Pac opening doors for Pinoys in MMA as well?

About the kickboxing part, Manny Steward said that Czar Amonsot got big calves because of kickboxing. As for Pac, never heard him or read anything that he did kickboxing. During the countdown show of JMM and Pac, Merchant said Pac did kickboxing.

How is that nuthugging. I have read both fighters sighting pacquiao as an inspiration. Since PAC showed up you didn't even know what a philippine flag looked like. Now we even see them being waved in Mma events. Coincidence? I'm just pointing out that Pac MAY HAVE had a role in this. MAY HAVE. How is that hugging when Im just noticing coincidences involving the mentioned influence of pacquiao. I think your over sensitive in your assertion of nuthuggerism. I guess the mention of pacs name in here has to be used with extreme caution lest you be branded a nuthugger.

Born in Teresa, Rizal Province in Philippines in 1974, moved here in the US in 1987. Yeah, i know what the Philippine flag looks like. I heard of Pacquiao before he came to fight in the US. Heard of Navarete when i was 9-10 years old, staying up late to watch his fight. In high school here in LA, me and my friends by Pinoy magazine from a store(near Vermont and Melrose) to know whats going on PBA, boxing, and international games(SEA or Asian Games).

Uhh...nope. There are actually alot of filipino kickboxers, myself included. There's even a native martial art that's a different type of kickboxing. Read up on it. Its the fighting style matt damon uses in the bourne identity movies. Just because of the rise of mma doesnt mean that muay thai is the only dominant kickboxing style. They're all over the place. I seen a french guy own a muay thai guy with french kickboxing with just kicks after he got both his arms broken by the thai dude.

Yaw yan is not really native. I was talking about the various styles of sikaran, dumog and arnis de mano. A couple of my buddies and I have been going to AKA recently and experimenting with ways to apply its principals into a sport like cage fighting

I know of Sikaran Arnis cuz the town it originated is just a jeepney ride away.

Filipinos have every tool to be a dominant force in mma in its native arts. sikaran covers the kicks and knees. Mano mano literally translates into hand to hand or boxing, and dumog has been an especially effective form of grappling in my time sparring against mma guys because our submission holds are locked in from completly different positions than jiujitsu, which caught alot of guys offguard and had onlookers very impressed with the "what the **** was that just now?" feel. Its just a matter of training guys to be proficient in all 3 arts. Sadly tho, i doubt any filipino masters would be happy with guys watering down their art by mixing it with the others and modifying it for sport.
