My training partner Mario Guevara and I
recently purchased the Silat series.
2 and 3 are excellent. ..
This is GOOD silat. I have
trained with Dan Inosanto, Willem DeThouars,
Herman Suwanda, Harold Koning, Bruno Cruicchi, Cass Magda, Cliff
Stewart, and
others. Blaise's SILAT is the good stuff, the old stuff, the real
killer
material.
I thoroughly enjoyed his presentation, organization, and demonstration.
I am looking forward to all
of the Bonehead material and anything Blaise has
to offer.

It has come to my attention
that there are some on your eskrima forum
questioning the skills of Blaise Loong and his Yashai Warcraft
system. I am
writing you today to offer you and your subscribers the highest
testimonial
and recommendation for Blaise and Yashai Warcraft.
A little of my personal background
first. I started my martial arts career
in 1988. I currently hold a 2nd degree Black Belt rank in Kempo
Karate with
Brunswick Martial Arts Academy in Brunswick, Maine. I have also
held a
Black Sash ranking in a Kung Fu style called Tien Shan Pai from
Body Balance
Tai Chi and Kung Fu in Clarksburg, Maryland.
I met Blaise in 1998 when
he came to Brunswick Martial Arts Academy to give
a seminar in Yashai Warcraft. I was GREATLY impressed and have
not missed
any of his seminars since. I thought his techniques were fluid,
swift and
devastatingly effective using knives, eskrima sticks and empty
hands.
Blaise also demonstrated that the Yashai system is very adaptable.
He
demonstrated how a technique with, or against, a knife could be
adapted to
an eskrima stick, sword or even empty hands. I found Blaise and
his
assistants to be a very capable instructors who could articulate
the purpose
of each technique and would take time with anyone having troubles
to make
sure the student was effective with the technique. On top of all
that,
Blaise is a very personable and outgoing man that I, for my part
at least,
am proud to claim as a friend.
To sum up, I know Blaise Loong
and the art he teaches. I consider both to
be of the HIGHEST quality and merit and I would encourage you
and your
subscribers to attend the next seminar in your area or to at least
buy his
videos. Both would be time and money well spent.
Respectfully and Sincerely,
Thomas J. Gallagher

Hi,
Got the Sabungin DVDs a few
days ago. Went through customs with no problems.
Excellent stuff! I first read about Blaise Loong in a Scandinavian
martial
arts magazine 5 or 6 years ago. Then I asked GMs Giron and Somera
if they
had heard of him (not knowing they knew each other). I could see
from the
DVDs why they spoke highly of his skills.
Thanks again for great service
and happy new year.
Take care,
Ingmund Forberg

I'm sorry for the late reply.
yes i did receive the DVD and i liked it a lot. It is very straight
forward and real. My Silat Gayong teacher told me he wants to
meet Guro Blaise Loong and mabye invite him to our neck of the
woods. I told him about you guys and he likes it.
Thanks again!
Joel

Silat Subungin Vol. 1 and 2 are excellent videos for the edged
weapon survivalist! Blaise's philosophy and methodology to edged
weapon skirmish type encounters is very practical, combative,
brutal and effective for self-protection situations. These volumes
1 and 2 seem geared for both the beginner as well as the advanced
kali or silat players(the material shown in my opinon was very
basic, however the live-blade training in the videos i especially
like. live blades are considered advanced training principles).
Both videos i found to be very informative, entertaining and interesting.
Im glad to have these as a part of my kali/silat training DVDs
library. I look forward to more quality videos from bonehead LLC!!

Dear Sifu,
Though I am not a 'know-it-all,'champion in pit-fighting circles,
or anything of the like, I am however capable of recognizing character.
While I (and scores of others) have participated in your seminars
and/or training sessions can attest to the lethality of your technical
prowess and your committment to teach combat in it's purest form,
I am equally impressed at your humility, patience, and wisdom
by calling to attention the moral implications of wielding such
knowledge.
Your ability to physically and verbally articulate the details
of each movement flawlessly, to explaining the historical aspects
of each art shows a unique comprehension and understanding that
I have not seen in any other. In addition, although I write to
you from a distance, you never seem to tire of my questions but
rather offer to train me further, even remotely.
Thank you for continuing to uphold your mantle of excellence.
It has
been an privelege and honor to train in your hall.
Andy Lu
