Sayoc Kali Sama Sama 2003 Review
With close to eighty participants from all over the United States, Canada, and even as far away as Sweden, as well as representatives of an Elite military unit, and Masters of various styles, this years Sayoc Kali Sama Sama, was great success! Held at the premiere Off Road East Coast adventure park, Paragon Adventure Park, (www.paragonap.com), in West Hazleton, PA.
Starting on Thursday July 3rd, with some fantastic demonstrations and instruction by Tatang Baltazaar Sayoc, and his finger touch method, we quickly moved to Tuhon Roberto Torres and Kuntao/Silat (www.UnitedSilatAssociation.com) as well as the Sayoc Fighting System , and finally Shock entries by Tuhon Tom Kier. The material was starting to flow fast! As we moved on to July 4th, and just a couple of hours sleep, more and more Sayoc participants started arriving. Guro Blake and Guro Giangreco began a review and improvement of Transition drills 1-5. After practicing the various drills being highlighted Tuhon Kayanan and Guro Kayanan, taught Sayoc long blade methodology. Awesome entry and applications were taught in this segment. Both Tuhon and Guro Kayanan flow gracefully and can bring in highlights from various arts to share and help illuminate the various principals they were teaching us. Up next, was a special introduction to the Tactical Awareness school headed by Mike Jaco, a 24 year veteran of the Navy SEAL’s, and who’s list of accomplishments is far to long to list here, so head to his website at www.tacticalawareness.com for more information on the programs offered and his incredible resume`!!! Finally to wrap off the day, Guro Ray Dianaldo, http://warriorcraft.tripod.com taught the use of the kerambit and empty hand skills.
July 6th, started with more instruction by Tatang Bo Sayoc, in the finger touch method. Tatang Sayoc, had the largest members dropping to the floor with the minimalist movement. Awesome material! As we arrived back at the training area, Tuhon and Guro Kayanan introduced the Sayoc Tomahawk template and applications. After a short break, Tatang Sayoc, and Guro Pat Consing taught and demonstrated more of the Sayoc Finger touch method. Removing people from a chair, dropping them with several quick touch points as well as just more and more material, another great introduction to Tatang Sayoc’s work. Next up, was Guro Ray Dionaldo, assisted by Guro Rico, and Guro Travis. Guro Dionaldo started off with close quarters stick work, and trapping applications and then moved on to Kerambit. Trapping, entering, disarming an opponent’s blade all flowed fast and furious with Guro Dionaldo’s usual flair!
