Bujinkan Fighting Arts & Filipino Martial Arts

Orabes Heneral Eskrima ⚔️

A special clip from my personal collection. This video was given to me by Andy Abrian more than 24 years ago.

I’ve left the original commentary by an American enthusiast intact, as he says what everyone already knew—Tatay Andy was renowned for his superior footwork and speed.

What Tatay Andy is demonstrating here is our solo drill known as Rapelon—clean, efficient, and deceptively fast. Fundamentals done properly, without excess.

A clip of Soke Sato Kinbei, one of Takamatsu Sensei's students.
