Looking for any style in particular? The Manila Pitbulls would be a great place to start. They offer Pekiti-Tirsia Kali under Guro Rommel Tortal. However, it's a close-knit group and you just can't get in. You have to be invited.

There's also one more I can recommend, depending on what you are looking for.

Hey Reactor,

thanks for the info about the Manila Pitbulls. I was looking into them.

The styles i'm really looking for is combat judo and modern arnis. but, i will learn any other FMA besides those.

Combat Judo? In that case, you should check out Bob Silver Tabimina. He teaches Balintawak and his H2H is vintage "Combat Judo" a la Anciong Bacon. You can email him via his website http://balintawak.s5.com

I've seen only a little of PTK's H2H but the little I've seen has impressed me. I plan to train with Guro Tortal soon.

Re modern arnis, this is one way to go, although IMO PTK or Balintawak are better if you are after something combative. BTW, I speak from experience. I'm a Lakan Isa in Modern Arnis.

I'm a member of the Manila Pitbulls and let me clarify a point. Anyone can join us a student, as long as he or she doesn't have prior convictions for violent crimes LOL. No, You don't have to be invited to join us.

XxSweetFacadexX, just PM for details if you're interested in watching us train and maybe even join our class.

Before, we only accept people through refferals, but now everyone can join in our new training schedules.

I recommend the Lightning Scientific Arnis Internationa/LESKAS group in UP Diliman..here's their web page..

If you want no nonsense combative system..LSAI is for you..if you want the nonsense ones..then go to other systems..

KASA Mo?

Today is my last day here in Phil. Go back to England tomorow (received brown belts yesterday) , been training with Grandmaster Ernesto Presas and his blackbelts. They are great (I would say they are the best but i dont want to start an internet war, but trust me......they're GOOD)

you will NOT be disapointed

Good luck, happy training

Hello,

This is a question to the balintawak people may be able to answer.
Where is Tat Kon Tou taught? Is Gokosha still taught? If not is there any book/video on the subject?

Thanks,
