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.
 
While not Balitawak instructors, these two guys are great teachers of the FMA:

Andy Filardo
Modern Fighting Arts Academy
509 Hicksville Rd.
Massapequa, N.Y.,11758
(516) 691-5425
Modern Arnis, Boxing, Kickboxing

or

Doug Pierre
Modern Arnis Dumog/Village Martial Arts
188 E 3rd St
New York NY 10003

Doug was former World Full Contact Stick Fighting Champion

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.

Interesting...who was Zacks instructor in the PI?
 
Only met Zack briefly, but I believe he said it was Teofilo Velez.
