From interviews I did with Remy before he died I can tell you he learned palis-palis and ocho-ocho from his grandfather very young (5 years was the age I believe he gave me)

He traveled and studied a bunch of the arts before he went full into balintawak.

When he left he did so with Ancon's blessing and the understanding that he would not teach balintawak. Hence the birth of Modern Arnis.

He ran a judo club at a college in the PI.

I believe he is a fifth in shotokan but he claimed it was some Filipino variant.
