The Art of Kali Ilustrisimo


Last Saturday, I attended a workshop up in Mount Vernon. It was Kali Ilustrisimo. It is a Visayan style of Eskrima from Bantayan Island. Tatang Ilustrisimo was its founder and its best practitioner. His art today are propagated by his loyal students especially by Master Tony Diego. A couple of KI (Kali Ilustrisimo) practitioners from Vancouver, B.C. came down and shared the art or method of Tatang Ilustrisimo at Kalahi Martial Arts Academy. Guro Louei  Lindo and Kenneth Co, were excellent of presenting the fundamentals of the art. We started with the footwork and combined it with the different strikes of Ilustrisimo (Please see below).


It was a great workshop. I hope to attend more in the future..
Thanks Guro Lindo, Ken, and Lou of Kalahi Academy for hosting it....
