    @manhattan: you really know your craft and you speak with authority, which is very helpful for us who just "know" somethings. I would like to know what can you say about Wing Chun and do you practice it as well? I used to practice the Okinawan style Karate (more like the JKA style) for more than 2 years; and It seems to me that everything is more fundamental, you combine all the strikes, develop on your speed and power and reflexes and that's it. I don't see so much technique. When I saw the Ip man movie I remember my Karate back then (the ones the Japanese used in the movie) and it seems that is all there is. no offense to Karate practitioners.

    I don't know if this is true but a friend told me that according to bruce lee, Kung Fu (I think it is more specific on the Shaolin style) take so much energy and not fit for modern-day street fighting.

    I'm very curious about the "balintawak" and the Kali.

    anyway every body is welcome to answer my query sorry for the ignorance.

    Thanks a lot for the kind comment.....
    I only know a little to Wing Chun there is parts of it in the Dacayana Eskrima System and my Master Jhun Dacayana is a Master within Wing Chun Kung Fu, you can see a video clip with some of the Empty Hand training from the Dacayana Style here:

    YouTube - Empty hand 1

    I would say that compare to Karate (which i also tried 1 year, the style was Okinawan Shuri Ryu), then Kung Fu is more circular, both styles can be used if you know what you are doing....



    Balintawak was founded by GGM. Bacon, he had several good students, but the most known once are GGM. Atty. Jose Villasin (dad of my former teacher GM. John Villasin) and GM. Velez. My current instructor GM. Nick did train with both. The style it self is made from Eskrima, Boxing and Jiu-Jitsu.....
    I see many similarities in the mindset and movement between Balintawak and Bujinkan (Ninjutsu), both are very much aimed at street defence, are effective and has a lot of depth.........
    This is also one of the reasons i mix Balintawak with parts from Bujinkan (Ninjutsu)....

    I in general teach Balintawak (FMA) with parts from The Dacayana Eskrima System, Bujinkan (Ninjutsu) and Sports Ju-Jutsu....

    @ manhattan1: I appreciate the reply. Btw I used to know of a dacayana(not personally but as an instructor) in Iligan who was teaching Syurin Ryo. I don't know if this is the same guy or just by chance.

    Anyway do you think balintawak can be used in MMA/ or UFC as a discipline or something like that. CAn it be as dangerous or even more than a Brazilian jujitsu?

    I am sure Balintawak can be used in Sports tournaments like UFC or Kick-boxing matches like this video clip shows:

    GokoSha (Tat Kon Tou)/Balintawak vs. Yawyan (Kickboxing) | www.fma-arnis.dk

    Above video is a GokoSha (Tat Kon Tou)/Balintawak fighter versus a Yaw-Yan Kickboxer.....
    You can clearly see some things from Balintawak in his fighting style......

    Balintawak is aimed at the streets with bitting, head buts, elbows, knees, Eskrima stick, Knife fighting, pocket stick and the mindset of anything goes (same mindset as Bujinkan/Ninjutsu its about survival)......
    BJJ has its focus on the ground and keeps it clean, nearly all of the things above would not be a part of it....
    This does not mean that BJJ does not work on the streets, but only the you have to adjust it. Just like if we where to use Balintawak in a Sports tournament.....

    To me thats what makes the difference between Sports Martial Arts and the styles that aim at street self defence, what you think is most dangerous is up to you, but in the end your skills comes down to 3 things:

    1. You....
    2. Your instructor....
    3. Your style......

    There is no short cuts, the way you train is the way you fight!

    I tried both Thai-Boxing and Ju-Jutsu (Sports Ju-Jutsu, not Classic) back in Denmark....
    I would call both of them Sports, even that they can be used on the streets also...
    The Ju-Jutsu i tried was a mix of Karate, Aikido and Judo, so i kind of liked that it hand a good mix of different styles that was able to make you defend your self in Ground-fighting, close range and long range (kicking), my teacher was also one of the best within the area Carsten Ettrup 5xDanish Champ, 2xVice World Champ, he lives from teaching Martial Arts, which is not easy in my country, i was lucky enough to train with him 4-5 years.....
