Filipino Martial Arts: From Kali and Escrima to Boxing

October 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment


On October 27, 2010 Guro Dan Inosanto and three other presenters gave a great presentation about Filipino Martial Arts and History. Several of his instructors and students attended and many from the general public were there. They came from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and Bob Carver, one of Guro’s senior instructors, drove down from Canada. The event was well attended and the presenters did not disappoint. There was a short movie about Filipino boxers and some of the history and culture of the Filipino immigrants and then the panelists presented, followed by a Q&A session.
Guro Inosanto generously gave a great demo and shared many stories with the crowd. He moves at lightning speed, so it helps to have it here on video!

Bob Carver
Steve Braun, Bob Carver, and I got to kick around D.C. for a bit while waiting for the event to begin. We saw some great Asian exhibits and took in a little of the Mall. Bob C. and Steve are serious history buffs, so it was quite an education for me!

Joel Clark & Steve Braun
Next we headed over to the auditorium early and got to hang out a bit. Steve and I got to move a few things around as temporary stage hands. We sat in on the sound check and met some of the presenters. It was a great time and it was so good to see familiar faces. A lot of Guro’s instructors and students came out to support him and, as usual, he was awesome. After the presentation, Steve and Joel even had the opportunity for a Geek moment with C-3PO. Fun times!

Randy and Nok Hodges explaining their great NOK Knives. We highly recommend NOK knives for hard sparring and drilling. That’s why we carry them here in our store. They are sturdy blades and we use them when we spar here. We use aluminum trainers for skill work, Sharkees for moderate sparring, and we use NOK blades when we want to go all out.
