Announcing the launch of Martial Arts Odyssey, the new Web TV show, starring Antonio Graceffo (The Monk from Brooklyn) as he travels through Asia, training and documenting martial arts.
The first episode was shot in the Philippines, and features Master Frank Aycocho, teaching Antonio the art of Filipino unarmed combat, Kuntaw. The pilot episode is airing on youtube but the full length series will be airing on a martial arts related Web TV Network to be announced after the contracts are signed.
“I love exotic martial arts.” Says Antonio. “The show gives me the opportunity to go anywhere I want in Asia and introduce a worldwide audience to an art that most people haven’t heard of. Kuntaw is a good example. Even in the Philippines many people don’t know about Kuntaw, and it is part of their cultural heritage.”
Graceffo is most well-known for his work to revitalize Bokator, the Cambodian martial art, which was decimated during the Cambodian Civil War. “I have done books and articles about these martial arts, especially Bokator, but Web TV gives me a whole new forum. The power of Web TV is nearly limitless. First of all, unlike my magazine stories, it can be enjoyed by people who don’t speak English. And unlike DVDs or magazines, people can watch for free. Some of the countries where I practice are quite poor. And I am grateful that web TV provides a medium which allows the local people to watch and learn. It also instills pride in people, when they know that the whole world will be looking at their martial art.” Said Antonio.
Currently, episodes are being filmed featuring Bradal Serey (Khmer kickboxing) and Bokator. Other shows in the works for October include Voth Vietnam, MMA, Muay Thai, Muay Boran, and Philippine grappling and kick boxing.
“Through the power of the internet, we now have the ability to preserve all of these ancient arts and make sure that none of them fall into extinction.” Says Graceffo

Oh I quite agree, but we are usually calling each other Post whores and talking about food we either did eat, or wish we were eating. It was almost like a serious post and just caught me off guard.

I would agree ... I guess I just don't like advertisements (other than what food is being consumed, that is)

:cheers:Couldn't agree more! The white crap is on it's way and I am not looking forward to it. Of course Brian will chime in here in a few and extol the virtues of cold and snow but we all know :wink:.
You are right, he loves the snow...I wish I could ship him my share of it...
Ahh I do love the snow and cannot wait for the first snowfall of the season. Definately a good time to take the class out and grapple in the snow.
So far the day has been spent watching my oldest son play soccer. In forty minutes the youngest takes the field.
See you all in a bit.

Having grappled in the snow in order to effect an arrest it's not something I enjoy..But ya gotta do what ya gotta do to put the bad boys away..
I'm glad someone does it. I grew up in Buffalo...this probably happened a lot to LEOs there!
