VSCK Filipino Martial Arts returns to NYC | May 17!
Big NYC FMA energy came through and we had a great time! Thanks so much for having us! Maraming Salamat to our hosts Guro Joy @rjgruezo, Guro Alex @agruezo, Boo @boo_the_dj_takes_pix, and of course Guro Wilton @wiltonvalerio_fma and the rest of the @tsrkali family for making us feeel so welcome. Truly grateful for being able to train and see our fellow Filipino martial Arts peers in San Diego this past weekend. Maraming Salamat to all the participants, especially to the organizers and friends that continues to make us feel so at home in SD. Thank you again to Grandmaster Albert and the instructors that made it all happen, Master Jon, Master Howell, Master Ed, Master Cora,, Master Dovie, GM Ron, Maestra Jess, Jamie and Jeremie and of course all the amazing and talented practitioners that joined us Sunday! We will miss you and we’re looking forward to seeing you all again soon! Mag ingat kayong lahat! We had a great time flowing and training with our amazing friends and fellow practitioners in the great San Diego Metro area this past weekend for this year's VSCK seminar in SD! The #Bugsay (or the Ore 🚣) is more than a weapon with VSCK —it’s also a teacher of range. The VSCK @visayaneskrima Knife flow with Guro Greg @trs.vsck and Guro Jay @fmatrix01 at the VSCK Seminar at LegacyFMA in Daly City. Cane/ Largo/ Bugsay on Day 1, then Day 2 was all knife in a challenging, fun, inclusive, and dynamic place. A classic from the classics! Super excited and grateful to return to NYC to teach and share Maestro Umpad’s VSCK sytem to our martial arts community in New York and the East Coast on May 17th! Save The Date!
