mm.. i hope no one thinks ill of me since i'm once again looking for an instructor.

apparently, i'm moving back to NYC august 20th. this saddens me because i fear for finding a good instructor.

does anyone know of any good instructors in the NYC area? it would be nice if i could continue my balintawak training. but, if no one knows of that type, i'll go for any instruction in combat martial arts.

XSFX,

This is sad to hear that you will not be able to train in Balintawak in the PI anymore.

If you are ever in the Detroit/Pontiac/Ann Arbor/Flint/Lansing Area of Michigan, let me know. I will do my best to see if you can be introduced to Manong Ted Buot

Good Luck in finding a new instructor. :asian:

Found the name:
Zack Tako... who trained in Balintawak in the Philippines and moved to NYC. Met him a year ago. Don't know if he is still in the city.

Only met Zack briefly, but I believe he said it was Teofilo Velez.
