I have been training with and studying under Ivan for 4 years, and only recently have I taken up Balintawak. In a span of 8 months, I have learned so much, more than I honestly thought I could in such a brief amount of time. Not only has it provided me with yet another line of self-defense, it has also acted as an outlet after a long day at work or school, and a means to meet and bond with a plethora of likeminded, motivated individuals. I look forward to the years to come! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Ivan is a great instructor. What I’ve learned from him in a couple of days - it seems to have taken a couple of months ( to learn the same amount of knowledge) from other instructors in the past.
