Tom... All swearing and sailor talk aside I hope you have an opportunity to hook up with some serious old school guys.

Chances are good that it will be highly unauthorized and fairly brutal but the flavor of H2H will vary from Judo to silat.

When I play that we called it "therapy" among other things. Seriously ramped up randori, CQC or whatever they call it now days.

Years ago (in my service days) JKD was a "bad word" (among those guys) that got little but snide comments about that "pinko" BL and his fancy TV BS... He's just an actor...blah,blah,blah break his scronny neck...
Thai fighters were good sports for the most part, respected but not revered or feared.
Kali on the other hand... Stick fighters could be a real pain.

Once, when I went to Cebu...

ahhh, nevermind.

Enjoy your adventure buddy!
