If it wasn't for Guro Inosanto, I doubt I would have ever learned Tabok Toyok.
In certain circles, he is referred to as "The Godfather Of Nunchaku"

I had the great pleasure of training with Guro Dan Inosanto in VA a couple of years back.

That was a great weekend.

Hope nobody is upset that I posted In this but I just really like Guru Dan Inosanto. As a kid i HAD TO take a karate class it was basically rough kata's and i didnt like it one bit. I didnt like martial arts because in my mind it was all just kata's it wasnt untill i saw Ron Balicki demonstrating a arm wrentch on his Filipino Boxing Series that i was really hooked. I even wanted to train with him he has schools around the USA and one in florida now back then when i was ignorent of FMA and stuff i thought Kali was like most guys who are new to martial arts i thought it was just that art with the sticks (please nobody kill me) or that art with the knives and the swords but then i found out no Kali, escrima, arnis has alot of arts it has kicking arts, grappling arts, boxing arts, etc etc. then I found out about Ron Balickis Guru who not only was his Guru but was who had trained under the legend Bruce Lee. As i kept looking into the background of Dan Inosanto you just keep finding MORE AND MORE AND MORE stuff out

Dan Inosanto has a high list of accomplishments in his life his teachers and credentails include

1. A 3rd level instructor ship under the founder of Jeet Kune Do Bruce Lee
2. He's an expert in Filipino Martial arts under many of the best grandmasters in the world including Grand master Leo Gaje
3. He's an expert in silat studing under the entire De Thours family
4. A teacher of Savate
5. Teacher of Shooto under Yuri Nakamura
6. Muay Thai under Ajarn Surachai Chai Sirisute
7. Black Belt under Edmund Parker founder of American Kenpo
8. Most recently he's also gotten a black belt under the Machados in Brazilian Jiujitsu
7 Not only has he trained under the above arts but he's also studied many other arts including Tai Chi, but also Small Circle Jiujitsu under Wally Jay, as has also studied Bando and Krabi Krabong

Then there's his list of students which is also a who's who of amazing instructors in the world of martial arts people seek these instructors out when they want the very best trainers.

You know, some of us here have heard of Guro Inosanto before, and even taken some classes with him.

[Crafty_Dog]

I certainly would be nothing without my training and time with him.
