It has been a practice that the secret of any system is not to expose the secrets., but to be kept in a place secluded not people to see. If somebody is bragging about his style right on the tuba or beer table someone will be irritated and on the spot he will be challenged. A place for one to be careful about what you know is Samar Leyte. Don't brag your Arnis-Escrima because you will be surprised that on the spot where you are not ready the blade springs out of the scabbard.
Some places also in Mindoro or even in Panay-Antique and most places in Mindanao.Experts in the Philippines do not talk how good you are , all what they know about their systems will come out if challenge is called for.
It was difficult for anyone even in the early 90's just for one to come out and expose himself as the Master or the best in the art. Only few had come out but not the majority of skilled fighters.
The Ginunting , the Talibong and Balisong are the favorites , these are the testing blades for challenges and even to the actual blade to blade encounter. The Ginunting had been tested against the Muslim Barong in one of the encounters of the Force REcon Marines where a Group of mILF numberd 50 warriors challenge Master SGt Prodo for a face to face duel in front of the muslim warriors and with the presense of the Force REcon Marines. Both signed an agreement that if anyone dies because of the duel no one claims and no one interfers. Comes to the challenge the Barong fighter initiated the attack on slash Sgt. Prado instinctively responded with slash into the risk then cut the wrist and the Barong drop to the ground cutting the right wrist, soas the Barong touch the ground for the Muslim warrior pick the barong by his left hand , Sgt Prado made a fast follow up and the cuts the left hand then followed to the legs and reverse the slash back to the right attack , the next target was the neck and without hesitation the head bounced to the ground waiting for someone to clsoe the eyes.
The langauge of the blade is on test. Continously applied in Mindanao updated by every day victims that serves the saying in heaven 12 virgins are waiting for those who can kill the Christian and the white man.
We believe in the purity of the fighting system. Be believe that the blade speaks in the langauge that cannot be taken for granted. Let the time speaks with wonder , how can I be good as good as my blade.
