The Philippines has a long history of life and death combat. From ancient times to the modern day, the fighting arts of the Filipino archipelago have proven themselves time and again to be efficient, effective and extremely deadly forms of fighting. There are countless systems of Filipino martial arts spread throughout the thousands of islands in this region. Many are family arts and no “outsider� will likely ever learn them. Fortunately, many have also been made available to the rest of the world. From the Kyusho perspective the study begins with learning revival and restorations, but then develops mobile arm targeting as its Martial foundation. When you dissect an attack, besides a kicking action, all other attacks start with the arms, but the challenge is that the arms are the fastest moving parts of the body with the greatest range of motion and directional attack capability. So it is a very challenging section of training that should be integrated into every session, in so many variations. There are other ways to make this level a bit easier and one is in the skill of Arm Trapping. Kali Master Raffi Derderian and Kyusho Practitioner Evan Pantazi - a collaborative film

Why this event? There is no other way of putting it: Budo Masters was a great success! But we are not only speaking in quantitative terms (in which it was also a hit), but most especially in qualitative terms: quality of Masters, quality of environment, quality of organization, quality of students, etc. The original idea came when, after 30 years dealing with Masters of such different styles in the magazine, I realized that they hardly knew each o t h e r, e x c e p t o f c o u r s e , f o r t h e i r appearances in our pages. What would it happen if we tried gathering them all? Would it be something everybody would favor? Or maybe they would be reluctant to mix with others? Through my dealing with them, I've come to realize that the paradigm of distrust among styles has been diluted over the years. Martial Arts change, but mostly because those who practice them change. Not all of them, of course! But a select majority has been showing an increasing new willingness.
I
n recent decades this reality has been going from strength to strength and slowly has imposed itself like an unstoppable river. Probably, something like that would have been simply unthinkable before the emergence of Budo International, a multinational magazine (the only one in history in more than One language... right now we appear in Eight! And soon it'll be Nine: Japanese!), a communications medium that could be read on several continents, and of course, thanks to the emergence of the Internet as a communication vehicle. However, the Internet is but a vehicle on its own; the philosophy behind this magazine has worked intensely in the advent of a more open view regarding the Martial phenomenon. The very structure and the varied contents of the magazine already came to define somehow this opening. We are not a magazine exclusively dedicated to classic or modern Martial Arts... or fighting sports ... or police or military combat disciplines ... or the movie
phenomenon associated with them. We are a magazine with a wide view of the phenomenon, cultures and formulations of ANYTHING that has to do with Martial Arts. This new type of product began to settle down with our appearance. In all these years there have been even debates, for example, when combats without rules started. Other European and American magazines refused to translate this phenomenon arguing that they were not Martial Arts, and for a long time we were the only ones to inform about it. When we integrated the military or police Arts, we were also criticized ... avant-gardes always receive the first blows... Thirty years of Magazine have given us a lot, but of course, not EVERYTHING. The Martial phenomenon is huge and extensive, and its props are many and widespread over many countries. Moreover, it's clear that not everyone becomes part of the select club of this magazine. If we attract what we emanate, it is natural that those who were in tune with my own vision of Martial Arts (in the sense of broadmindedness, respect for the peculiarity, appreciation of same as a wealth, and especially leaving behind any idea of comparison), have been consolidated as a heterogeneous group, yes, but strong and outstanding, with a great projection that transits in a superior approach to the Martial phenomenon; a nonexclusive, comprehensive and respectful vision. We all know that egos are big in this Martial world; it's logical, he who deals with violence deals with the confrontation forces and no one joins anything of which he doesn't have at least a frequency point or some similarity within himself. However, in their highest view, the disciplinary Arts are ways of self-improvement, i.e., one has to transgress the boundaries of the well-known thing, to reach new horizons, undoubtedly positioning and attitudes distant (and at times antithetical) from the point where it all began. This is the moment from which the warrior becomes General and when he matures, he becomes prudent, humble and tempered, because he is aware of his power and he knows well the terrible consequences that any war implies. The Masters who have transited along our pages during these thirty years of history, most of them friends, at least in a broad 90 %, have converged with me in more mature and deep positioning regarding the environment, relationships and the Martial world in general. Budo Masters brought to light this jump in the paradigm, because the attendees were at such level. Courtesy, respect, good ways and cordiality substituted the original distrust, challenge, criticism and disdain … in short, smallness! Commando Krav Maga Master Moni Aizik told me a joke that is perfectly suitable for the case: - "How many Martial Artists are required to change a light bulb?"
