Not only is his speed impressive but his control is precise. How many praticioners or teachers hurt their training partners regularly? Thanks for the post.
You know...of all the videos Ive seen of Tatang, this sparring partner is the only one Ive seen that looks like he could have a chance against him in a real fight. Excellent stuff.
He's not a sparring partner. He was a student. And he would have no chance at all against the old man. If he had a chance, he won't be the student. If you don't believe me, then just ask him.
Wow. Tatang Ilustrisimo is still amazing. Rest in peace Tatang and Master Topher.

You gotta love the fact that they were training with the music of "Inspector Mills" by America and Joe Mari Chan's "Refrain" in the background ; P
RIP to both masters.

He had such a delightful attitude. Playfulness is important to martial arts as being too serious is like a poison.

Yes. Unfortunately, he died during the mid 90s. Didn't get a chance to train with him. Damn!
