Well... as per the subject says. Any PinoyMTBiker who are still practicing? used to be? What are/were the discipline you belong to? Years of practice? I will not ask the level since this might be intimidate the others here who are not into this. Which dojo or recommended? Your respected instructor?  |

Somewhere between 5-7 years of aikido (traditional, hombu), under Royce Reyes and Abe Chavez senseis, both 4th dan. Then 2 years kendo (Manila Kendo Club) under 7th dan Yamanishi Koiji sensei.
For a short while I was very much into FMA, specifically pekiti tirsia kali, and trained with guro Rommel Tortal, who trains the Force Recon Marines at Fort Bonifacio, and also got lessons with guros Jun de Leon and Doug Marcaida.

remind me never to pi$$ you off hehe I'm a lover, not a fighter.  I much prefer the marital arts to the martial arts. ;D Besides, aikido is supposed to be defensive. And I was really into kendo for the spiritual focus, discipline, and the conditioning. And of course the supercool swords/armor ;D |

BJJ is cool. If I had time I'd learn it. But I think for pure self-defense, nothing beats FMA. I guess it's the way they train -- simple, basic moves and thousands of repetitions each session to really train the reflexes. Some styles like pekiti tirsia also incorporate ground fighting (dumog). Krav Maga (remember JLo in "Enough"?) sounds good, and I know there's a group that teaches/practices in San Juan. |

I'm getting some good bandwidth at the office today, and went exploring in Youtube. Found some good FMA videos for you guys:
Force Recon Marines and Pekiti Tirsia w/ guro Leo Gaje -
A BBC TV feature on PKT. The guy in black shorts that Gaje is doing knife drills with is guro Rommel Tortal, whom I trained under for a while -- and a really nice, soft spoken guy. I haven't met Leo Gaje himself, but my friends have and I hear he's quite a character.
Lapunti Arnis De Abanico -
Beautiful video.
PTK in europe -
Filipino martial arts are HUGE in Europe, especially Germany. Skip the first 2 minutes of theatrics to get to the actual demo.Unfortunately the demo is mostly in long-range (largo) techniques, and set to music.
More pekiti -
This is a better technical demo, including some good empty-hand moves.

Woofers..nice videos. The military train in Pinas is totally different from the US. Now the U.S military and Cops are mostly Jujitsu. Royce Gracie use to train the LAPD.

Jujitsu (or aikido, judo, etc.) is great for subduing people without causing undue injury. Just what the US needs, with all it's lawsuit-loving citizens. FMA would probably be considered too violent and barbaric for law enforcers.  I guess it's different all around the world. Tokyo Riot lespu Squad trains in Yoshinkan Aikido. Regular Tokyo cops take judo or kendo (2 of our last visiting Japanese kendo instructors were also policemen). I think the Israeli armed forces train in Krav Maga. |

Dalikado mahawa sa HIV , or mentally deranged individuals are impervious to pain or 250lb juiced muscle heads too difficult to subdue Re: Machado JJ - pan am bjj tournament pala , and the 2 guys I saw were probably Aussies. |

I just read in "Lance Armstrong's War" (great book, BTW) that one of Lance's bodyguards at the TdF was a Pinoy pekiti-tirsia instructor, Erwin Ballarta. Ballarta also protected George W. Bush when he was governor, and trained various law enforcement and military agencies. More about Ballarta here: www.csoonline.com/read/080105/briefing_brief_lance.htmlHe even has his own Wikipedia page! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Ballarta |

I trained boxing for sometime then a bit of Muay Thai. I want to train BJJ but besides being expensive, training is usually at night which is the same time I work.
Besides the arts mentioned, wrestling (greco and freestyle) would be interesting too. Not too popular here though.

If your into Martial arts... our primary goal is to strengten either our physical or our spiritual being. You don't study such discipline and look for a fight...instead we are trained to be more peacefull and tolerable... because I do believe If a person who is trained under any discipline can inflict injuries..result=lawsuits of serious physical damage...even if you used it to protect yourself... my discipline... Muai-thai...as for me it's one of those most practical... a good elbow and knee strike would surely bring you down (if you know how to perfect it)... I belong to the striker class... Presently we started again at Marikina Sports Center... and I'm proud to be under the supervision of Mr. Reejoy Rivera who was trained by Sir Lapuz with the traditional art from Thailand whom the King of the said country aknowledges before anyone else here in our country. Any one interested could join us...Here is one of shadow fights against a Jeet-Kun-Do VS Muay-Thai... Again this is just a simple shadow sparring/fighting...hitting is really not an intention at the moment...this is only a "DEMO". youtube.com/results?search_query=marikina+sports+center&search=SearchThe guy in Thai shorts is my teacher and Kumpare...once a member of the Philippines Amateur Thai-Boxing team-B the guy doing jeet-kun-do nailed 4 holdapers in baclaran in real life...also a friend of ours...he also demostrate the 1-inch punch to me...OUCH! ! ! |

aikido since '91 or '92 i think. i just fell in love with the art of self defense,hehehe..... practiced til' late '04. i used to practice almost everyday... but i rarely practice now.and i still feel like a beginner in the art. i started with combat aikido for a little more than a year then practiced traditional aikido with sensei francisco valencia(the 1st filipino aikido blackbelt) of the iloilo aikido dojo club. also practiced sometimes with sensei abaygar(sensei valencia's student in guam before) fell in love with traditional aikido and practiced it for sometime... now that i'm 30lbs heavier,hehehe..... i make it a point to practice at least 5 times a year...hahaha..... ;D but still the best self defense is avoidance.. ;D
