Which one? Would "HB in the OC" be Hermosa Beach in Orange County?

Maybe we already know each other - I have Guro rank in three flavors of FMA, train at IMB a couple of times every summer, make it to a Dog Brother's Gathering (at my age, only to watch) once in awhile, and I'm toying with the idea of training for the Cold Steel Challenge in the fall... back in the day, I made some of the hardest rattan training sticks you could find anywhere...

Interesting. I want to get into FMA but couldn't find a good one in Riverside, CA (expectedly)... and I hear a good school is Inosanto?

 

we are still good right... ya know friends and all...

 

Lots like quite a few cyclists around here.
Here's me in Biella (I'm the guy on the bike in the middle)

 

OICU... the one with the helmet and sunglasses.

 

Yes - Dan Inosanto is something of a legend... he teaches something he calls Kali Blend... He's also a close friend of my teacher, Narrie Babao... Let me see if I can find something for you in Riverside...

Rudy

 

Yup... still!

Lol...

Punong Guro!!! (i am bowing with much respect - hope i spelled that right), I need your protection... errr can we be friends! ha I'm in Huntington Beach in the OC originally from Carson. I do know quite a few people who trained at IMB Carson/SouthBay during the earlier Inosanto days. My son and I recently took a sabbatical from training out of Kadan and punong guro Master Ferrer. You and your teacher must know him. He seems to know everyone.

Come to think of it.... i'm pretty sure my sticks are in the backseat of my pcar.

Peace bruddah!

 

Whoa... easy... I'm no Punong Guro (you spelled it right...), believe me... the certification just means that my teacher or any of the other instructor level guys from my "clans" won't be irritated and come after me (in the biblical sense, if you know what I mean) if I decide to start a school or teach in my teacher's name... nope, I'm pretty much just an enthusiast that might (and that's a big "might") have a few more angles and combos than the next guy... and addicted to the butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling that you get just before a match... I think I've met Master Ferrer at a seminar a few years back - the name is very familiar... Anyway, maybe we'll bump into each other at an event sometime when you're finished resting...

Also - I don't know if we got special dispensation in this thread, but we may get 15 yards for off-topic (I was posting with MedTech when we got spanked for posting about watches)...

Peace!

Wow, low key post, but amazing pictures.

Fabulous shots of southern France, what a spectacular region.

And this one from Polynesia, are you kidding me??!!

 

Guro Rudy, Much respect regardless! Hear ya on the butterflies - I love the rush and flurry! Kinda like driving the Porsche.

 

Hahaha... Exactly! (Good job bringing it back!)

Don't do bumps(but good for you), but we talked about doing 40k vert after recently doing 30k vert. a couple of weeks ago. We thought it would be an easy task, but I'm still recovering from a great/long ski day on Tuesday, and don't plan on pushing that goal again until next ski season.(I'll be 59 next year). Any way...I did drive my 996 to the slopes again which makes for a complete day of skiing and driving.
