Hey Guys,
I recently had the privilege of spending a number of hours studying with Guro Tom here in LA (it was also nice meeting Guro Kayanan as well). The experience only whetted my appetite for more training in Sayoc Kali and the only negative thing was not being able to spend as much time working out with him as I would have liked (damn you Omar - just kidding). Guro Tom also gave a mini-seminar in Edged Weapons Awareness to some of the guys in my department as well. Everyone had a great time and learned many valuable things (including my instructor, Richard Bustillo).
If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend training with Guro Tom. He knows his stuff (!), is an excellent instructor, and didn't beat me up too badly (haha).
Thanks again Guro! I look forward to the next time you're in town.
Respectfully,
Sam
