  • M- I am continued to be intrigued by the movement. I think the confines of that room blended well with your bagua and other styles. Small movements and flow in a confined area are something I need to work on. I love the various clips showing GM Sonny flow, the frailes, accelerations, swing step. M- how much of the movement do you equate to your time with the pendulum ball? woof - Peregrine

  • pirolak47 -

    Flowing with a master dancer and eskrimador like Sonny had no real comparison. The pendulum ball is a good training tool, you just got to have the imagination and/or the muscle memory from flowing, to know how to use it to it's full potential.

  • 1:15 - Awesomest. Parry. Ever.

  • Maestro Sonny Umpads sytle has become one of my favorites to watch. Much respect to him,family and his system. Maraming Salamat!

  • The Barong is such a superb close quarters combat weapon.

  • the smoothness and unpredictability of sonnys movements still has me in awe even after watching many times.

  • wow man, i own a cold steel Barong,i never knew it could be used in such a way,i thought it was a savage weapon made for hacking the living shit out of people,now i know i can hack the living shit out of people with style and class,even better.

  • Looking at his walls, I am imagining a burglar breaking into that house. What a mistake that would have been.

  • Guro maija it was great meeting you. you're doing very good job on teaching maestro sonny system. you and sonny look great flowing together. next time i'm there i would love to flow with you. let's keep in touch. Guro kibo. take care..
