Humility is pure gold in a teacher. He doesn’t discount other styles? He is wise.
He is one of the few examples of what loyalty and respect is about. You don’t hear most people talk like he does... Bobby is as real as one gets....
Respect
A true teacher wants their students to be better than them.. that iss when you know the teacher is a good one! Amen to your words! Thank you for spreading the knowledge!
Always loyalty and respect ous. The smiling assassin is what I've always called My teacher and all Filipino people are such beautiful people that I've met, I wish I found FMA when I was younger.
it is never too late to learn.just train,train,and train...
I have great respect for Mr. Taboada. He is an excellent example of dedication, focus, respect and loyalty.
I like the one he said " I want my students to be better than me " so humble
Phenomenal. Not 1 academy in Portugal! Filipinos so similar to us, simple hard working people with good fundaments! Please send someone to teach us Sir.
You can reach out to his representatives in Europe. Chief Master Rich Cotterill.
That's a humble man right there. And a special shout out to Mr. Michael. Learn and teach with respect.
That man is a rare breed nowadays. Respect🙏🏻
LOYALTY and RESPECT love it...am also an ARNIS/KARATE practitioner and I Love this PILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS. MORE POWER TO YOU GRAND MASTER AND GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL YOU STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD. RESPECT TO YOU SIR.
I love this guy, his humility and desire for his students to create their own techniques is so empowering. If he was my teacher I'd be so loyal to him, I'd defend him (and honour) with my life!
GM Taboada does have an aura about him that makes you gravitate towards him as an instructor. Funny as well as strict, he will inspire you to grow as martial artist.
Yep gm bobby teaching is like a concept of JKD they believe martials need to evolve and flow like water
A very humble man. Even with all the skills he had. He still value loyalty and respect. A true Filipino gentleman. Mabuhay ka GM Taboada.
Much respect to you and you're ways. I love what you said about loyalty and Respect. I'm glad to be able to call you a friend.
You have come a long way in your openness to other styles since our days in Cebu. I respect your evolution. This is Leigh from the YMCA of Cebu.
It was a pleasure to be at this seminar. God bless you, Master Taboada.
Thnk you sir taboada arnis still use until now in some secondary and tertiary espicially in physical education here in cebu
In the archives of martial arts, great efforts must be made to preserve the teachings of Grand Masters such as Grand Master Bobby Toboada. His expending knowledge is crucial to continue. Among God's grace to humans is the ability to defend oneself. This Grand Master epitomizes this grace. I pray In gratitude for God's grace in you.
Respect and honour to you Sir.
If the wiseman talks listen and gain it's wisdom be humble...
He's a legend very respectful,disciplined,kind to others and most of all. He is a legendary race (Filipino).
Loyalty and respect...
I like it. Underrated today.
Much respect, love...
☀️😎☀️🇺🇸

My late husband Hans Muhlfeld learned a lot from him and Bob Sullen one of
his students also He love doing it adnd always wanted to go back to it after retiring but couldn't because of health problems with his back and heart. He loved traveling with him Great leaders and teachers both of them Bonnie Muhlfeld
This guy is the true master and respect from Mozambique!
Salute and respect to you sir. Sana makabalik ka ng Pinas at maturuan mo ang mga kabataang Pilipino

Wonderful Humble Man with wisdom and a good heart.
His mimics and eyes tell more than what he says.
Big respecst to GM Bobby Taboada!!!
Your Masters must be very proud on how you carry their legacy. RESPECT...
Very amazing interview of GM Bobby Taboada. Finally met him last week in Charlotte , North Carolina. It was his 70th birthday celebration and seminar. Loved d it. Very ,kind patient ,and wonderful to be around and learn from. Would do it again a heartbeat. I I get anyone to learn Balintawak.
So many people don’t know those values, they know the words but haven’t enjoyed the beauty of practice them,that’s why humans are where they are,Loyalty and Respect.How can you Love others if you don’t practice that,You don’t need to study,to understand that,I’m glad to see people that still believe and practice those values.
It is a great honor to train under all the wonderful people in this system. GM Taboada is a great example and his students and instructors are proof of that.
AMERICAN BALINTAWAK PRACTIONER are very lucky that they are getting there lessons directly from the LIVING LEGENG CEBUANO SUPREME GRAND MASTER SIR BOBBY TABOADA❤❤❤
LOVE FROM CEBU❤❤❤
Totally agree.
