IBON BANOY (GRANDMASTER FORM)

BANOY, MEANS THE PHILIPPINE EAGLE. IT IS THE NATIONAL BIRD OF THE PHILIPPINES. IN 1896 AN ENGLISH NATURALIST JOHN WHITEHEAD GAVE THIS PHENOMENAL SPECIES THE SCIENTIFIC NAME “PITHECOPHAGA JEFFERYI”
OR MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS MONKEY-EATING EAGLE. THEY ARE NATIVE OF MOUNT APO IN THE ISLAND OF MINDANAO, BETWEEN DAVAO CITY AND DAVAO DEL SUR WITH AN ALTITUDE OF 9,692 FEET.

BANOY HAS REMARKABLY STRONG LEGS AND POWERFUL HOOKED BEAK. THE FULL-GROWN ADULT BANOY CAN STAND OVER THREE (3) FEET TALL, WITH A WING-SPAN UP TO SEVEN (7) FEET WIDE, AND WEIGHING ABOUT 17 POUNDS. IT IS EQUALLY AS POWERFUL AS THE HARPY EAGLE OF SOUTH AMERICA.

THE MYTHOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THIS BIRD’S CREATION BACK IN THE ANCIENT TIMES, THEY WERE CONSIDERED TO BE PEACEFUL AND LOVING SPECIES.

BUT, IT CAME TO PASS THAT THEY BECOME THE VICTIMS OF NATURE’S FURY AS THEY STRUGGLED TO FIND SHELTER
SUITABLE FOR NESTING AND LAYING EGGS. TOO OFTEN THEIR YOUNG BECOME THE VICTIMS OF VARIOUS PREDATORS.

FOR SO MANY YEARS, THEIR EGGS HAD BEEN EATEN, WHILE THE ADULTS DESPICABLY SLAUGHTER, AND THEIR YOUNG HAD BEEN CRUELLY ASSAULTED.

OVER TIMES, THIS SAVAGERY ENKINDLED IN THEM THEIR INSTINCTS FOR SURVIVAL. THEIR OPPRESORS FORCED THEM TO HARNESS THEIR PROWEES OF THE SKIES AS PERHAPS NATURE HAS INTENDED.

IN DEFENSE OF COMPLETE EXTINCTION, THEY WERE FORCED TO BECOME THE SAVAGE OF THE VICTORS AND THE HUNTERS OF THE OPPRESSORS. THE IBON BANOY.

MY BOOK (AKLAT) IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A DISSERTATION OF THE HISTORY OF KUNTAW MARTIAL ARTS. IT IS MEANT TO SERVE AS A COMPARATIVE GUIDE TO THE ATTITUDES, STRATEGIES, AND TECHNIQUES OF VARIOUS NATIONS IN THE MARTIAL ARTS. THERE IS NO ONE MARTIAL ART THAT IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS, THERE ARE ONLY SUPERIOR PRACTITIONERS

MY ILLUSTRATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE NOTHING MORE THAN ELEMENTS OF FROZEN TIME. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DEPICT CERTAIN EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUES IN PHOTOGRAPHS. A FORM (SAYAW-AN) WHICH LOOKS SIMPLE MAY HAVE BEEN EXECUTED IN BLINDING FLASH. ABOVE ALL, SINCE TIMING IS SOMETHING WHICH SIMPLY CANNOT BE CATCH OR CAPTURED ON FILM, PICTURES CANNOT REPRESENT THE SPEED (BILIS) IN WHICH THESE TECHNIQUES WERE PERFORMED.

