Kali Crossing Into The WWE Through Dave Batista

 Share

The Filipino Martial Arts have crossed many lines, movies, football,  special law enforcement groups and the military. So by no surprise, why not the WWE. The individual bringing it to center ring, is none other than big Dave Batista. Batista is a body builder, actor, but best known for his time in the WWE. Dave is also a Filipino who has found an interest in Filipino Martial Arts and is working on fighting in the UFC. He currenty trains with Marrese Crump who is also a martial artist and actor. Dave is training different styles of  martial arts for the octagon but seems to have a passion for FMA. All I can say is good luck to him in his UFC interested and it is great that he is training and promoting the Kali.

Rich, Ron Balicki and Diana Lee Inosanto

Ron was in Las Vegas to conduct demo’s for Cold Steel Knives. He came in a day before to do a seminar on Kali/Silat at the Summerlin Gardens Park. I have not seen Ron in almost 11 years and it was great to reconnect with and old friend and comrade in the arts. Both of us come from the same linage in our Kali/JKD training as well as the windy city of Chicago. Ron is an outstanding instructor and I’m sure Mr I is proud of  his son in law and daughter for keeping FMA alive and well. I wish him and his lovely wife Diana, the very best and continued success in all the ventures life has to offer.
