| TESTIMONIALS

“As a long time student of Kali, Arnis & Eskrima at a
sport level, Balintawak gave me an insight and understanding of
the 'what ifs... situations' in a more realistic manner. I highly
recommend it.”
Rolando Lampitoc - student

“I have been a student of various martial
art disciplines for many years. Robert Cinco's teaching
style
is one of the easiest to understand. With only a few months of
Balintawak training, it's easy to understand how one can
get
lost in the maze of techniques and special moves that this style
has to offer.
Robert's way of teaching is very effective
in elevating you to a competent level in a very
short period of
time. I have rarely seen a style of Martial Art taught
in such an organized and effective way.”

“Master Robert Cinco is knowledgeable, polite,
courteous and an extremely patient individual. His instructions
are easy to follow and understand, an outstanding teacher.
Balintawak has opened my eyes to many
aspects and scenarios in relation to combat. His direct,
no nonsense, and right to the point approach to this style of
stick fighting is effective. A must for anyone wanting to learn
a weapon art.”
Delroy Richards - student

“I studied with Master Robert Cinco for
quite a few years and have to say he embodies everything
that is noble about the martial arts. He is gifted, passionate
about
his art, and humble. He effortlessly commands great
respect from all his students. He always makes an effort
to explain all manner of questions with great patience and
a smile. For dedicated students who are willing to work hard
he has plenty
to teach.
The styles are rare and powerful yet
simple enough to apply immediately. The two man set
allows for intense
application. All techniques becomes instinctive.
I
have the utmost respect for Robert's system and his teachers.”
Sandro Grigio - student

“Robert's strict attitude towards his art
means nothing is diluted. All strikes, defense and counter strikes
must be clear and precise. It forces me to think and be aware
of all situations.”
John - student

“There are small subtle movements often
missed by other instructors. Robert explains why all these movements
are important, from a small movement of your feet to a simple
leaning forward or backward. They all have purposes.”
