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.

Kali and Silat by The Bay
So sorry for the late update but it's been 'go-go-go' since I stepped off the plane. I'd like to give a big 'SALAMAT' to my student Dave, to Rick and Dan Ramos, and all of their fine students (including my friend Destry Homes) for sponsoring a fantastic weekend of training in San Francisco. It was my distinct pleasure to share the Filipino and Malay martial arts with such an enthusiastic and talented group of practitioners. You all deserve high praise in my book!
I also had the opportunity to cross a few items off of the bucket-list such as:
- SF's Chinatown
- Haight/Asbury street
- Golden Gate Bridge
- Moe's Bookstore in Berkeley
A big thanks also to the BART workers for not going on strike until after I got to the airport to come home. I'm looking forward to my next trip to the West Coast to hang with the SF chapter of The Brotherhood of the Blade.
MABUHAY!
