This Labor Day weekend I went to Toronto to spend the weekend with Janice and attend a seminar featuring Balintawak Grand Master Bobby Toboada. As always, spending time in Toronto is a good time. I've been visiting there regularly since the early 90's. With it being only two hours away, it's easy to visit for the afternoon or spend the entire weekend.
The Balintawak seminar was held at Sean Tyler's Raging Tiger school. The seminar was well attended by many different FMA groups present. GM Bobby did an excellent job as always. It's nice seeing the similarities, as well as the differences in the different styles of Balintawak. I come from the ungrouped method with is more scenario based as opposed to the grouping method of GM Toaboada. I think both methods have much to offer and I'm looking forward to seeing GM Bobby soon.
I got to spend time with my lady and train with GM Bobby and friends. I live a charmed life!
