This is to inform every­one that I, Sylvester ‘Jojo’ Ygay, Head of Tabim­ina Bal­intawak USA West Coast Divi­sion will be on sab­bat­i­cal leave for an indef­i­nite period of time.  Per Sir Bob’s instruc­tions, the act­ing head of Tabim­ina Bal­intawak USA West Coast Divi­sion in my absence will be Arnold Domingo.  Please give your sup­port to him as you have done to me.

2012 is finally here at last and although we’ve had a cou­ple of prob­lems in 2011, let us put them behind us and embrace 2012 with good health, more wealth, more strength, peace of mind and a pos­i­tive out­look in life.

Let me also remind you that our biggest yearly gath­er­ing enti­tled, The Gath­er­ing of the Wolves III is fast approach­ing.  Although this event has been attended by the mem­bers of Tabim­ina Bal­intawak through­out the world, it is not exclu­sive and there­fore every­one is invited.  For ques­tions and inquiries, please con­tact Dr. Jonathan and Mia Fan­dalian.

The blogs writ­ten by the mem­bers of Tabim­ina Bal­intawak, are their own reflec­tion of their under­stand­ing of the art based on their per­sonal expe­ri­ences.  It is not our inten­tion to dis­re­spect any mar­tial arts group.  That is why we urge the read­ers to have an open mind, so that they can relate and com­pare our train­ing with their mar­tial arts train­ing.  I think it is safe to say that it is our God given right to express and share our knowl­edge to the pub­lic about our art.

Unfor­tu­nately, some groups have been offended by our arti­cles and by our remarks in the forums that Sir Bob has told me send a pub­lic apol­ogy.  So in behalf of Grand­mas­ter Bobby Tabim­ina and the whole Tabim­ina Bal­intawak fam­ily, we apol­o­gize to all the peo­ple we have offended.

It has come to our atten­tion that some of the instruc­tors are not fol­low­ing the chain of com­mand. It is imper­a­tive that we fol­low this rule and should be imposed within the Tabim­ina Bal­intawak fam­ily. This was empha­sized by Sir Bob for the fol­low­ing rea­sons: Read More

Mas­ter Flint Tabim­ina and Mas­ter Dag Tabim­ina will be in Malaysia accom­pa­nied by Seniors Edmund Dy and Mike Limpe.  The Sin­ga­pore group will also attend the sem­i­nar led by Richard Loo.  The event will be held on Decem­ber 7–12, 2011 at Fudoshin Dojo.

Get ready folks coz the Gath­er­ing of the Wolves III is fast approach­ing.  Although the event’s venue is still ten­ta­tive, I have spo­ken with Sir Bob to con­firm the date.  The event will be held on March 15–18, 2012 in Manila, Philip­pines.  So file your vaca­tion leave, and we’ll see you there.

The Philip­pines and Malaysia list of Instruc­tors has been updated.  As I have men­tioned before that the list of instruc­tors will be updated from time to time, in accor­dance with Grand­mas­ter Bobby Tabimina’s decisions.

UPDATE:
