POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Some shots from our booth and demo at Bayanihan Fest over the weekend. It was a pleasure to be able to share with you the art from Cebu with everyone who dropped by.

Special shoutout to Romielyn, Jamaica and the rest of the @philamchambercommerceofga for organizing this event. This was a great event for us to introduce ourselves to more of the community. Atlanta Balintawak stands welcome to teach anyone who comes into our doors, but we also take pride in being another means for Filipinos to get back in touch with our warrior roots!

COA David demonstrating a takedown utilizing the Ipit ipit technique. Roughly translating as “to pinch” in Tagalog, the technique involves squeezing some part of the small joints in the hand to generate a lot of pain. This positioned the right way forces the assailant to overextend their center of gravity, thereby making the pivot step and takedown easier.

Anywho don’t try this at home. Stay tuned to watch the technique at speed!

I have crossed oceans of time to find you.

-Dracula (1992)

Photographing in the springs is so much more challenging than a pool, but these two killed it 🩸🩸🩸

Huge thank you to my lovely models for stepping in very last-minute and driving down to Florida overnight to then model in a freezing spring ❤️

The last I saw of Count Dracula was his kissing his hand to me; with a red light of triumph in his eyes, and with a smile that Judas in hell might be proud of.

Any progress is good progress 🙌🏽
As usual, I'm still a bit stiff and awkward. I can't wait to see what another 2 years brings.
Thanks for helping me level up @goliathstunts !
And thanks for filming @itscecilekay 🎥
