Master Class in the Filipino Stick and Rope!

Now Featuring the Sunday Expert Fencing and Combat Intensive

Guaranteed to Make You @$#!*&! Your Pants with Excitement or Money-Back!


 

Dear Friend,


On December 3, I will reveal the secrets to taking a humble stick and turning it into a weapon of devastating force.

In fact, this method is so powerful, you can use it to generate over 900 pounds of fight stopping power with nothing but a magazine.

You don't need to be huge to use these methods.

You don't need to be a blood drinking maniac, addicted to violence.

You can weigh less than a hundred pounds, and be shorter than 5 feet. You can be a normal, every day person.

That's how powerful you can make yourself with the secrets of the stick.

What I will reveal to you are the feared Filipino Stick and Rope fighting methods, shown both on the Discovery Channel and A&E channel.


Deep Immersion Seminar to Repattern Your Brain


As everyone knows, the fastest way to learn a language is to go to a country that speaks the language, and drop yourself off there.

You are surrounded by people doing nothing but speaking, living, and breathing that language. It will seep into your brain, filling every nook and cranny like butter on a bagel.

This is known as immersion training.

What I am offering you is an incredible immersion experience. For 9 hours on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday, I will lead you through step by step the core Filipino methods for becoming:

  • Fast

  • Powerful

  • Automatic and Reflex based in your decisions.

Just 1 chunk will open exciting, new martial arts opportunities for you. All six chunks will rewire your brain!


The 6 Sections to a New Way of Thinking

  1. Create Massive Power and Accurate Defense with the Stick

  2. Block and Bind with Nothing But a Jacket or Rope

  3. Secret Core of the Filipino Art—Going From Flow to Real Life Use

  4. Protect You and Your Family With Any Object, from a Pen to A Fist

  5. The Complete Double Stick Method—Nothing Left Out

  6. Expert-Only Sunday Section designed to refine your fencing and combat skills.


You can register for any combination of sections. Each section can be done by complete beginners.

The total immersion experience can only be had from the complete 6.

Regardless of how many sections you choose, you want to register quickly. 93.6% of my seminars sell out before the pre-registration deadline. If you wait, you will lose out.!

Let's take a look in-depth at the individual sections. Keep in Mind that I am taking only 8 students on Saturday and 6 on Sunday. You will be part of a rapidly learning, ready-to-go group.



Section 1: Create Massive Power and Accurate Defense with the Stick.


This section is 1 hour long. You will learn solid fundamentals of the Stick that will allow you to safely generate enormous power. You will also learn the fundamentals of stick offense and defense--

  • Learn The Six Strike Method-- a simple, but amazingly effective practice system to keep you growing long after the seminar.

  • Discover 3 Key Blocking Systems that allow you to safely stop a weapon swung even by a maniac.

  • Delve into the elegant, ball-room like stepping system that lets you outmaneuver your attacker.

  • Build power and precision through the Filipino strikes of Doblada, Abanyko, Punyo, Sungkiti, Banda y Banda and Rompida—and learn a simple system for practicing them and memorizing them.

  • See the power of the strikes for yourself,as a I demonstrate, beyond any shadow of a doubt, the tremendous power of these strikes.

  • Be amazed as you do the demonstrations yourself and realize how much force you can now generate!


This one hour alone will give you massive power and leave you with the ability to deliver this force to a cocky attacker. Is this something you want to be without?


Section 2: Block and Bind with Nothing But a Jacket or Rope


WARNING: This section involves both low violence techniques and sure-fire killing techniques. It is not appropriate for children or the squeamish.

When a violent man throws a punch at you or takes a stab at you, it's always with an expectant look like you're going to crumble before him and beg for mercy.

There ain't no mercy beggin' here, son.

The artful pleasure you derive from stopping that attack and tying his hand to his head in one fell swoop—well, that's what this section is about.

