I have to go into cyber space on marfial talk to hear about it. arnisador 03-30-2003, 10:14 PM It started in the Philippines, on a street named...Balintawak. Remy Presas studied it and it is no doubt the biggest single influence on Modern Arnis. http://www.visayanmartialarts.com/balintawakarnisindex.htm progressivetactics 03-30-2003, 10:30 PM thank you sir, very informative site. Who in Michigan/America promotes teaches Tat KunTao or Balintawak? Is it considered part of the curiculuum of Modern Arnis? arnisador 03-30-2003, 10:39 PM Originally posted by progressivetactics Is it considered part of the curiculuum of Modern Arnis? At the upper levels its seen in the WMAA (www.wmarnis.com) Modern Arnis curriculum. (I am associated with this group.) I don't think it's explicitly taught in any other Modern Arnis group--but they all have been influenced by it in the art's development.

I was very fortunate to have had GM Presas (a member of the original club in Cebu) sponcer me himself prior to his death. moromoro 03-31-2003, 05:27 AM who runs the balintawak club in detroit??