Hail! My honor and respect be with you, GM Bobby Taboada.
I love this guy humble as you like, we are always learning.
GURU BOBBY SALAMAT TALAGA NA INSPIRED AKO SAIYO.
I STUDIED JUDO, BOXING, KALI EMPTY HAND AND KNIFE COMBAT, NUNCHUCKS, AND KARATE BUT I AM MASTERS OF NONE. YOUR VIDEO INSPIRES MANY YOUNG FILIPINO FIGHTER LIKE ME. I LOVE MY GURU BUT THEY ARE ALL PAST AWAY AND MISSED THEM.
Great video. I love the honesty.
Thanks for making and sharing the above. GM Bobby Taboada is dignity and modesty personified.
Wooooow! Such a very humble grand master. No doubt he has a lot of students training with different nationalities because of his skill and humility. I want Filipino martial arts to be learned and valued by other countries too. This is such a practical and beautiful martial art base on what I see.
Dudes a real Mixed martial artist not just one thing,what a guy
Great interview🇵🇭 one day I will meet GM Taboada.
You are really humble Grand Master, your success was invested from patience and effort in the beginning..
I like GM Bobby because he believes in individualism. He doesn’t say learn my style and my style only. He doesn’t say his style is the best. He wants you to learn his style and add it to your style...create your own style.
“I teach the student...not the art”
~GM Hee II Cho
Just like he said in the interview, you get the system, but in the end it's up to you.
Hello. It's a big arts for human. Congratulations grandmaster he show very good movement. And, through these movements you can understand the whole essence of the fight with the enemy...
damn that is deep... very humble guy
great teaching is to hv pure clean mindset before starts learning in martial art,you already hv that gd value mrBobby,may God bless u
Awesome! Thank you for sharing! “Your most advance technique is your basic technique” that was his words when i met him years ago. PUGAY!
Wise words indeed.
Great message from gm taboada a true picture of great teacher. Some teachers don't like their student to create their own style but gm taboada was able to teach to his student to unleash their potential.
Agreed, we like that he starts you off with the Balintawak base, and then allows you to explore the holes in the system and find ways to develop your own style and counters.
All respects GM . The most handsome !
Apo salute for you this balintawak is the practice of Kali kamagong karit is an ancient practice of Filipino warrior and they always said one swipe don't comeback
In every counter theres always a counter. So its like in every problem theres always a solution.
Thanks Mr. Bobby Taboada
Great teachings, Grand Master! Thank you!
Great interview. I love hearing GM Bobby's talks. Inspiring!
Very inspiring and full of humility. My salute GM!
Thank you GM!
What a humble man I feel I also wanna learn from him martial arts
GM is always doing seminars on the road. Those who want one on one training can reach out to him in North Carolina.
Well I wish someone was here in Dallas Texas to teach.. I’ll would do it if someone do a seminar here.😟🙏
great insights from a humble grandmaster!
The old boy is very good... Well done sir
That was so peaceful to hear to...
Very good. Very very good.
Just fallowing this master like mad man I have learnt a lot from youtube.
Glad you appreciate GM Taboada's work and skill.
FMA before is secret in Philippines. I wish We have this during my teenage days, One of the popular during my high school days is another Filipino martial art by Trovador Ramos Consolidated Martial Arts(TRACMA).
I always respect people who are able to be humble even though they have a lot of talent in whatever they do. Guro Bobby is one of those people.
And, it's usually when some one is "that good" that they don't need to show off. Able to laugh at themselves. Not take themselves so seriously.
My senior Balintawak master is the training and demo partner of GM Bobby - Dr. Ben Marapao. He is in his 80's now. One time, both of them forgot the sequence of their demo, they just decided to do random striking and defending. It was so intense that it looked like it was a real fight due to the randomness of their demonstration. They were scolded by GM Teofilo Velez afterwards because he thought the 2 were doing demonstration with anger. This was told to me by Dr. Marapao and 2 of his sons who all teach me along with my other KGB-MAGGS Balintawak brothers.
Thank you for sharing the story in detail. It's too bad there was no cameras during that time to document that event.
Very humble guy. Truly makes u more deserving to be called supreme grand master. Ur guru that teach u eskrima is very proud of you. U never take credit from them. Instead U make them part of ur success. Truly inspiring from u sir.
