Hindi lang Shawarma series continues...
Session in Bloom is also for cognitive experience...
Meron din magnetic toys. Baguio-made!

These are local-produced for export. Its the true essence of Seesion Road in Bloom we often forgot. That this is meant to showcase local economy that can compete globally.

Archmedrix is a export brand of educ toys.
Talked with the shop owner that these are soley for selling abroad. So better visit them here and get these cool cognitive toys exclusively.

Pwede ka daw mag laro sa loob. 😄
May unhealed inner child ka rin ba kasi di ka nabilhan ng laruan noon? Enjoy!

"Understanding lineage is key"

Start here if you wamt to gain true and deep knowledge about Filipino Fighting arts and culture.
https://www.facebook.com/share/15auSW3TnU/ 🙏

Lineage.

This is often the first thing practitioners ask if you mention you’re training in a specific style.

Common questions might include:

- Who is your teacher?
- How long have you been studying?
- Are you a g**o, master, or grandmaster?

You might feel tempted to tell them, "You're so annoying." But understanding lineage is key.

The idea of lineage comes from the Filipino words "pinanggalingan" or "pinagmulan", meaning "the beginning" or "origin."

Filipino Martial Arts, dates back over 500 years ago. Many point to 1521 in Mactan as its starting point. Over time, Filipinos adapted techniques from various sources, including:

- La Verdadera Destreza
- HEMA
- Kuntao
- Silat

Later, the Labangon Fencing Club in Cebu evolved into the organized group Doce Pares, which developed multiple styles:

- Espada y daga
- Medium range
- Double stick
- Short range
- Long range
- Single stick
- Pangamut
- Daga

But there’s always a lingering question:

What style is the best?

Then came "Huego Todo"—a no-holds-barred, full-contact approach where matches often ended in seconds or minutes.

The point is, knowing your roots matters.

It’s essential to acknowledge and respect those who taught you the art. Unfortunately, some practitioners abroad fail to credit the origins of Arnis.

I’ve even heard of someone in China calling Arnis "Chinese Kung Fu."

The nerve!

Sadly, many learn Arnis in the Philippines for a few dollars and later charge exorbitant fees to teach it abroad.

Some claim the title g**o after a few months of training and charge $100 per student.

The lesson here?

Show respect to your teachers. Always give credit for their contributions. And if possible, show appreciation with a small token of gratitude.

PS: What is your lineage?
