The Last Person.....

The Kuntaw promoted by my GM is more karate than kuntaw now- it is easier to teach and learn as karate, and he was starting to give out belts

And you didn't originally want to do that?

So you don't suppose any chemical warfare was used that could have started your physical immune-system problem?

I was at a food storage facility that got strafed by machine gun fire- The bullets destroyed the refrigeration equipment i was working on leaking hundreds of pounds of freon into the rooms I was working in- so that may qualify as chemical warefare I suppose

My GM is here in the staes- so I have trained here with him as well, but, at this time I am a black sheep as is silat1
we were booted out of the inner circle for not commercializing the art

If you don't mind me asking, who do you train under? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get a better understanding of your art.

And you didn't originally want to do that?

I started my martial arts endeavor in TKD- I was attracted to kuntaw because it was realistic, fluid, and nasty
not like robotic TKD, so I was being told to revert to TKD stuff and advance students before their time for more income for him

Freon, not stuff you want to mess with.... Glad you came out okay at least.

When you say 'we' I'm assuming you're talking about your group of students? I take this as your GM is making changes?

So you aren't training under him any more?

Most of my training was under GM Carlito Lanada
but I have trained under many FMA masters over the years- see my website
I run the first FMA martial art ever offered as a credit course in the US at Northwestern Michigan College

 

[kuntawguro]

we as in Bill Anderson, Herb Mac Arthur, Jim Boucher and any and all of our students

 

[kuntawguro]

no, I have not trained with him for 14 years
I have been in the arts since 1968 and FMA since 1970
I train with any one who has something I desire to learn
