When was this?

It took me a minute to register that he was going lefty!

I believe this demo. dates back to the early 90's.

Yes, Mang Ben was left handed.

What a great demo! Having met Mang Ben in 1998 at his home in Cavite, I love watching him perform and demonstrate his Lightning Scientific Arnis.

Thanks for posting the clip.

Respectfully,

What is the correct pronounciation of Master Ybanez' name? Personally I would read that as EE-banez but I have also heard him referred to as AYE-banez.

EE-bahn-yez.