“There is no other way of putting it: Budo Masters was a great success!” “Martial Arts change, but mostly because those who practice them change.”
“Two exhibitions represented the traditions of China and Japan in charge of the pupils of Sifu Cangelosi and of Shidoshi Jordan Augusto, the two Grandmasters of their respective Arts respected in the whole world.” - Answer: "1001… One to change it and one thousand to criticize him!" Budo Masters showed that with the right people, with the proper and most advanced Masters within the paradigm of the sector itself, far away from it, the result is just and noble, because nobility has already installed on their personality. On the other hand, since every pupil is but a reflection of his Master, the attending students did honor the name and category of their Masters, demonstrating at all times to be highly respectful, attentive and striving, essential features in every student, initiated, aspirant or “chela” in ancient cultures. And I say "ancient", yes! Because although some of the present systems could be modern, they are all inserted in a dimension and anthropological, cultural and energetic old scenarios, as old as war. It is not in vain that Martial Arts exist under the patronage of the god MARS and no other! However, once matured, developed and deepened, Martial Arts remain under the tutelage of wise Athena, prudent and productive goddess who, wrapped in her gold armor, the gold that represents consciousness (she was born from the head of Jupiter!), settles disputes with justice and equity; she is the guardian of peace, culture and trade. Oh, yeah! ... Martial artists have changed a lot in the last thirty years, and humbly, WE have had something to do with that.
The idea Once the idea was born, I couldn't think of a better place than Rome, or a better person to carry it out than my friend, Master Paolo Cangelosi. Years ago I witnessed the excellent organization of the 30th anniversary of his school. A wonderful host; a fair, honest and dedicated man... Who better than him? As for the place, it was also clear to me... what better spot than ROME? Eternal Rome! Cradle of the empire, cradle of the West! A city so rich and beautiful, the city to which you never get tired of returning! Once I told Sifu Cangelosi the idea he set to work. Paolo and his wife Minou captained the team in which, Sifu Fabio Tozzi, his representative in Rome (an extraordinary person) did an excellent job. He and some of his students took charge of every single detail. Thanks to this team everything was possible: planning, work, dedication and effort. The success is definitely theirs! THANK YOU! For my part all I did was putting the idea to assert in the magazine through publicity. Many friends contacted me asking for information and the event was practically designed in the first two days. There were many who came. Others, for reasons of force majeure, or prior commitments, couldn't make it, but they will no doubt in future editions. The list of Masters who have passed and worked with Budo International is
“Two intense days of seminars and a gala with two magnificent exhibitions. All this will be available free on a summary video of about an hour.”
“I must congratulate them all for their courage and vision of attending this meeting, because the fact of doing so depicts a great positioning inside each one of them.”
enormous. Today we have over 750 video titles, 200 books, and 30 years of magazines ... it's all too logical that in future editions more friends will join the party, because this experience has been certainly wonderful and its consequences are shining even further. As proof, an example is sufficient: yesterday, Master Jose Luis Montes called me asking me for Master Patrick Levet's telephone number, which he had lost … in order to bring him to Barcelona to give a seminar… examples as this one are a constant after the Rome BUDO MASTERS meeting. No, it is not the same thing seeing someone in the magazine than meeting him personally, right? It is natural that links of common interests and collaboration are established among good people; in a positive environment, the positive thing creates the appropriate frame for more positivity.
The Masters I will not name here all the great teachers who attended and were part in this first BUDO MASTERS; you only have to look at the poster to know who they are, because they are well-known faces to the followers of this magazine. There were old friends (some of them I hadn't seen for 10 years!) Others, new friends, who, having begun working with Budo just two or three years ago, we had not yet had the pleasure of meeting personally. I must congratulate them all for their courage and vision of attending this meeting, because the fact of doing so depicts a great positioning inside each one of them. Now about the oldest friends, it was a pleasure to meet them again, because we have all matured, but we stay on duty! Life passes fast and some people are especially nice to meet again. To the new friends, what a unique experience is that of widening the range of friendships, in a time in which one is becoming more and more demanding! To all of them, thanks very much, because without them this event had not been a success; this Extra issue is done and dedicated to each and every one of them.
