Wish I could be there ... good luck, and give my best regards to Tom, Russ, Kevin, ...

Cheers,

[RETIRADA]

Thanks Arnisador and Alex (I will send your regards to them). This is actually the 6th Ilustrisimo seminar that my club has hosted. The first one was with Rey Galang when I was in Calgary, the next 3 were with Norman Suanico and the last 2 with Tom Dy Tang.

The Ilustrisimo system is slowly gaining a foothold in this area with all these fine KI instructors.

We are also fortunate to be supported by the Balintawak and Pekiti Tirsia/Dog Brothers groups over here.

Louie

Wow! See you guys in BC next year. I'm moving there. :)

[RETIRADA]

Hi Sicilian....kumusta.

Great ! Are you also a student of Manong Tony ? The FMA scene in the Vancouver area is quiet cohesive with almost zero animosity as majority of the FMA clubs support each other. The FMA community though is significantly small here compared to that of the U.S.

Louie

I train with Mang Romy pare. But hopefully, after my Thai fight this weekend, I'll also try to train with Mang Tony.

[RETIRADA]

All the best to your Muay Thai fight. There is an excellent Muay Thai club here in Vancouver headed by a fighter from Cambodia. Muay Thai is also popular in Calgary, Alberta. A friend of mine teaches the Thai weapon arts of Krabi Krabong over here.

Sa Los Angeles, mas madaming Muay Thai.

I have not yet met Mang Romy, is he from Pampanga ?

I usually train with Mang Tony whenever I visit Manila.

Ingat.

Louie

[Sicilian]

No dude. Mang Romy's from Makati and Las Pinas.

Yeah. I trained at Sityodtong LA when I was there for 2 years. But honestly, training here in the PI with the RP team is almost at par with training in Thailand. My big problem with most Muay Thai schools in North America is the student to teacher ratio.

Here with the RP team, the teacher to student ratio is 1 on 1. And way cheaper. :)

Ingat pareng Louie. Are you based in BC?

[RETIRADA]

Hi Toby,

Yes, I have been in BC since 1990. Prior to that I lived in Los Angeles for 6 years.

Are you migrating here in 2010 ?

Regards,

Louie

[Sicilian]

Yup. Just to get my permanent residency brader. :)

[eome]

Kindly send my regards to tom and russel.

[Raul]

Good luck and keep us posted.

[RETIRADA]

Will definitely keep you all updated with regards the KI movement here in the Vancouver area.

Jesse Glover (Bruce Lee's first American student and assistant) is having a 2 day seminar here this weekend and Tom will be doing a KI demo during this seminar.

[RETIRADA]

The KI demo of Tom Dy Tang went well this afternoon at the USS Combatives 2-day seminar featuring Jesse Glover.

Tom will have a 4-hour seminar next month to be hosted by the Ikatan Kali club.

Wow 20 years. That's a lot. Must be a good seminar

RETIRADA,
How long have you been training Ilustrisimo exclusively? Are you Kalis Ilustrisimo Orihinal Repeticion too?

[RETIRADA]

Hi Nigel,

Kalis Ilustrisimo Orihinal Repeticion is definitely a major influence in my training and teachings. I have taken the opportunity to learn from Tatang Ilustrisimo's 5 direct students and a few 2nd generation students. I started learning the Ilustrisimo system in 1996 (but have been in the FMA since 1985).

What group do you belong to then?

[eskrimakaliarnis.com]

How about you "Nigel".

What group do you belong to?

[RETIRADA]

What group do you belong to then?

Hi Nigel,

I do not 'belong' to a specific group or association. I have my own group here since 1990. I have my own personal expression of the FMA having been learning and training since 1985 from various teachers in the Philippines, USA and Canada.

I am an 'independent' instructor. I respect and give credit to all teachers and peers who have influenced me.

[RETIRADA]

The 2009 Kalis Ilustrisimo Orihinal seminar went well today with support from the Pekiti Tirsia/Dog Brothers, Balintawak, Ikatan Kali, USS groups as well as law enforcement personnel.

Aside from Tom, there were also 2 other direct students of Manong Tony Diego who assisted.

Thanks to all who supported this event. Till next year....

I do the same. IMHO this is the path we should all seek. Build a base but when built express your work in your won way paying homage to your teachers but definitely putting your expressions out there. In this way the arts grow and flourish under new perspectives.

Just booked a ticket to Vancouver. Really looking forward to this event! Will be in town for a week or so. Hope to train with the KIRO group as much as possible.

[RETIRADA]

Have a safe flight to Vancouver, Canada. You will meet several Ilustrisimo practitioners here. We look forward in sharing the art with you.

[Sicilian]

Awesome seminar. I'm glad all the Canadian eskrima groups are getting along well. It was great meeting you all.

[Sicilian]

More should've attended, I had 5 people confirmed but there was a BJJ seminar by Megaton Diaz the same day. Next time I'll be closely coordinating with other gyms to avoid conflicts. Nevertheless, good job by Tom Dy Tang, Russell Lim and Louie Lindo (the seminar host). Congratulations for a successful seminar.

[RETIRADA]

The 4th Kalis Ilustrisimo Orihinal seminar in Vancouver by Tom Dy Tang was a success with over 30 participants and instructors in attendance from: Pekiti Tirsia, Dog Brothers, Balintawak, Modern Arnis, Silat Cimande, etc. There were also law enforcement personnel in attendance. Special thanks to those who came in from Washington and Michigan.
