Estevan Mulloni I agree Aric. Usually people don’t want to do the “boring” training. They are just looking for the “Bruce Lee” Pill and want to punch and kick hard and fast from the beginning. Without solid foundations a building is doomed to collapse, and the foundations of our practice are the Stances; that need to be understood and experienced.…[Read more]

Aric Fowler I think you’ll find that no matter how many times you SAY this, no one gets it until they feel how solid you are. Then even though you’ve told them a hundred times, they still think it’s magical somehow. I can attest though, you are the epitome of hard work in this art Estevan. What a pleasure it is to watch someone work so hard and…[Read more]

Estevan Mulloni
August 19, 2017 · Fanna, Italy ·“..You will soon discover through practice that stance and posture are even more important than you had first imagined. They are the very foundation of fluency of movement, as well of accurate and effective delivery of blows and kicks. Unless you learn to stand properly, that is, to gain the c…[Read more]

Gibran said, “the mountain, to the climber, is clearer from the plain.” As I ruminate upon the event, my heart is overwhelmed with the love I witnessed among those who made the arduous journey to the New Mexico wilderness to partake in the Gathering.
Oft I say that the best defense is a big smile ~ and Bill Chang often told me that it impressed…[Read more]

Absolutely Don! That’s how I started when I was driving for a living in the 1970s. Got it from the Charles Atlas Dynamic Tension program from back in the dark ages. The concept evolved for me as I continued to drive and ride bikes for long distances and perceived a need for constant exercise and breathing.
But here’s one of the most useful…[Read more]

You have made a lot of progress in that year! When you consider Malabar at Sixty, you must be insane. . . but you’ve stuck with it and prevailed. Switch to AKTS since you are in EldaCaka Land and you’ll gather more training partners. :-)>

Yes! There is a choice of Ling Sing Toy or Taung Lung to advance to Level Seven, which is the material I mentioned above. In your case, however, since you joined before this level of “External/Internal” “Taoist/Shaolin” was added ~ it is optional for you. When you complete this next level you will be Guru Muda. That was the deal we made when you…[Read more]

Steve replied to the topic Testing requirements L7MKTST in the forum Questions 7 years, 2 months ago
The “new” Level Seven in Malabar is the External Shaolin consisting of the I Shing Po, the Tai Keah and the Po Qua Zen forms which were originally reserved for gurus. I think this addition completes the Malabar System as Willem de Thouars gave to me as my own system. It has always been my goal to teach Willem’s art as he wanted it taught ~ so here…[Read more]

This is a great video to introduce KunTao Silat Estevan. It seems that you have developed a speech impediment ~ I could only understand a few of the words you spoke. However, your command of KunTao Silat basics is visually obvious. You are a great representative and I’m really proud to see your rapid growth in strength, power & finesse that will…[Read more]

I have discovered that it is cost prohibitive to ship single items internationally. That is why I always include extra free products. In this case Estevan may want to up the quantity to mitigate the per item shipping costs. . . I sure would. As a matter of fact, I wanted two bottles for my first order . . . for the same reason. The Postal Circus…[Read more]