The event Two intense days of seminars and a gala with two magnificent exhibitions. All this will be available free on a
summary video of about an hour; for those who want more, other videos with the entire event will be put up for sale in DVD format or download online at our web www.budointernational.com and at very affordable rates. In the seminars, the MASTERS of Budo Masters shared their techniques with the audience (about 350 people), both on Saturday morning, and on Sunday. The Gala was more than pleasant, a moment of encounter and fun, of socialization and participation. Masters were honored with a diploma and attendees with a certificate of attendance. A Wall video broadcasted overnight images of the Masters and a photo call placed in a corner was the delight of the audience, who didn't stop taking pictures with each other. Two exhibitions represented the traditions of China and Japan by students of Sifu Cangelosi and Shidoshi Jordan Augusto, the two Grand Masters of their respective Arts, respected worldwide. A video Wall emitted during the whole night images of the Masters, while a photo call placed in a corner did the delights of the assistants, who didn't stop photographing with each other. Two exhibitions represented the traditions of China and Japan in charge of the pupils of Sifu Cangelosi and of Shidoshi Jordan Augusto, the two Grandmasters of their respective Arts respected in the whole world. As two sides of a coin, one provided the liveliness, the sonority and the coloring of Chinese culture, with the Lion dance, a choreography in honor of Ip Man and a beautiful representation Tai Chi; the other gave us the delicacy, precision and minimalist austerity of a genuine Japanese Koryu, the school Kaze no Ryu Ogawa Ha, in a fantastic demonstration of Iaijutsu, and Aiki Ju Jutsu, in the manner and ways in which they were performed in front of the emperors of Japan. The one musical, the other in absolute silence, both, in their own way, delighted an expert audience, that had brought together in the same dinner more Teachers per square meter than could never have gathered. I myself had the privilege and the honor of personally hand out the diploma to each Master. The diploma award ceremony was riddled with respect and sincere affection, expressed in the hugs and warmth of the honorees. Out of program, Master Pellegrini was kind enough to
“To all of them, thanks very much, because without them this event had not been a success; this Extra issue is done and dedicated to each and every one of them.”
“Practitioners around the world without any restriction of style, degree or any other boundary are welcome.”
“After a wonderful week in Rome, of so many reencounters and, of course, new meetings, Sifu Cangelosi suggested me to repeat the experience on a biannual basis.” grace us Paolo Cangelosi and myself, with distinctions that both of us greatly appreciated, because we know that they were delivered from the affection and admiration that we dedicate to each other and that has the depth and strength of an enduring truth that implies years of relationship, years of working together.
The future After a wonderful week in Rome, of so many reencounters and, of course, new meetings, Sifu Cangelosi suggested me to repeat the experience on a biannual basis. I think it's a great idea, because whether it's true that it would be a pleasure to do it every year, the fact remains that many people had to make a great effort to be present on this occasion. Groups and Masters from China, United States, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Switzerland, Holland, Brazil or Argentina, to name just some of the countries, travelled to Rome for the occasion. Travelling is not cheap and we feel that an event like this should have a longer periodicity, so that everyone can prepare in time for the occasion; therefore the next meeting will be in April 2018 ... so start getting ready!
Who can attend the event? Practitioners around the world without any restriction of style, degree or any other boundary are welcome. Those who come to act within the group of Masters of Budo, as BUDO MASTERS, are required to be, of course, Masters already known to us, who collaborate or have collaborated with the magazine, that is, people in which we actually trust from our own experience; a club open to those who want to feel part of it; here we are, willing to welcome them inside this select group of rapporteurs, people who possess t h e v a l u e , t h e s k i l l a n d b re a d t h o f v i s i o n t o s e e beyond the forms; a renewed future for the warrior traditions of the whole planet. We men are finite, but that which makes up our world remains; eternal forces, like the warrior's way, which can be lived in their highest expression, or in their smallness. The choice is always something personal, although not everyone is summoned, and not all the summoned ones are to be chosen, but the personal dream belongs to oneself. We are here to make this possible; it's our duty, our obligation.
