Sorry for changing the subject a little bit, but has anyone done much Filipino boxing (I think it's called "pankuantuan" or something like that)? Supposedly it mixes open and closed-hand techniques with kicks and bites. Is this accurate, and how does Filipino boxing hold up to Western boxing for use on the street?

Also, has anyone tried to mix Western boxing with tai chi, or incorporate kali training into Western boxing? Some people have told me that mixing boxing and tai chi has given them an edge because it has improved their body mechanics, and that doing kali weapons drills will improve hand speed and reaction time.
