I don't train with, nor would I recommend, someone who just knows a few moves.

My first recommendation would be Mr Terry Barnett, who is just outside of London, in Hertfordshire. Terry is a Full Instructor in FMA with over 30 years experience and is considered by many, including Guro Dan Inosanto, to be one of the best Panantukan teachers in Europe. I have trained with Terry for aprox 5 years, and can tell you from experience that his Panantukan is first rate.

Have a look at his website: www.integratedarts.co.uk

There are others in and around the London area, but if you want the best then start with the best. I hope this has helped.

Hi Michael,

i have heard of a guy called bob breen does this guy know the same stuff as terry's panutukan? also is panutukan better then muay thai for dealing with real life situations because if you pull a weapon muay thai wont be able to handle it but the panutukan will, is the correct?

i feelif a gut pulls a knife out on a muay thai guy he is finished but against a panutkan guy, pantukan man can handle it

John,

Guro Bob and Terry have been friends and training partners for over 30 years, they both came up under Guro Inosanto and are both full instructors. Guro Bob's Panantukan is also superb, Terry was my first recommendation as I have spent so much time with him, as opposed to Guro Bob who I have only had the fortune to train with on a few occassions. Guro Bob is closer to you, his Academy is based out of Hoxton Square, N1. I of course recommend him to you also. Have a look at www.bobbreen.co.uk

Your question on knife defence is a whole other world of discussion John, and the best approach (if one exists) is not exclusive to one particular art. What I will say is that Guro Bob Breen has an excellent reputation for teaching knife defence, so I would recommend him in this area also.

Good luck

Michael

Hi Firecobra,

What martial arts are you studying know?
Did you study the Panutukan under Bob, as bob may be good but there has to be differences between bobs stuff and barnets they cant be same?

thanks

Hi Michael,

Does Guro Barnett teach regular classes or just seminars and privates?

Hello Cat,

Terry teaches a Tuesday night class in Hertford, which I have the pleasure of attending. It has been full for quite some time I’m afraid and is now a closed door session due to space, however I do believe he has a waiting list.

He does teach seminars across the country, if you keep an eye on his website and you see one within travelling distance, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

He also has a team of Integrated Arts Instructors, a team that in my opinion (bias I am sure) represents some of the finest instructors in the country. If you let me know where you are, I may be able to recommend someone for you

Thanks

Hi,

sorry for the thread revival, but can anyone tell me if Panantukan contains chokes and strangulations as commonly found in Jujitsu?

---

I think I may a have a list of the panatukan progressions somewhere...does anyone want me to list it?

There are also a couple of videos that may help along your learning process while you work with your instructor and training partners (the only way to develop any real skill, sorry if that seems pedantic, but I had to say it for anyone who reads this)...Ron Balicki's work on the series to name one.

What I'd be interested to see, out of curiosity, is how much the Inosanto system panatukan varies from, say, FCSs Ray Dionaldo's stuff, or some of the other stuff out there. Oh well, time for me to take a look see.

If we step away from the word Panantukan, which many people use to label the boxing portion of the Filipino Martial Arts, and just look at the art as a whole then yes.

The study I have undertaken in the elements of FMA empty hand, Dumog and Kunsi, have included chokes and strangles, and these can be blended well with the boxing art to flow through the ranges.

The empty hand portion of FMA goes into great depth.