Learn to use any flexible object, like your jacket or a shoe string, to artfully bring regrets to the mind of a violent man. You will learn:

  1. Three key blocking techniques that let you stop a weapon cold.

  2. Control and Entrapment to stop follow up motions from the attacker.

  3. Binding methods for tying the attackers arms and legs to his own body!

  4. To Use the Most Deadly, Hand-Held Weapon in the World, the Garrote. This is a simple, sure-fire killing device.

Do I need to mention your chance of finding this training anywhere is almost nil outside of the special forces?


Section 3: Protect You and Your Family With any Object From A Pen to A Fist


In the Bourne Identity, Jason Bourne is shown using things like a pen, magazine, and Kitchen towel to defend himself. The art used in filming those scenes—you guessed it, Filipino.

In section 4, I will show you how to do those maneuvers for real. Not only will I show you how to do those in a controlled practice situation, you take it to the next level and learn how to do it reflexively.

There will be a table in the middle of the floor. On that table will be a mix of objects that you will learn to defend yourself with.

What's on that table?


  • Pasta

  • A Steak

  • Pens and Pencils

  • Kitchen towels

  • Keys

  • Coffee Cups

  • Spoons

  • Vegetables

  • A Paper Bag

  • A Copy of Cosmo

Of course, I will show you the same methods to use your hands in the dirtiest fashion imaginable.

Section 4: Secret Core of the Filipino Art—
Going From Flow to Real Life Use


Filipino Arnis training is world-renowned for the ability to improvise and transfer mere lessons into real world application. If such a martial art skill is important to you, then you want me to show you the Filipino flow method.

  1. Be able to move smoothly from long distance to close distance and from close to long, when it is to your advantage—and not your opponent's to do so.

  2. Develop automatic hands! Have your hands move without you and be in place before you can think about it. How often have you been stuck playing catch up to a craftier or faster opponent. Let me show you a set of drills that will have you wondering how your hands can think faster than you!

  3. Pull off Complex Moves. Moves that you thought were so hard that no one could do them in real life. Only you'll do them in real life in real time.

  4. Collapse your head-at least the part that gets in the way you doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done.


Section 5: The Complete Double Stick Method--
Nothing Left Out!


When you want to, with great flair, beat an attacker like a heavy metal drummer playing a sold-out gig on a drum set he knows he's going to trash, you turn to the Filipino double stick method.

It's half chess, half drum solo, half blinding speed. Yeah, I know that is three halves, but that is how quickly you can teach a lesson to a would-be attacker using this art.

Double stick has so much flair and potency, that most martial artists have learned some double stick method. What I am going to show you in two hours is a complete double stick training method. Not the handful of things that most people learn.

You're going to get right to the heart of the art!

  • Master the simple rhythmic movements of Sinawali and find out what their fight value is.

  • Learn the partner patterns of the 12 strike method and the 5 block methods that turn your sticks from harmless showpiece to harmful defense piece for anyone unwise enough to attack you.

  • Intricate and Difficult, I will immerse your brain up to its coiling recesses in the Doble method. You will absorb commonly taught patterns, and patterns that are typically shown only to experts.

  • Discover the Break Rhythm drills that will open the chess-like element of double stick method to you.

  • FREE BONUS Part—You can experience the blazing fun of the double stick fencing method, if you're willing!

Double Stick is always a fan favorite, because it is so easy to wow friends and family!


Sunday Expert Only Section:
Advanced Fencing and Combat Drills


This is the graduate school course in fencing and combat drills. You need to have completed the Saturday seminar or get my permission to attend the class. I am accepting only 6 candidates. I will not at any time cover any basic technique in this class.

This class is 4 hours long. It will feel like something between taking an acid bath and grabbing onto a high power line, only less pleasant and somehow deeply fulfilling.

We will cover these 5 areas. They are the core of successful combat for sport or survival:

  1. Positioning.

  2. Entry and Control.

  3. Momentum.

  4. First Strike.

  5. Recovery and Counter strike.

FREE Bonus: I will provide 1 Free Foam baston to you when you register by the pre-registration deadline of November 11.


You Keep the Knowledge Long After


Most people walk into a seminar thinking that it's a long class. That's the last thing that this seminar is. My seminars are specifically designed to take advantage of the seminar experience.

