Relationship between Modern Arnis and Balintawak

[Toasty]

HOLY CRAP!!!?

What the hell happened here?

It was just a question on how things differ - not which is better than the other.

I have exactly zero training in Modern Arnis, nor would I ever want to now - it appears that no matter what - unless you are a "Master of Tapi-Tapi" {that just sounds silly by the way} or a "Datu" - what ever you have to say doesnt have any validity, so I was asking about any similarities and/or differences that may apply to the art I study.

Oh yeah, on that "peer" thing - lighten up fellas, all we we do is swing some sticks around...
That does not make you a better anything...

Thanks,

Rob, Dan, Tim, Paul and Rich while it is very hard to have any
understanding about any art over the internet I think that all
of you have been pretty clear on your understanding of
Balintawak! Brian

Brian,
Sorry to say but you can't include me in the above group. Their understanding of balintawak FAR surpasses mine. I have only had a handful of lessons wiht Manong Ted and while his teaching has had a profound effect on my Modern Arnis, what I don't understand about balintawak could fill a book bigger than those I write.

Yours,
Dan

... oh yeah, And Now I Am Done with this.

Thanks for the very few insightful posts - and as for the other crap...


Please lock this thread before anybody else has catches a case of "internet diarrhea..."

I'm sorry Dan,

Your insight on Balintawak was much appreciated as well!
I am just interested because I have seen some Balintawak!
I do like how you laid out Manong Ted's approach to teaching and I
understand it is probably just one example! I am curious
also if the sparring in Balintawak is always controlled or if
there is ever a true exchange with contact allowed! I I will say
that the gentlementhat I know that practice Modern Arnis/Balintawak
are very good at what they do!

Thanks,

Rob, Dan, Tim, Paul and Rich while it is very hard to have any understanding about any art over the internet I think that all of you have been pretty clear on your understanding of Balintawak! Sounds like you are all very blessed to be training with a legend like Manong Ted! My good friend Ian also trains with Manong Ted and speaks very highly of him! When Rich is up in October maybe he can show me a little snippet of Balintawak!

Rob please continue posting every Forum needs good people to keep it going!

Yes-
we are very luckly to have met Manong Buot. The only down side is my 9 hour round trip to train with him.

Hell, Tim. Your down side is far better than my down side. :miffer: But yes, we are both very lucky to have met Manong Ted. If I never did publicly, here's my thanks for telling me about him in the first place and public thanks to Jaye Spiro for sponsoring me to train with him.

Yours,
Dan

Are we entering a "Martial Talk Throwdown" moment like bullshido does?

Tim, Dan

9 hours, now for good training that is nothing! (Just Kidding)
In my experience if you find something that works for you
and your enjoy it, even traveling around the world is just
a small sacrifice! It certainly speaks volumes for Manong Ted
that you guys travel so far!

Dan Anderson,

I am not going to be a jerk and pull a senior card in Balintawak. I think that your opinion has validity for what it is, and I thank you for the contribution. :asian:

McConnell,

Don't bring guys like Mr. Gauss or Mr. Smith into an arguement that is not theirs. I see that you have been hanging around Worden a little too long; where you USE your friends by including them in arguements that they are not involved in to bolster your stance. I don't have any disrespect for them, so stop bringing up stuff that was siad and resolved years ago.

The exact problem is that you feel the need to "prove" that other people are senior to me. There are a lot of people senior to me in time in, in age, and in various skills. But that doesn't give anyone the right to disrespect or slam me without recourse. That is "martialcult" B.S. that I refuse to put up with.

Respect is earned, not to be expected because you feel your someones "senior." If you wanted more respect, you should have given it. PMing me and saying that you mean "no malice" and then taking shots at me and my experience on a forum doesn't warrent respect. You got what you deserved.

Lastly, and this is to everyone: My phone line is always open to resolve issues in a professional matter; this includes Datu Worden, Guro McConnell, and whoever else. But, I am obviously not going to put up with slander and attacks on a public forum. One cannot expect to have a professional private exchange and then expect to be able to slam someone publically. One can't have it both ways.
