Hi all:
Since I wanted to keep talking I did the thread split here myself from the Symposium DVD Review thread. And off we go...

Rich Curren,
Remy Presas trained first with Moncal, and then Maranga, and then Bacon. Bacon being the Grand Master of Balintawak.
Now, if you told me the two were exchanging old stories about Remy's class mates (* Tabaoda's Instructors, or Instructor to his instructor *), or that they were both reviewing stuff they had learned. I would agree. If you were to tell me that Bobby was showing Remy some of the stuff added in by his lineage, then I would also agree.
Yet to imply, that Taboada Balintawak influenced Modern Arnis in any significant way, I cannot believe. I will believe that Balintawak as it was taught to Remy by his three instructors, including Anciong Bacon, influenced Modern Arnis.
- Errrm, ok, I wasn't implying that, although Tim Kashino has done an ample job of explaining how I think it may have influenced the introduction and display of Tapi-Tapi (or Tapik-Tapik, etc...) to Modern Arnis players in general by the Professor. I was more speaking of Bacon's Balintawak more than Grandmaster Bobby's as he and the Professor both had the same teacher at one point. However, if you see GM Bobby's movement and introductory training material, I believe you will see the similarities between it and Modern Arnis (at least Modern Arnis as I was taught it). That should be a more precise clarification of what I was talking about.
Thanks,
Rich Curren
