We are grateful for you feedback

“Jay is an amazing teacher! He’s instructed both my kiddos during the amazing Sama Sama Summer Co-op Camp, in eskrima/Filipino Martial Arts, and my husband and I took Zoom classes with Jay during pandemic. My body and mind learned so much about observing and positioning myself in relationship to another person, to take in angles, to work in rhythm with a pendulum flow. If you want to train with the best, don’t miss an opportunity to learn with Jay! (His training even helped me de-escalate phone calls with my mom! He’s that good!)”

Awwwww! … truly appreciate the time Guro Jay took to sit down and share his knowledge, experience, and perspective.

Our conversation went far beyond just the technical side of Filipino Martial Arts. We explored not only the system you teach, but also the deeper insights that come from many years of dedicated practice and teaching. Hearing how he’ve internalized the principles, abstracted the concepts, and made them part of his own expression was both inspiring and thought-provoking.

Discussions like this are valuable for instructors and practitioners alike. They remind us that the art is not only about techniques, but about understanding, reflection, and the continual process of growth.

Thank you again, Guro Jay for your generosity in sharing your journey and your insights. The honor was truly mine.

I had an amazing morning in Oakland. It was a beautiful experience training in Visayan Corto Kadena Largo Mano and conversing with Jay Jasper Pugao. I’ll be unpacking the information for years.

“That’s awesome! Love the vibes and the movements of all the VSCK folks I’ve seen”