TO ADOPT THE KUNTAW STYLE, YOU MUST TAKE INTELLIGENT AND PROGRESSIVE STEPS WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BENEFITS FOR YOU, NOT ONLY IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE BUT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. YOU ARE ABOUT TO DISCOVER THE POTENTIALS OF TRAINING IN KUNTAW WORLD

THE KUNTAWISTAS ARE TEND TO WIPE OUT THE DIFFERENCES OF SIZE, WEIGHT AND REACH OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL. THOSE TRAINED IN THE KUNTAW STYLE GAINED TREMENDOUS SEL-CONFIDENCE AND THE ABILITY TO MOVE WITH- OUT FEAR. THE KUNTAW KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ARE IN THEMSELVES SUFFICIENT TO SUBDUE ANY ASSAILANT NO MATTER HOW STRONG HE OR SHE IS. YOU ARE ALWAYS READY FOR ACTION

THE FIRST STEP YOU LEARN POISE AND ASSURANCE. YOU MUST LEARN TO BE MENTALLY COOL AND ALERT IN THE FACE OF DANGER AND YOU WILL BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE SEL-RELIANCE WHICH COMES ONLY WITH SELF-CONFIDENCE

THE SYSTEM OF PHYSICAL MASTERY IN KUNTAW CONSTITUTES THE MYSTICAL GOAL FOR WHICH IT WAS CREATED ORIGINALLY AND PRESENTES THE ARDENT PRACTITIONER WITH A LIFE OF HEALTH, RELAXATION, MENTAL POWER AND PEACE OF MIND. THE WELL-VERSED KUNTAWISTA IS PURE AND SELF-MANIFESTED.

THE FUNDAMENTAL TACTICS AND PRINCIPLES OF THE KUNTAW STYLE ARE VERY PRACTICAL AND FORM THE BASICS FOR EACH AND EVERY TECHNIQUES (PAMAMARAAN). IN KUNTAW, ONE CAN CONQUER HIMSELF, HIS SENSES MASTERED

MY AIM IN TEACHING (PAGTUTURO) IN KUNTAW “IS NOT FOR OFFENSE, BUT FOR DEFENSE”, WHAT I AM TRYING TO TEACH IS STREET-WISE SELF-DEFENSE. I AM NOT GROOMING YOU TO MASTER THE ARTS FOR EXHIBITION OR TO THE
PUBLIC DISPLAY, BUT FOR YOU TO LEARN SELF-PRESERVATION, SOMEONE WHO IS, TO PUT IT SIMPLY, SUPREMELY CONFIDENT OF HIS ART AND HIS ABILITY TO APPLY IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SAYAW-AN

THE SAYAW-AN IS THE RITUAL MOVEMENT AND DRILLING OF ALL BASIC FOUNDAMENTAL TECHNIQUES OF KUNTAW. IT IS COMPRISED OF DIFFERENT STANCES (TAYO), BLOCKING (SALAG), STRIKING (HATAW), KICKING (SIPA), BALANCING (BALANSI), SPEED (BILIS), AND RHYTHM.

IT IS ALSO A MEANS OF PASSING INFORMATION FROM INSTRUCTOR (GURO) TO STUDENT AND FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. SAYAW-AN PROVIDES A LINK WITH THE PAST, COMPRISING VALUABLE TRADITION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF KUNTAW ANYO.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT, IT PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT TRAINING (PAG-SASANAY) METHOD FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY DRILL OF KUNTAW TECHNIQUES (PAMAMARAAN). EVERY PRACTITIONER, REGARDLESS OF STYLES, SHOULD APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF SAYAW-AN.

SAYAW-AN OFFERS AN IMMENSE CHALLENGE. THE CHALLENGE IS TO REACH THE STATE OF PERFECTION EVEN FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, THAT FEELS IN COMPLETE HARMONY WITH THE SURROUNDINGS. THE FLOW OF SAYAW-AN IS NOT A SIMPLE MATTER. IN SAYAW-AN (FORM), FLOW DOES NOT DEVELOP OF ITS OWN ACCORD. IT’S DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES CONSTANT PRACTICE, PERSEVERANCE AND NORMATIVE DISCIPLINE.

