It would really depend on the teacher. But looking back it's hard to say that it would be a certain styl. For each periode in my life there was a dominant style, and right now it's aikido: Nishio style.

Kenpo - following SGM Parker line. That would include most off-shoots.

Now to the reason why. Kenpo from that lineage tends to follow a logical path compared to a traditional path. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule.

I know this is a little off thread, but how can traditional not be logic? Or are you talking about a special form of logic?

HI All,

I would study Balintawak, for it will take
me a life time to get it all 100% Correct.

Yet, I enjoy it so much that I cannot stop!

Yari,

(* Note: Please if this post differs from you
history told to you, please do not take it
personnaly, only post it as you see it or have
been told. Thank you *)

Anciong Bacon was taught by the Seivadras (Sp)
before WWII. After WWII the Seivadras Ancoing
Bacon abd the Canetes and some others I believe
formed the Doces Pares. Due to some internal
issues GM Bacon left the Doces Pares. GM Bacon
opened the 'Balintawak Self-defense Club' on
Balintawak Street in Cebi City Cebu PI. Many
people stared calling it Balintwak as a shorter
name for the club. Then the CLub name become the
name of the art.

BM Bacon taught many many people, Villasin, Buot
Lopez, etc.,... . I will get a more comlete list
and post later tonight.

Balintawak is Stick Fighting, and after you
gain a certain level of understanding, you then
learn the emptyhand translations.

Like I said more later after I check my notes.

Personally, I would stick with Kenpo. I can find most of what I am looking for there.......

And anything I can't, well.......it can be incorporated....

Peace--

Thanks, I get the picture. And I think I've heard about Doces Pares before when practicing Modern Arnis.

I'd stick with Chen Tai chi - it gives one a chance to cultivate internal energy so I can live to be old and wise - also the martial applications are challenging and usually somewhat disguised so I can do some serious whomping when I'm old as well
