This first volume gives a background on Filipino Stick fighting and the Balintawak style and relates the story of how Bobby Taboada was able to come from the slums and poverty of post-World War 2 Philippines to establish a worldwide martial arts organization. How Bobby, as the poorest and least educated student, would become Grandmaster Bobby and be the one to promote his beloved art of Balintawak Eskrima to the world. The book details how GM Bobby created his method of training and curriculum to be able to safely teach the Balintawak style of Eskrima whilst still maintaining the practical aspects of this street effective martial art. The incredible story of how he was able to come from sleeping on the floor of his instructor&#8217;s house and doing any chores in exchange for lessons, to establish an international organization with thousands of loyal students around the world. GM Bobby has come to be regarded as not only a luminary in the martial arts but as a good example to others of a life well lived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comp-l9et30xn\" class=\"HcOXKn c9GqVL QxJLC3 comp-l9et30xn wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\">\n<h2 class=\"font_2 wixui-rich-text__text\">Product details<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Publisher \u200f : \u200e Dr Garth Dicker (October 18, 2022)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Language \u200f : \u200e English<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Paperback \u200f : \u200e 412 pages<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">ISBN-10 \u200f : \u200e 064560870X<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">ISBN-13 \u200f : \u200e 978-0645608700<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Item Weight \u200f : \u200e 2.66 pounds<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Dimensions \u200f : \u200e 8.27 x 0.93 x 11.69 inches<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2121 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/martialartsnc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bobby.book_.1-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"You can buy directly from GM, and have him sign your copy.
