went to seems a bit far. Thank you though, i'm supes inspired :D
Sorry for the late reply. But the school in Hinigaran just opened last year. Since you're going to be in the Bacolod area, feel free to contact any of the instructors we interviewed. Their contact information should be in the description box or at the end of each video. I'm sure the teachers will help guide you to a teacher. Just mention to them that you saw there video on FMA Pulse.
Region and dialect is what separates the names, but it encompasses the same meaning. It's like saying "soccer" and "football." It's still the same game just worded differently depending on the country (well only in the USA is it called soccer, the rest of the world calls it football lol!)
Love that ska beat you got in the video
Thanks, we try to keep it upbeat.
Great to see you living your dream Jessie. We miss you in Chicago.
Thank you, but dreams still requires the legwork. But I can't see myself doing anything else. Miss you guys and the jokes too.

Wow! There’s so much more to learn about the other systems from the other Islands. Great to see other systems getting some spot light.

Do you have plans creating a book with regards to FMA? Please do, i'm looking forward to read it in the future.
@@josephlandagan6657 that's not a bad idea. It's just making the time for it and seeing what format I should use when writing it.
Hey, that’s where my family is at!
For real?! Which part?
They’re in Bacolod. I don’t know where in Bacolod exactly these days, but my mom side grew up on Galo St.
I love what you do. Please don’t stop filming and bringing these great instructors too us.

Oh shit! Is that Guro Mango Shakes (Sonny Sison) in the video???
LOL! I didn't know that is Sonny's nickname. But yes, it is Guro Red Ranger Sonny Sison.
@@FMAPulse no, you're right. It's not his nickname. It's Grand Tuhon Master Pamana Guro Ma'am/Sir Mango Shakes 😆😅 I keed.
@@JSRLPadre LOL! I gotta message him now to see if it's true.
Thank sir❤
Always welcome.

you are excellent, I admire your dedication

great work, Jess! Thank you for documenting the Elders and the lineages!
Thanks Guro Jay, there's so much more on Negros Occidental that many don't know about in the western world.
👍

Love to make contact with the guys in Bacolod area. We would love to have an instructor come down to cauayan once a month or more.
Their contact is only on FB at the moment. Feel free to contact them directly. There info is in the description box.
@@FMAPulse will do.
Sir ..may I ask .are there Arnis from ILOILO..like doce pares and balintawak of Cebu ..ptk of negros..great video...thanks
I'm sure there are, but we haven't met anyone from that region. If there any, they are most likely teaching behind closed doors.
OMG is that you Aleksandr>>>??? You went from Krabi Krabong to Arnis 🙂
Alex learns everything, he's like a sponge. :)

What is the difference between Arnis, Kali, Escrima
Region and dialect is what separates the names, but it encompasses the same meaning. It's like saying "soccer" and "football." It's still the same game just worded differently depending on the country (well only in the USA is it called soccer, the rest of the world calls it football lol!)
