Martial Arts Oddysey: Kuntaw in the Philippines

Antonio Graceffo went to the Philippines to study the all encompassing Filipino martial art, Kuntaw, which includes stick, knife, and hand and foot fighting, as well as grappling. Master Frank Aycocho is one of the greatest Kuntaw masters remaining in the Philippines. Sadly, the video quality is quite poor, because the original episode was stolen, along with many hours of original tapes and videos shot around Asia, by Soso Whaley, who was supposed to be editing Martial Arts Odyssey episodes. The version you see here was rescued by a fan in the Philippines, who downloaded it and saved it on his phone. If you have copies of an of Antonio's stolen videos, please let him know.

shameless Soso whaley. I keep watching this video many times then I let my kids see this, to tell then that filipino has our own to be proud of. I also like your video about Rambo.

I dont mind if people copy this one put it on their site, in fact, i am flattered. but Soso Whaley stole the origanl DVD and won't give it back to me, along with hours and hours of original video tape for further episodes of Martial Arts Odyssey. there is one new episode of martial arts Odyssey coming soon, edited by Andy To. So, look forward to it. the stolen ones maybe come worth money some day, the lost episodes of Martial Arts Odyssey.
