We’d like to say thanks to PG Hufana of Bellevue Martial Arts Academy for hosting the latest World Filipino Martial Arts Expo.  Also thank you to all of the excellent instructors and competitors who attended the event.

LESKAS club members enjoyed working out with all of the instructors.  Here’s a shot of Paul, Jason and Bill enjoying the seminar with Ama Guro Raffy Pambuan.

As an impact weapon system, we focus on hitting hard.  To practice striking with force, we use a tire, which is pretty much a stickfighter’s heavy bag.  Here’s a link to the YouTube clip in case you can’t see it here.

We’ll be posting new photos and videos on this site, but for anyone interested in some historical pictures and a few old video clips, please click here.
