Master Arnold, my teacher in KIRO, is one of THE nicest and most humble men I know. And one of the most skilful too. God Bless you Coach Arnold and your family.
Good interview. Thanks for posting. I always love hearing how genuine and humble Arnold is. No arrogance. I laughed out loud for a couple of things: How Filipinos (my parents are from Ilocos) say "pang-pang" as the getting-hit sound effect. And also, not so funny, my dad, born in 1907, always having a steel pipe wrapped in newspaper under the seat of his car (in addition to always carrying his .38 S&W snub-nose, and a decent blade). Ilocanos, man... Always practical.
Thank you Arnold and WMAT. I wish I could meet you Arnold in one of these days. I’m no martial artist but in my blood runs the ILUSTRISIMO. My roots were from Cebu and Sta. Fe in Bantayan. Lolo Tonio is from Kinatarcan ... and some natives knows there’s an underground tunnel from Sta Fe to Kinatarcan. The story he told about sword or bolo fight was once they called “sabong sa tawo” in reference to a “cockfight “. Lolo Tonio would like to be called “Alulod” his maternal surname. He already ascended to Heaven and was very makulit during the waiting process..He was with his friend Atty. Adrian Escario, the Ex-Governor of Cebu and his eskrima sparring partner in Bantayan.
Hey Arnold, are you teaching these days in Luneta Park? I'd love to come train with you during my visits to Manila, I love the movements of the Illustrisimo style, very similar to the kali I do.
Gusto ko sana magpaturo sayo sir kaso wala akong pang tuition. Gusto ko maging part sa pag preserve ng Ilustrisimo fav ko ang martial art kaso walang nagtuturo sa akin. May nakita ako kahapon sa luneta na nag aarnis tinanong ko kung anong klase ng Arnis yung pinapractice nila. Kasi iba-ibang grupo ang mga nagpaparactice dun. Napuna ko kc sa kanila bukod sa tatlo lang sila kakaiba ang turo nya compare dun sa iba. Kaya lumapit at nagtanong ako ang sabi sa Akin Ilustrisimo daw tapos nagpakita sya sa akin ng mga demo nagustuhan ko sya kasi Parctical sya good pang laban at pang depensa. Gusto ko sana magpaturo kaso wala akong pambayad para sa session kaya nanood nlang ako at nakipag kwentuhan sa kanila. Yung Grand Master pala na yun ay Si Martin Raganas magaling sya same ang movement nila ni Tatang. Kaya ako napadpad dito at nag search dahil kay Sir Raganas na nagtuturo ng Ilustrisimo sa may luneta. Kaya nag search ako dito sa you tube about sa Ilustrisimo kasi curious ako sa kakaibang istilo ng arnis nila. Sana maturuan din ako ng Art na to.

NOLD KMUSTA NA?
These stories are the dumbest of all FMA stories.
Eskrima is about "STICK FIGHTING"?!??? WTF! What a disgrace!
*BOBO!*
Yeah, you'll be outcasted by the community for sure.
mag comment ng maayos kahit di mo gusto, kung tatay mo kaya ganyanin, pilipino ka pa naman, arogante ka mag salita.
Noi Jadis Cailleach- ikaw ang BOBO! Kababayan mo rin ito...be more compassionate.