“We men are finite, but that which makes up our world remains; eternal forces, like the warrior's way, which can be lived in their highest expression, or in their smallness.”
Alfredo Tucci welcomed everyone. In the environment you could feel friendliness, cordiality and a tremendous expectation: "Welcome! The very fact of being here means you are already great! There is nothing to prove ... we are here to share, to learn, to enjoy from difference and respect! "
"More than 350 people in the first morning of Seminars: excitement, curiosity, respect, sympathy, camaraderie... Sifu Cangelosi as host took charge himself of preparing and managing the smooth functioning of every detail."
"Students and teachers from all countries and styles together, with respect for others' practice... an unbeatable atmosphere."

"Avi Nardia, by reasons of 'force majeure', was forced to cancel his attendance at the last moment, but a group of his students was present, led by his representative in Italy."
"To the right, group of Masters: David Delannoy, David Buisan, Marco Mattiuci, Germano Monosi, Harry Gorter, Jurg Ziegler, Gary Wasniesky, Paolo Cangelosi, Juan Diaz, Bruno Tombolato, Marco Morabito, Jesús Talán, Carlos Barrera, David Martínez, Bram Frank, José Luis Montes, Alessandro Colonnese, Raúl Gutiérrez, Cristina, Salvatore Oliva..."

"Alfredo Tucci with the group of Master Yaron Lichtenstein, Krav Maga 9th Dan. On his left, his son Rotem. The event was well attended by his representatives from several countries, as well as his wife and his daughter."
"As usual, Master Pellegrini, Combat Hapkido, not only taught an outstanding class with his wife Trina Pellegrini and other assistants and instructors of his school, but he also seduced the audience with his enormous personality and experience. Of Italian origin although American citizen, Pellegrini addressed to the public in both languages." - "REMEMBER! I speak perfect Italian, so if you say anything wrong about me I will understand you!"
"Trina Pellegrini showed that years alongside a genius teach you to be just great. Impeccable techniques, perfect controls ... excellent class."

What happens when two people practice Chi-Sao, what is the meaning of their practice and what the objectives? In this 3rd DVD, "Chi Sao from the base to an advanced level," Sifu Salvador SĂĄnchez addresses perhaps the most important aspect of Wing Chun: ChiSao, the soul of the system itself, which provides the practitioner with some special characteristics which are completely different from others, and gives him great virtues. This role deals with some aspects quite basic in principle, but as you delve into them, they'll be surprising to you. It is a very clear feature traditional Chinese culture; what it's very obvious at first glance, it nevertheless contains a second or third reading, which will surely change your approach, practice and understanding. We will discuss how to practice Chi Sao through our working drills and how to apply those drills, that ability in a sparring, linking certain concepts, perhaps not so much tied to traditional Kung Fu, such as biomechanics, structures, knowledge of physics, etc., in order to obtain better results in our practice.

The Pukulan Pencak Silat Serak is a system based on both weapons and empty hands at the same time. It incorporates many of the new-generation weapons, swords, knives, circular kerambits, bars, batons of different lengths and other more particular weapons. Even in our empty hand training methods we face an opponent who attacks us with weapons in both hands, as well as several opponents at once. This type of training makes us more aware of everything that happens during an altercation and what do and not do when facing one or more armed aggressors. In this second DVD, Maha Guru Horacio Rodrigues, heir to the lineage of Pendekar Pak Victor De Thouars, of Pukulan Pencak Silat Serak, addresses its particular way to train and use the different weapons, laying the foundations for more advanced future plans of study and the application of technique. This video includes the principles of work, angulation, Sambuts, Jurus and drills with the short sword "Pedang", short knife "Pissau", short stick "Tonkat Matjan", Sarong, and applications of selfdefense with empty hands.

We are pleased to present the second work of the KMRED group. This video bearing the name "Concept and Education" aims to make you discover a part of the concept Krav Maga Research, Evolution and Development, as well as the pedagogy developed within our group. The different exercises that you will discover here are not intended to "feast your eyes" or demonstrate our combative attitudes, because our priority here is that of explaining how we prepare our students so that they become "warriors", capable of "adapting" to the different evolutions of street fighting.
