This is also cross posted in Memorial Hall, please use that thread to show your respect.
I would like to use this thread to discuss the Balintawak Family and those that are carrying on the art.

I've also just been advised from Tony Veeck's Balintawak group - that their
Grandmaster Arnulfo L. Mongcal also passed away on January 15th 2005. GM
Mongcal was one of the top students of Balintawak founder - Venancio "Ansiong"
Bacon. Another major loss for the eskrima world.