EVERY KUNTAWISTA IMPROVE SPEED A YEAR MASTERING ONE SAYAW-AN (FORM). ITS RHYTHMICAL MOTION OF THE BODY FORMING THE POSTURE OF OTHER ANIMAL CREATURES TO ENSURE THE AGILITY AND BALANCE AS IN THE BIRD (IBON), CAT (PUSA), SNAKE (AHAS), PIGEON (KALAPATI), AND HORSE (KABAYO) STANCES/ OR POSTURES.

DIFFERENTIATION KUNTAW, KOONTAO AND KUNTAO
EXCERPT FROM “KUNTAW BOOK” BY G/GM LANADA

KUNTAW

THE PHILIPPINES, AS WITH ANY ASIAN COUNTRY, HAS A LONG HARD HISTORY WITH CERTAIN ASPECT OF ITS CULTURE AND VALUES SIMILAR TO OTHER COUNTRIES SUCH AS JAPAN, KOREA, CHINA AND OTHERS.

BEING AN ARCHIPELAGO OF OVER 7,100 ISLANDS, IT HAS SEEN AN INFLUX OF MANNY DIFFERENT PEOPLE . VISAYA (VISHAYA) WAS THE FIRST EMPIRE AND WAS EVENTUALLY DOMINATED BY THE MAHJIPAHIT EMPIRE AND CHRISTIANIZATION THAT BROUGHT THE FILIPINO WITH OTHER FAITH.

MANY PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES MADE THE PHILIPPINES ISLAND THEIR HOME BRINGING WITH THEM MANY DIFFERENT FIGHTING ARTS, CONTRIBUTING TO THE CULTURE OF MARTIAL ARTS WAY OF FIGHTING WITH BOTH STEEL AND RATTAN (YANTOK) AND THE HAND & FOOT FIGHTING ARTS OF KUNTAW.

NO ONE CAN BE SURE EXACTLY HOW MARTIAL ARTS ORIGINATED, EVERY LIVING CREATURS HAS ITS OWN WAY OF FIGHTING AND DEFFENDING THEM SELF FOR SURVIVAL. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE DOG FIGHT WITH THEIR TEETH, THE HORSE DEFEND WITH THEIR FEET, HUMAN BEING USED THEIR HAND AND FOOT OF DEFFINDING, AND THE KANGAROO (MACROPODIDAE) A LARGE FOOT, FIGHT BY WAY OF JUMPING,  SO THESE THINGS, WE CONSIDERED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A NATURE OF LIFE (MYSTERY).

THE ART AS PRACTICED BEFORE IN THE ISLAND OF “PERLAS NG SILANGAN” (PERAL OF THE ORIENT) THE PHILIPPINES TODAY WAS KNOWN MAINLY AS KUNTAW. THE KUNTAW BROKE AWAY AS ART UNTO ITSELF AS A HARD AND SOFT FIGHTING SYSTEM WITH KALI ART AS ITS WEAPON. THIS ART WAS PRACTICED IN HIDING AND PERFECTED. THIS ARMED WEAPON WAS PREDOMINANT IN THE KALI/ARNIS WAY WITHOUT BLADE.

THE KALI WITH SHARP BLADE CALLED KRIS/ OR KAMPILAN. IT HAS A LONG SIZE OF THREE TO FOUR FEET LONG DEPEND ON WHO’S USING. OUR GREAT LEGEND RAJAH LAPU-LAPU USED THE SWORD KAMPILAN THAT FOUGHT THE INVADER FERDINAND MAGELLAN OF SPAIN IN APRIL 1521, IN LAPU-LAPU ISLAND.

