  • Kamusta, the Past Year at Berdugo Martial Arts Has Been Fun Filled And
    Kamusta, The past year at Berdugo Martial Arts has been fun filled and fast paced. We have had promotions, new students, seminars, demonstrations, tournaments and clinics. There has also been a revived sense of pride in our art and ourselves; the reason that Berdugo Martial Arts is the North American Headquarters for Kombatan Presas Style. First and foremost we would like to recognize the promotion of Junior Grandmaster Michael Bowers to full Grandmaster. Grandmaster Bowers has dedicated 19 years to the learning and teaching of Kombatan Presas Style with no substitution or modification to Great Grandmaster Presas’ vision. You can find out more on GM Bowers at http://www.berdugo.us/instructors/mike.htm and his perspective on Kombatan Presas style in the latest FMA Digest, http://www.berdugo.us/Docs/articles/Special- Edition_IPMAF.pdf. We would like to give a hand to all the other students who have passed belt promotions this year: Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Steven Lightfoot Phil Cavazos John Brainard Lorna Messinger James Latimer Roger Myers Level 5 Level 6 Level 9 Jason Evans Dylan McComiskey Alan Jackson Sam Mach Dr. Steven Jackson Ron Carlbom Level 10 Stephen Dietrich Lakan 2 Lakan 3 Sir Mike Millikin Guru Rick Brock Sir Jeff Schulden Sir Allan Stokes Sir Albert Tabino Sir Lona Vongthongthip As any family will tell you, we are happy to announce that we have had several new additions this year.

  • Il Kombatan È Uno Stile Di Combattimento Di Kali Filipino Che Venne Sviluppato Dal Great Grandmaster Ernesto Presas Sr
    KOMBATAN Il Kombatan è uno stile di combattimento di Kali Filipino che venne sviluppato dal Great Grandmaster Ernesto Presas Sr. nella provincia orientale Negros nel Visayas. Ernesto, fondatore dello stile filippino Mano-Mano, risiede in Manila ed insegna all’università di Santo Thomas ed al liceo come relatore di seminari attraverso le Filippine, L’Europa e l’America. Il Kombatan è un sistema composto da classici e moderni sistemi di combattimento usati nelle Filippine. Lo studente del Kombatan è introdotto nei vari sistemi tramite una completa immersione nei metodi di combattimento. Particolare importanza è data alla serie di esercizi ripetitivi che preparano lo studente a reagire istintivamente a determinati attacchi. Gli studenti sono incoraggiati a sviluppare il loro personale stile di combattimento usando i concetti del Kombatan. In contrasto con molte altre arti marziali orientali, gli studenti di Arnis imparano a maneggiare e a difendersi dalle armi. Questa filosofia ha dei grossi limiti culturali ma ha anche delle applicazioni pratiche. La popolazione filippina è tradizionalmente orientata all’uso delle armi da taglio. Tutt’oggi in molte aree rurali, uomini e donne usano spade e coltelli ne loro lavoro quotidiano. Usare una lama è il loro metodo preferito per l’autodifesa. Razionalmente parlando, preparare lo studente prima all’uso delle armi e poi al combattimento con mani e piedi comporta due vantaggi: è più sicuro insegnare il combattimento bastone contro bastone che insegnare a tirare pugni e calci al corpo dell'avversario se tu sai già difenderti da un attacco di bastone ti sarà molto più facile difenderti da un’aggressione a mani nude con calci e pugni perchè l’allenamento con i bastoni ti insegna a non commettere errori di giudizio.
