Then Mang Ben carrying / feeding the strikes for Master Elmer in Bigay Tama two sticks against one stick and Bigay Tama stick and blad...e / dagger against baston (stick). Mang Ben breaks a stick during this demonstration, which is a regular occurance when Bigay Tama is done as it should be with speed and power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI7uuByiMis
What a great demo! Having met Mang Ben in 1998 at his home in Cavite, I love watching him perform and demonstrate his Lightning Scientific Arnis. Thanks for posting the clip. Respectfully, David
What is the correct pronounciation of Master Ybanez' name? Personally I would read that as EE-banez but I have also heard him referred to as AYE-banez.