WHEN MY LOLO (GREAT/GREAT GRAND FATHER) AMANG HUENYO, LEFT THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE ISLAND OF SABAH, MINDANAO AND SETTLED IN BICOL REGION, LUZON, PHILIPPINES ARCHIPELAGO, HE BROUGHT WITH HIM HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE ART OF KUNTAWAN

THE ART WAS PASSED FROM FATHER TO SON UNTIL MY TIME. AS A DIRECT AND LEGAL HEIR, THE LEGACY OF MY ANCESTOR (NINUNO) WAS REVERED AND RESPECTED ALONG WITH THE TALES HANDED DOWN TO MY GENERATION, WERE THE QUESTION RAISED BY OTHERS SCRIBES (MANUNULAT) ABOUT THE SPELLING AND PRONOUNCIATION OF THE WORD KUNTAW.

THE FIRST THEORY IS THAT, KUNTAW WAS DERIVED FROM TWO WORDS. KUN CAME FROM KUNSAGRADO (MEANING SACRED) AND TAW CAME FROM HATAW (MEANING STRIKE), THUS UNITING/ OR JOINING INTO KUNTAW, MEANING “SACRED STRIKE”, SACRED IN THE SINCE THAT THE ART OF KUNTAW SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR UNWORTHY/ OR DEGRADING PURPOSES.

THE SECOND THEORY IS THAT MY OLD KINSMEN FOLLOWED THE ANCIENT NAME CONFORMING THE TAGALOG DIALECT, OUR OWN NATIONAL LANGUAGE FROM THE NATIVE (KATUTUBO) PILIPINO MALAYS ETHNICS GROUPS OF THE SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES.

KOONTAO

THERE IS ANOTHER, ENTIRELY DIFFERENT, MARTIAL ART SPILLED IN KOONTAO. THIS ART CAN BE SEEN 3500 YEARS AGO IN CHINA. THE KOONTAO SOMETIMES MISSPELLED AND MISPRONOUNCED. IT IS A CAUCASIAN CHINESE WORD FROM HOKKIEN DIALECT (OUT OF THE SOUTHEASTERN COASTAL PROVINCE OF FUKIEN, CHINA), BECAUSE OF THE CULTURAL DIFFERENCES OF THEIR OWN TRIBES.

THE CHINESE KOONTAO SOMETIMES CALLED CHINESE BOXING AND PUNISHING ART CHARACTERIZED BY TEARING AND BREAKING. ONE OF THE TRADITION OF THIS ART IS THE WAY OF CHANGE. THEIR MASTER HAVE ALWAYS SOUGH FUNCTION OVER MANY FORM CONSCIOUSLY MAKING CHANGE AS NEEDED FROM GENRATION TO ANOTHER.

THE KOONTAO ART TRACE ITS ORIGIN BACK IN 3500 YEARS AGO AND ONE OF THE DISCIPLE FROM THE SHAOLIN TEMPLE, A TAOIST PRIEST NAMED ” LAMA DARMON “, ONE OF THE GRANDMASTER OF THE SYSTEM. LAMA DARMON WAS THE GRANDMASTER WHO DEFINES THE TAI KEH (TAI-CHI

KUNTAO

THE OTHER WORD KUNTAO IS ONE OF THE OLDEST ARTS OF INDONESIA THAT CAN BE FOUND IN SOME PLACES OF THEIR COUNTRY IN THE EARLY YEARS, BUT IT IS NOT DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH THEIR ANCIENT ART ” PENTJACK-SILAT “

THERE IS NO HARM IN TELLING AND RETELLING THE LEGEND, AS WE FORGET WHICH IS FACT AND WHICH IS FANTASY. THE VALUES OF FOLKLORE LIES IN ITS MORAL TEACHINH (PAGTUTURO), RATHER THAN ITS HISTORICAL ACCURACY.

NOTE:
THE KUNTAW AMERICA WILL SPONSOR A 2012 KUNTAW SEMINAR AND GALA NIGHT AT THE HYATT HOTEL CONVENTION HALL, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, USA ON MARCH 24-25/ 2012. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE EVENT IS MY REVELATION OF ALL KUNTAW STANDARD FORM TO ELIMINATE CONFUSION OF DIFFERENT VERSION OF MY UNSCUPULOUS KASAPI (MEMBERS.
