Mabuhay Kapatids from Bacolod. Hopefully more will become more interested in the Negrense art of FMA. Like you said, no other province can claim Tapado. Hopefully the next generation can keep it going.
We were fortunate to see the other systems that come from Negros Occidental. The big names that came out of there are of course Pekiti Tirsia and the founder of Modern Arnis Professor Remy Presas. But to see the other systems and document as a real honor.
Thank you. History will live. New generation of Tapadistas are going to continue the legacy. Especially here in Negros Occidental, the birthplace of Tapado....
In college, I liked 6 foot, 4 foot and 2 1/2 foot sticks. You get different circles. I practiced forward, reverse and mixed grips and left and right handed with all types of footwork. It was a fruitful experience. I love this channel! I always learn something useful. Practice the sticks Each stick is different Wood and Length are determinate I learned that in college I gathered knowledge Filled up my brain with my training With good technique The type that freak Each day of the week I clocked 5 hours I developed super powers I lit the towers up With the prison guards And I escaped the yard I’ve been soft/hard ever since Training makes me grimace So to finish I will say Practice sticks every single day!
Thank you, I'm glad your getting something from our content. Everyone has there "cup of tea" when training. Always good to keep an eye out for systems outside of the mainstream.
whats so great about this group is the connection between teacher and student. its important. every single training group i've been involved in, when there is no kinship or patience or understanding, these groups fall apart quickly. what makes a teacher is as much to do with the heart as it does the art. i've seen mean teachers, teachers who abuse their students rather than talk to them, and they might have a student who tolerates them but the rest will typically leave. i've even experienced abusive teachers myself and what it demonstrated to me was a lack of self control. i learned from that experience. anyway, happy training folks!
Totally agree with what you said. Groups like this is rare to find, but like any martial art, once it becomes too big or popular, ego and politics start getting in the way. They still keep an open door policy, but still carry the tradition of selecting and screening who they let into their circle. Like Master Reynaldo said, they had students that were very good and talented, but they developed "big heads" and got expelled. It's difficult to keep that family atmosphere once a style or organization becomes popular.
When Tapado came to be taught in the early '60s, here in the countryside of San Carlos, the pioneers never really had a formal group to look up to. Anyone who wished to learn, mostly relatives of the mentors, were taught in a traditional way. Only a few techniques those days. The evolution started to flourish as years went by. In the countryside those days, live duels were a trend. Who's the "better one" thing. People were weilding live bolos wherever they went. There were always arguments that led to a more serious situation. Those days, people with exceptional skills in stickfighting already existed. A bloody fight would follow soon after a heated argument. There were no law enforcers to pacify them. Just imagine how dangerous it was to fight a person with a live blade with only a bahi or kamagong with you. When Tapado started to become known, people started to learn it. The longer stick gives a safer stance. And the "no nonsense" strikes can drive even the live blade weilding thug away. Without sweat. The latest generation, us, are fortunate enough to have known one of the pioneers Gm "Kikok" Presno. Who, until now, actively shares his knowledge. When our group was organized in 1999, ( i started in 1989), the inventor, Gm Nono Mamar, was so happy see the fruits of the Art he started. I was lucky to have the privilege of training with him, and with his cousin Gm Norbing, We can't allow to have people within us ruin what we have started to build. Quite a number of individuals attenpted, but were stopped. Yes, they have learned, but their learning stopped the moment they're not part of the system anymore. The handful of people left, help us propagate and preserve the Legacy of Lagas Tapado.

@@FMAPulse I've tried replying to his comment twice already.. They all went through, but the next time when i checked, my comments no longer there. What could be wrong?
Even though they are serious practitioners and teachers, they do have a sense of humor outside of training like many of the GM's, Guro's and Masters we've met so far.
I hope to see Tapado tournament in the near future. You may try to sponsor also a tournament between Japanese Kendo vs Tapado, just as there were tournaments during the 1980s between boxing vs Karate, to see which martial art really is more effective. Thanks!
Perhaps. Maybe in the future. But don't you think it will be messy because both are weapon's art. A lot different from Boxing and Karate. The rules of the tournament could not fit to either style/art. Rules can affect the effectivity of the art. Lagas Tapado is more useful when used without rules, a very good tool in actual street fights using both bladed weapons and sticks. I can say that, because I've been through it. We live in the countryside, where people before get drunk, going wild with bolos looking for trouble. Glad things like this, not happening anymore. Thanks to the law enforcers assigned to maintain peace and order in the community.
I do agree with what Master Reynaldo said. Sometimes the rules set can alter the outcome of the competition. The only way to see who the best person and not the art is to see who still standing after the altercation.
Thanks for insight Master Reynaldo, we could only imagine the old days when things happened without rules. But it's great that you're teaching the law enforcement and evolving the art to fit within the guidelines of the law.
@@FMAPulsethanks. In 2006, there was an invitation from a Bacolod Tapado group for a tournament. I asked for the guidelines, because i had doubts how they will organize the event. And if the local officials in Bacolod would grant permission since it was meant to happen during the Masskara festival. I was promised the guidelines will be sent in a week. None arrived though, but the contact person messaged me and discussed the details. There was no guidelines in black and white, meaning the rules can be changed even on the event proper. When i asked if the host will provide official sticks to be used, he said we can bring our own, hardwood or otherwise. Wow. He said there will be a "kurit" between the competitors, and when one crosses the line, a DQ will be rendered and he losses. I said that's not possible because it was normal for us to step forward while striking. One more deciding factor he said was the overlapping of sticks during the exchange of strikes. The guy who managed to have his stick on top of the other guy's stick, wins. Wow again. I told him Tapado wasn't created to be used as a sport art. It was created for combat. To note that they also trained under the founder Gm Nono, i can't believe they are trying to modify how Tapado should be adapted and applied. In the end, the event did not push through.

Practice the sticks
Each stick is different
Wood and Length are determinate
I learned that in college
I gathered knowledge
Filled up my brain with my training
With good technique
The type that freak
Each day of the week
I clocked 5 hours
I developed super powers
I lit the towers up
With the prison guards
And I escaped the yard
I’ve been soft/hard ever since
Training makes me grimace
So to finish I will say
Practice sticks every single day!

Very interesting I would like to participate in your camp
Feel free to reach to the spokesman for Lampos Negrosanon on Facebook. Fastest way would be to contact Otso Kantos directly. Or Alex Pisarkin.
@@FMAPulse what is your profile name on Facebook
Yes, thank you. Maybe someday....
That going abroad part was a classic 😂

Meron nbang Torneo sa Lagas Tapado sa mga "Tapadesta" or "Kombate Dos Manos" kailan at saang gaganapin?
Huwag mag-atubiling makipag-ugnayan sa Otso Kantos sa Facebook para sa karagdagang impormasyon.
Wala pa po. Delikado kahit may head and body protector.
Brilliant.Fantastic interview.Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Wish we could have stayed longer to cover more in the Philippines, especially in Negros Occidental.
Genial gracias por compartir
No problemo compadres. Muchas gracias por tu apoyo.
Thanks. I just started to learn a different style of Tapado (inside of another style). Enjoying it so far!
Nice, who's the Tapado lineage holder/group from who you are learning from?
@FMAPulse Lihok Banate (which is influenced by Joe Go's Palakabanate & Yuli Romo's Bahad Zubu.)
Proud student here❤️
We hope to learn more also 👍
