take a look at what moromoro said, which i got from deluxeforums,
i think that when dan inosanto realized the information he was givng, such as his dumug, kinomutai and the "kali" story, he should have been man enough to admit that this was a mistake. instead, he continues to tell and allow others to tell the unknowing the false informations.
what many filipinos complain about IS NOT the use of "kali" like i said i use it too especialy for advertising. "kali" is my son's nickname (for abdul khaliq) even, but i still tell people the real story behind Kali, especially when they come to me to learn it. what gets many people upset is to create a false history behind the name, and mislead people about your own art, which may originally be arnis or eskrima. and yes, i know filipinos in the philippines still do it, and i dont like it either when they do it.
i consider him an expert in the philippine fighting arts for ability and technique, but NOT philosophy culture and history. and i must say how disappointed i am that he does not wish to set the records straight, that he is not interested to go to the philippines, and that he sticks to the quick certification teaching methods.
but still, as i criticize him, as i said many times, he was one of my first martial arts hero, and my first philippine martial arts hero. :asian: :asian:

and hes right theres plenty of different types of names e.g escrido, Mig-Sune-Do, COJUKA, CAM-MASO.....
Main myth is the kali lapulapu link......
THIS IS THE PROBLEM..... Lucky this doesnt exist in the philippines but it is rampant in america thats to our good pal a JKD master
with all due respect he should do something to correct this...
