The mission of Lakas Filipino Martial Arts is to educate, preserve and honor the martial arts from the Philippines as well as those fighting systems born from the Filipino American experience. This vision of this podcast is to capture and share the stories of teachers, instructors and mentors that have not only contributed their life and spirit to martial art, but have helped paint the portrait of who I am today, and what Lakas Filipino Martial Arts continues to develop to be.
Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 30: Guro Mark Mikita – The Iconoclast
I admired how articulate and precise his language was, not unlike the detailed illustrations that he painted inside of his school. I remember being particularly intrigued as he taught Sumbrada, discussing the difference between blocks and line closures, describing exigence and contingency. … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 30: Guro Mark Mikita – The Iconoclast

Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 28: Sifu Dwight Woods – The Rebel
“Yes! The rhythm! The Rebel!” – Public Enemy I started listening to Sifu Dwight Woods years before his podcasts, “The I Love Jeet Kune Do Broadcast“, “The Jeet Kune Do Dialogues” and “The FMA Files“. I started watching Sifu Dwight on YouTube back in the day, intently listening to his clips from his classes, talking … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 28: Sifu Dwight Woods – The Rebel

Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 27: Gat Puno Abundio Baet – The Chief
I see it in footage today, just as I saw it in person back then. But I cannot explain it. “It must be his position” I thought. “Or maybe the angles.” In the hot, and very humid Florida sun, we stood around Gat Puno Abon Baet at he easily touched his opponent’s head with his … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 27: Gat Puno Abundio Baet – The Chief

Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 26: Professor Guy Chase – De Cadena
“Watch how he moves. Look at him.” I looked over my shoulder for a moment. “Did you see him?” I was partnered up with Guro Victor Gendrano for the evening Kali class at the Inosanto Academy. I was there for Instructor Camp, so the school was crowded with both students as well as visiting instructors … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 26: Professor Guy Chase – De Cadena

Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 25: Lauren Mary Kim – The Stunt Woman
We all leaned forward, on the edges of our seats. As the Stormtroopers surrounded her, she sat still, forging tools in hand. One prodded her helmet with his blaster. Suddenly she sprung up, alive in action, her hammer and tongs whirling and smashing and crushing. We all shrieked in exhilaration! My daughter next to me … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 25: Lauren Mary Kim – The Stunt Woman

Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 24: Tuhon Ray Dionaldo – The Bridge
I could barely believe it. I was standing outside in the Southern California sun, looking up at the Ed Parker’s Kenpo Karate sign at his original school in Pasadena. I was about to go inside and meet Tuhon Ray Dionaldo, the incredible Filipino Martial Artist that had captivated my attention over the last several months … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 24: Tuhon Ray Dionaldo – The Bridge

Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 23: Dr. Mark Wiley – The Through Line
Sometime during my college years, I came across a book that truly captivated me and significantly influenced my views on Filipino Martial Arts. That book was “Filipino Martial Culture” by Mark V. Wiley. Growing up, I loved going to bookstores and my local mall had at least two or three. I would scourge the graphic … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 23: Dr. Mark Wiley – The Through Line

Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 22: Guro Steve Grody – The Flow
Guro Steve Grody is one of the pioneers in sharing JKD and Kali through video. He is the one that put Burton Richardson on, and propelled Mark Balluff to mega stardom. But what really set him apart at the time, and what is still immensely valuable to me was his emphasis on very specific components … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 22: Guro Steve Grody – The Flow

Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 21: Jay Enage – The Script
Guro Inosanto always shared with us that it was the martial artists, the warriors who protected the culture. He once commented that any culture that exists today, only exists because there were warriors there to preserve it. And as long as I have known about Filipino Martial Arts, I knew that somewhere in that culture … More Lakas Filipino Martial Arts Podcast Episode 21: Jay Enage – The Script
