a definite favorite of mine. His sense of counter time with slight body angulation makes for a tough guy to hit. Glad that Tony Diego, Topher Ricketts and Yuli Romo are around to spread the good word...
Each and every demo video of Tatang I saw is awesome. I can't imagine what a bless it would be to be trained by him. My utmost respect to one the greatest blademaster in history.
Simply amazing. Watch how he almost always intercepts the first strike. Unreal timing and precision. I was fortunate to train with Tatang on several occasions, along with Master Tony and Master Topher. Tatang was not quite as fast, but his timing was still as acute. Amazing.
So far I never had seen other Grandmasters in video that can use the blade better than this old man.... Awesome!!! More power to the Art of Kali Ilustrisimo. Thanks for posting this video..
He was one of the few real Grandmasters of FMA!!

This is the man that said "If you want to challenge my reputation, challenge me blade for blade, not with just a stick."
I only know of another Master of your generation of masters who would claim the same.
My hat's off to you Tatang.
