What exactly is the difference if any between Sayoc Kali and "SAYOC KALI-SILAK"? I know there are three stages of Sayoc Kali, but are these different arts all together?

Hi Arnisador,

I am not a student directly in the Sayoc-Kali system but I found the definition at their website:http://www.sayoc.com/faq.htm.

It appears that it is the second level of instruction for their system. It appears to be based on counter-offensive strategies.

I wonder what it means then:
Master Dionaldo is ranked as one of the top three instructors in SAYOC KALI-SILAK under Tuhon Christopher Sayoc as a Lakan Walo Guro (Level 8 Instructor)

Does it mean he has not yet started the third level? I've heard nothing but great things about Mr. Dionaldo and am not questioning his background--this issue has come up before with Sayoc Kali and I'm curious how it works.

Hi Arnisador,

From talking with Ray, Silak is the counter-offensive for knife and empty-hand attacks. The basic system and Silak comprises the most comprehensive curriculum of the Sayoc-Kali system.

Bakal - is a specialty within the Sayoc-Kali system. It does not necessary supercede but compliments the first two levels. It includes the projectile arts and quick-drawing/deployment methods among other things.

It can be equated to the bullwhip specialty or Kerambit, it is seperate yet compliments the prior knowledge base. Ray has received training and uses those techniques from time to time however, he concentrates on the Silak portion for now.

I hope that I made this more clearer. I am sure that it may contain some significant omissions, oversights, or generalizations but again, I am not that familiar with the Sayoc-Kali system.

Hi Chiduce,

Curtesy and respect to you!

Yes it is. Everyone is welcome to attend!!! The information concerning the seminar is included in the initial post.

This is not the first North Carolina appearance for Ray. My instructor, Sifu/Guro David Ng of Raleigh, NC has hosted him for about 2 years with the last successful event being April 2002.

He and Ray have gracious allowed me to introduce FCS/Sayoc-Kali to the Greensboro area for the first time. I teach Modern Arnis and Ray's FCS Kali at the YWCA of Greensboro on Thursday nights 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

Hello Everyone,

My group's first hosting of a seminar was a success!!! There were 31 seminar participates with no injuries!!!

Ray Dionaldo did an excellent job presenting in the formal seminar Sayoc-Kali knife theories and applications, Kerambit applications, Modern Arnis Tapi-Tapi combat applications, palusut techniques, cane submissions, knife-tapping/hubod isolations, Espada Y Daga, Sikaran and knife impaling using the Professor's dumog set, and much, much more!!!

The informal training, which I invited to any interested willing seminar participant at no additional cost, included Ray's required stick forms for FCS Kali, broken six-count (Espada Y Daga) sombrada, abanico sombrada, Sayoc Whip, and much, much more.

Some awesome information has been captured on tape and will eventually be available for sale. The seminar tape will contain some incredible kerambit techniques and applications.

The private taping, however, will be for sale exlusively for FCS members only that desire a reference guide for basic instructor and higher certification.

Finally, many thanks to the people who helped me put together this first successful attempt of sponsoring a seminar: Ray Dionado, Rico Cortez (Ray's Uki), Lyndon Johnson, Eric Bullock, Roland Rivera, and David Ng.

Much thanks to all of the participants who represented North Carolina, Virginia, and Stan (from Alabama), the Raleigh crew, and especially, my personal students who attended.

Best regards,

Palisut,

Congratulations on the turnout, sounds like you had a great time! Sorry we couldn't make it. Let me know when the tapes are available. Any chance they'll be on DVD? If not VHS is good, and how much?

Hi Andy, Cthulhu,

Good hearing from you guys!!!

We had a blast. I will let you know when the tapes will be available. Ray was so excited about what was captured that he wants these tapes to supercede all of the previous tapes for FCS-Kali as well as wanting them to be the source for knife/kerambit applications.

Get your bags packed for a change of scenery, we might have an FCS Gathering in North Carolina one day...from palm trees to pine needles::).

Talk to you guys later,

Palusut