I guarantee two things with my no poop no pay guarantee:

  1. You will find this seminar exciting (so exciting you %#$^ yourself), no matter what sections you take.

  2. You will leave being able to build your skills by yourself, long after the seminar is over.


In seminars, I concentrate on creating an exciting, immersion experience that really drives the knowledge into the dark corners of your brain.

All of us remember exciting things easier than boring things, right?

Next, I concentrate on teaching take-aways. These are things that you walk out of the seminar with and are able to do yourself and easily make steady gains.


What are My Arnis and Teaching Skills Like?


My Filipino program has been featured in S.W.A.T. Magazine. I have also been featured in Black Belt and Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine. I have trained many hundreds of people in weapons arts and have had thousands of total students.

My simple online teaching materials are used world-wide.

What Others Are Saying About This Fantastic Seminar


The flow section was a mind bender. It had great takeaway value. I could show anyone how to use the stick to defend themselves. The seminar didn't drag on, because it was all very interesting and you kept things going. I would very much recommend it.”

--Anthony Garcia, Timberline Area, Flagstaff.


I would definitely recommend this seminar!”

--Austin Kingrey, Doney Park, Flagstaff.


The rope fighting was my favorite, because it was so practical. You could take any piece of rope or cordage and turn it into a functional weapon. It was incredibly useful.

The whole seminar was doable. I would recommend the entire seminar.”

--Caleb Loughran, Southside, Flagstaff.


This was a great way to get into stick fighting. I'm glad you made it available.”

--Dylan Wolff, Lockett neighborhood, Flagstaff.



Can You Do this Seminar Physically?


Every individual section of this seminar is designed to be doable by a complete novice. The pacing is a steady, continuous output of energy, much like going for a hike.

I am confident that anyone can manage the stamina for any single section. However, the Saturday Section is a total of 9 hours. You should look at as a 9 hour hike across moderate terrain.

Fatigue can set in by surprise, so I am providing my special “No mas,” guarantee. I will refund your money for any section you are physically unable to complete on your request. You can keep all Early Bird bonuses, and watch the remainder of the seminar at your leisure if you want.

Without exception, you must have eye protection.

You are required to have 2 rattan sticks, 28 inches long. I provide these for FREE if you beat the pre-reg deadline.

No Poop No Pay Guarantee


Let me explain to you where my no poop no pay guarantee came from. First, I absolutely believe in guarantees. If you've got the stuff, there is no reason to not guarantee that you've got the stuff. If a person doesn't deliver what he said he would deliver, I would certainly want my money back.

In 1998, a martial artist asked me how I got my hit power (my strike power is top tier world-wide). Let's call him Joe. I am changing his name because I didn't get his permission to use it.

Joe was well-trained and very experienced. I explained it. He didn't believe it. So, I offered to teach it to him, and told him I could increase his hit power by 50% in half an hour.

Well, Joe took me up on my offer.

Half an hour later, Joe was nailing a heavy bag with closer to 80% more force.

You know,” he said, “I thought you were full of @#&##! (Poop)! Turns out I was full of @#@!! (poop).”

Yes,” I said, “You were. There's some Charmin in the bathroom if you need to take care of it!”

Later, that would grow to become my no poop no pay guarantee.

Here it is: If you do not physically (poop) your pants, spiritually (poop) your pants, or mentally (poop) your pants from this experience, ask for your money back, and I'll give it to you without hesitation. You can even keep the FREE Bonuses.

By the way, I'll take your word on the poop. I have no intention of checking!




Your Saturday Investment


Normally, I charge $97 a month for 1 class per week in the Filipino Arts. This is a year's worth of lessons or $1,164.00 worth of training.

Add to that the fact that I teach Rope Work only in private lessons. My private lessons are $75 per 30 minute session, for $375 worth of lessons.


Total value (without including the value of the bonuses):$1,539

The Special for You: $27 for section #1. $37 each for all other sections.

Total Savings:$1,391.00



Your Sunday Expert Intensive Investment


This 4 hour intensive would normally cost you $600 for me to teach you this information directly.

My special offer for you is only $127, if you take just the intensive.

That is a savings of $473. That is a huge savings.
