Kuya Doug Marcaida gives us a preview of things to come for the New Year of training.
Welcome to THE BALISONG JOURNAL An online journal of Southeast Asian Martial Arts, Culture and Spirituality from Guro Jeff Davidson and Detroit Kali-Silat. We will focus on Filipino Kali, Batangas Knife, and Silat Melayu (especially Silat Kuntau Tekpi) - along with Yoruba (West African) fighting and healing arts- and other interesting diversions along the way.

It makes perfect sense that a true combat art should include firearms. After all, my forefathers took on the Japanese not with just bolos and daggers.
I am very impressed by Pekiti Tirsia. It really says something that so many police and military groups, not just in the United States and Europe but those at home in the P.I. are training in it.
Keep up the good work.

Guru Jeff,
I heard the next Pitbull Gathering is going to be in Detroit. Where and when?
Jeff,
Sorry to have been out of touch for so long. This weekend I found myself in an old, abandoned warehouse (south of Fort, by Junction) and lo and behold in the midst of the debris I happened to come across a particular item which you enquired about after your first trip to Africa. Do you remember???
It is in decent condition and I assume the aesthetic factor is of little concern to you. Are you still in need of this thing?
regards,
O.I.E.
Angelo: We will be picking a date and location very soon. Keep watching the blog.
O.I.E.: Indeed. Contact me by private email immediately!
