First of all I would like to thank Sir Bob Tabimina for giving me the opportunity to train with him and the Velez brothers who recommended me. It has been a longtime since I met a person whose skill level is just too high and awesome that makes me feel like a baby again. What he showed me was only the tip of the iceberg but it was more than enough to convince me how good and dangerous he is. It is hard for me to describe his skills in to words. He is just that good.

He has his own approach of the game. The range is a little bit closer and intensity is different. Its purpose is to eliminate that so called “fear factor” and make it a comfort zone. One of his training is to develop how to control your adrenaline under stress. He has his own way of developing your own sensitivity in training. Most of my experience in sensitivity training is more on contact where you will know where he moves without thinking. Sir Bob’s sensitivity are both in sticking and detaching. Even without physical contact you can react by using your sensitivity. In detaching that is where we develop the synchronization or timing of your enemy’s movement. It is on way of developing your AURAS Sensitivity (The aura or energy field is usually invisible to the physical vision but most people can learn to perceive it in one-way or another with practice. Most human Auras extend from 1 to fivefeet out around the body). In training Sir Bob act as a stimulus to the student. As a “stimulus”, Sir Bob could “force” your body to move appropriately (simple, direct and economical). His training method also helps you to develop good body mechanics that are very applicable in empty-hand fighting. This system is very deep. That’s the essence of the term SIMOT or SNIFFING.

It was a great honor and privilege to cross train with one the best direct student of Anciong Bacon. Sir Bob Tabimina was one of the early students of Mr. Velez in the late 60’s. Mr. Velez endorse Tabimina to GM Bacon( Balintawak Founder) for more advance training. In spite the fact that was trained by the great Anciong Bacon he still continue to be loyal and grateful to Mr. Velez. He still acknowledges himself as a Teovel’s and told me that he is the most senior among us here in the United Sates. From the very bottom of our hearts we the WOTBAG people deeply salute and support you Sir Bob. The Velez brothers Chito , Monie and Eddie are very happy and proud of you. More power to you and the rest of the Tabimina Balintawak Group from WOTBAG ( World Original Teovel’s Balintawak Arnis Group). Wish you all the best and success.

Respectfully Yours,

Eugene
