PG Crafty, can you tell us anything else about this man beyond the clip?
Which man? The American or the Filipino?
The Filipino guy
Joe Tan.
Ran into him many years later at a get together in the San Fernando Valley with GT Gaje as the guest of honor. We chatted pleasantly and he spoke well of the experience and the effect it had on him. Then he gave me a wood, not rattan, tapado stick which he signed for me.
Thank you. Love the simple brutality of Tapado structure.
Next time we are in non-digital comms, ask me to tell you the story of a Tapado fighter who inadvertently challenged a bolo man to a real duel . . .
my take away from this is…the importance of bilateralism and ambidexterity, not a death grip with both hands on a single weapon and standing in one place.
Yes.
The Tapado game is very much a “stand and deliver”– here I make my standard and I will deliver upon thy head.
Someone with greater mobility, which would be most people, simply gets to choose if and when there is interaction.
I would add the importance of knowing the ability of your blocks to handle power. Tapado’s bet is “You can’t handle this”. If you can, , , , there results are as we see here.
I need to modify my previous comments to be “Tapado AS SEEN HERE etc”
