Mingo School of Kali

I teach the Filipino Martial Art of Kali. Specifically, the Villabrille-Largusa system. The Villabrille-Largusa system of Kali is a beautiful, yet deadly art.

The Villabrille-Largusa System was founded by Great Grandmaster Floro Villabrille who fought approximately 40 death matches in his life. He was truly an exceptional martial artist. Grandmaster Ben Largusa trained under him and systematized his art to give us the complete system that we teach today. This is a bladed art, and although we train with sticks, which are deadly themselves, the stick is a

This is a true story!

17 year-old Juliane Koepcke was sucked out of an airplane in 1971 after it was struck by a bolt of lightning. She fell 2 miles to the ground, strapped to her seat and survived after she endured 10 days in the Amazon Jungle.
After ten days, she found a boat moored near a shelter, and found the boat's fuel tank still partly full. Koepcke poured the gasoline on her wounds, an action which succeeded in removing the maggots from her arm. Out of 93 passengers and crew, Juliane was the only survivor of the LANSA flight 508 crash that took place December 24th, 1971.

I recently saw a video of a so called martial arts instructor "teaching" his class how to break boards. He struggled to break this same board (equivalent to a 2.25" wooden board). He made several weak attempts with one of his students holding it. This is one take, one try, and in mid air.

Most martial artists can’t fight and would be embarrassed by untrained attackers 02/19/2022

This is an excellent post. Its a hard hitting reality. I agree with his "3 major factors": Agression, Technique, and Athleticism. Every person in a fight has a combination of those 3 components. It's like an equation. The combatant with the greatest sum of those 3 wins. You must train them all to increase your chances of surviving a real life altercation.
