Hello All,

Just wanted to introduce myself to your new forum. My name is Louie Velasquez from New Mexico and I've been with FMA since Jr. High School in 1971 back in San Jose Calif. I enjoy learning and teaching to my kids now. I have studied under Manong Norlito Soriano(family style) , Cacoy Canete / Chris Petrelli (Doce Pares) and Jeff Delaney (Modern Arnis). I have been lately studying Indonesian Silat, cool stuff, I just wanted to know where in FMA does silat start and end within the style.

Greetings, Louie, and welcome to MT—it's good to have you with us, and you'll find a lot of FMA on this site (plus great infor and discussion about just about any MA in existence). Looking forward to reading your posts!

Hello All,

Louie Velasquez,

Welcome to Martial talk. :)

I and I am sure others would be very interested in hearing about Manong Soriano and his family style. Do you know from where in the PI he came from? Could you describe the system?

To your question, I think some Indonesian arts and some FMA's shared interaction either through trading or through agression, so it would make sense that there are some similarites to see for the counters to each other.
As I do not study any Silat system, I cannot answer your question directly. I apologize. I do hope someone can give more information.

Thanks
