I must agree that the Taboada Balintawak curriculum is clear and straightforward - especially when learning at a distance (or during Covid - when i started learning)! The community is also very friendly!

Cool😊😊😊

🙏💯👍

Vulpes designs are always of such high quality. I own half a dozen of them and even without an edge they feel like they can do some serious damage if you want, and really inspires the imagination. Sometimes I just leave mine out where I’ll see them and just seeing them makes me want to just start swinging and it always makes my day better. Even more so if you’re like me and make a lot of custom design requests to Chris to really make it your own. Having your brain baby come into reality and be ready to smash some pumpkins is so cool.

Great conversation about values and honesty, thankyou gentlemen

lol

I cant understand anything with this music.

What is the best full contact, well rounded style of FMA?

Thanks for the discussion!!! Always interesting!

First draw was lightning brotha🤙🏽

My god its Doug Marcaida

You can also short grip and drive with pommel, it hurts a lot when they’re pinned, and gets people away from you if they are standing

There are some mean nasty people on the internet who just want to spread hate because they are hurting on the inside themselves. No one has a right to call him insulting names or say rude things to him, especially in his comments on IG. However, some people have been following this man for many years now and have wanted to see him succeed on his journey. I understand a weight loss journey isn't as black and white as some would believe and there are bumps/things in life that could happen that can make it difficult at times to go to the gym consistently. It's easy to fall back into what brings us comfort as humans. For some that's drinking, for others it's gambling, for some it's food. It would be one thing if he was on his own personal account on social media and I mean that in a sense of adding your friends and family and sharing your journey along the way of your day to day activities seeing if you can make it to your goal. It's another thing entirely when you yourself promote an entire social media page to something and say you will lose the weight, that you want your viewer base to go on this trip with you, you promote a healthy active lifestyle, you call yourself a fitness influencer and an athlete. You do all these things and yet show no signs of progress over the course of 5 years, yes those people you asked to go along are going to ask questions since YOU promoted it. It's okay to ask questions at one point, "Yo man, what's going on, you started this 4 years ago and you kind of look the same dude you need some tips or advice?" That doesn't mean someone is being rude or someone is hating. I stopped following JHub about a year ago, this just randomly popped up in my feed and I recognized the name. I want to see the dude succeed, I mean that, I know a few of us who watched him back in 2019 or 2020 want to also. But the man takes zero accountability for his diet. He ALWAYS dances or just out right ignores any comments or questions about his diet. Which is clearly out of control. I say this in the most respectful way I can but it looks like he is at his heaviest right now. You can't promote something, especially fitness, weight loss and being an athlete, swear by it, makes vows to the Lord and your followers like he has that he would be on the ball and make that progress only to start blocking people or ignoring people who start asking some of those questions. I believe at one time he was serious about the weight loss, I think he fell in love with the feedback he was getting on IG, all the likes and positive comments and it brought him another form of comfort and he lost sight of why he initially started. He once said in a response he was eating 1500 calories a day when asked. That would be on par with a drunk driver slurring his words with one eye half closed and the other rolling in the back of his head telling the Cop he had two bud lights before he left the bar. That's when I unfollowed.

loving it gents well-done, playing is practice

Looks like …… a spirited game of touch butt.

Looks like a useful drill. Thanks guys!

Start training w a little cardio it’s hard but more worth it than all that when it’s time to run;)

take it from a guy who was stupid one time with two pocket knives, dual reverse wielding is no joke, props to this guy for using trainers, keep it up man!

peng peng peng... bilang pinoy, yan ang komento ko.

I love him

Nick is an extraordinary gentleman! Coach Kurt and Guro Nick are great guys!

great conversation, thankyou, mas guru mike can move with intention very well, thank you for the inspiration

Thanks for the interview!

another great open and honest interview with a great guest, thank you for sharing and inspiring us all to train hard and smart

Thanks for the conversation!!! Kurt, I think that you bring a lot of positivity to FMA!!! GREAT JOB!

If your trying to be covert don’t make huge movements around where your weapon is 😂

Great discussion with 'the chairman of the board' the ceo of fma, keep up the inspiration gents, future generations will also be hugely thankful

Theres no such thing as complex dlash and thrust

ROFLMAO😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice man 💯

Thanks for the conversation!!!

Dean is the man! Great interview!

I’ve seen this lady on instagram she’s not to be messed with🔥. She could break a guys balls with one kick

I've had the honor of serving with Matt Stone twice during my career in the US Army, South Korea and at the end of my career, Hawaii. He's one of the finest Kung Fu instructors I've met.

Thanks for the interview/ discussion. Peter is a very nice guy. I had the pleasure to train with him once.

Thanks, interesting discussion!!!

great discussion, sparing isn't everyone's cup of tea, and there is such a wide gap from non contact to dog brothers that it needs a great discussion about learning and great teachers to get the best, and some times just the will to test yourself in the worst possible ways, thankyou all for sharing and inspiring us all to train hard and smart

Thanks for the discussion!!! I agree with Rene, I like the way you and Jaime are presenting Piper. I had some minimal second hand presentation of Piper, which was OK, but I enjoyed your last seminar.

Thanks for the chat!!!!

as always great conversation, refreshing to hear open and honest dialect about martial arts, long may it continue, but we all know honesty doesn't sell seminars, feeling like john wick and tactical adrenaline hits do, you never know 'open and honest' might be the way forward, i hope so, GN was the first to message me 'the single baston alphabet' as a way to practice, just to help me get better, we need more of this

He always reminded me of Jason Stathom & talks like him. He prolly Jason Stathom's son. Jason just doesn't know he has a son.

I am 5"11 220. 6"4 220 u should have no issue on a back tuck. I do airflares, 1 hand hops, corscrews, at my weight. Once you learn back tuck, corkscrew, butterfly twist, websters, 540 hook kick, armada dupla, etc, u learn explosive gravity that will help you in martial arts for spinning back kicks, etc. Basically doing explosive kicks that come out of nowhere in the cage. Being a bboy helps me on the ground in a scrimmage. I can pull rubber guard out of my culo. I understand how to be on all 4's on the ground via. 6 step, swipes, babyfreezes, etc. I have the 4th strongest spinning back kick in the world. 1) Michael Jae White 2) Scott Atkinds 3) Random TKD on fight science episdoe 4) Me 5) Joe rogan.

Thanks! Great discussion!

Subscribed. Your chicken techniques are the best chicken techniques I have ever seen.

Guro Jeff is absolutely amazing. The way he teaches the way he talks to you. Humble and kind yet lethal. One of Gm Bobby’s top instructors. Once you meet him you know why. Excellent interview.

great conversation thank you for sharing and inspiring

this has to be the best minimal-gear chicken sparring I have ever seen. Stay safe!

Thanks, interesting discussions! From Ottawa, Canada.