Lineage is very important within Balintawak. GM Ver Villasin once told us, "if you don't know the history and your lineage, you're not Balintawak."
Salute lolo bobby your the one for me
I salute you👍✊👊🙏🙏🙏
Very great thoughts !
speaking like a master
My respect...
This is so interesting. Bobby is a grand master through all his grandmasters before him. He seems to go with Jeet Kung Do. There is no style. There is only base and up to each to develop their own from that base.
Truly a grand master. Thanks for this video. Mabuhay Bobby.
Agreed. Even Bruce Lee's philosophy of JKD came from old Daoist approach and teaching.
GM Bobby taboada the best balintawak method of all time .
Why do you say that?
"there is a counter in every counter"
A true grandmaster
I love the way he promotes the "Art" of his martial art.
~'what I teach is simple, only 12 strikes. You have to find the rest for yourself.
"There is a counter in every counter", this i believe
A Truly Amazing Man.
Great Training And Such A Useful Art And Way Of Life.
Wise man..wise words !
You’ve got to love this guy, his mere presence commands respect.
Once you get to know GM, he has great sense of humor as well.
as i remember its called chain style "Endless Counter "
Nice 👍
I don’t know the Balontawak system-my Fma Background comes from Pananandata with Master Marinas and Kali Illustrisimo from BakabakannInternatiobal under the guidance of Master Rey Galang and Master Topher Ricketts1bit I’m old enough and been around long enough to recognize a True Master not just of the arts but of life and general when I see one-and Master Bobby Taboada is definitely a Master in the truest sense of the word-in ability, in knowledge, and in his humility, and devotion to his masters and his students-even if he isn’t comfortable with that title. God Bless!
Grandmaster Taboada understanding and teaching to incorporate what you have learned into his system and creating your own is something that Americans have a hard time with. Sosai Oyama and Grandmaster Helio and others have encouraged this in Kyokushin and Gracie BJJ.
I hope there's a training center also of FMA here in mindanao Philippines
I like the last part. "Tell everybody I'm the most handsome." 😊
Even though GM takes what does seriously, GM has a great sense of humor outside of the class setting.
I'm cry 1 of the best he is good guy hes lolo for my heart
A respectable man he is.
To all kali,arnis, escrima, single stick practitioners and who loves GM Taboada, our duty is to tell everybody he is the most handsome.
Mabuhay!
LOL! As always.
So true you talk '
The Tyson of Fma. Prove me wrong
I wish that be could part of this art .... i hope this art will launch in lapu2x
As if i was listening to a true master of such art. Pugay
Sana ma isapelikula yung buhay ni Grand Master Bobby.
Respeto!
me encanta cual es el dicho antes de empezar un combate y al terminarlo.en español please
Hi please show here the great art of Jose Caballero of Decampo 123. Now the owner of the system is the grandson Jomalin Caballero. Decampo 123 is a largo mano style means long range with fast and multiple attacks. Thank you.
We would love to interview and highlight Jose Caballero and Decampo 123 in the future. Our goal is to interview FMA teachers and different styles from around the world.
Good, kind and humble, just like Bruce.. The people should learn to respect and to value people like this until they go away from this world look what happens in case of Bruce Lee and his son Brandon.. After they were gone the whole world start to regret their desepearence
I like what he does. It seems to me that he is not overcomplicating things with bullshit disarms that are not going to work for real. Better to be quick and precise with the simpler techniques. That is what will work for real.
M.N.C.ENT
Well the way I look at it I think he already is The Grandmaster he will make a good martial art teacher I like your style I like the way he work to stick two blocks everything he he kisi it coming before you even through with the punch out of stick he's real good at what he's do he is the new Grand Master in my book so don't think a normal person going to run up on this man close-up they going to get their ass whooped in real life he is The Grandmaster I love Bruce Lee I really love Bruce Lee I love all different styles of martial art but this man right here he's good at what he do so get him his props the new Grand Master thank you very much
I would love to study his moves in slow motion.
GM Taboada's moves are so smooth and compact, that even when he goes slower, it still looks fast. Even if you think you're, he can also break your rhythm during play which will mess up your timing.
Thank Gawd I grew up in Charlotte!
Beginner classes for my son
