Acknowledgments
This book is dedicated to my wife and children. My children are aware of what Im about to write: when I was younger, having kids was not really something that was important to me. I was just focused on other things. I became a father at the age of twenty-eight. My wife and my two kids are the center of my universe and everything I work for is to make the world a better place for them.
This book is dedicated to my parents and my maternal grandparents. I lost my Grandfather during my sophomore year of college. I was grateful for the time I had with him. My Grandmother celebrated my forty-first birthday with me, and then passed a few weeks later at the age of ninety-three. Im grateful for my upbringing.
Lastly, this book is dedicated to my martial arts instructors, my seniors, my colleagues, my juniors, and my own students. I once read that people in your life often fade in and out with little fanfare. The constants have been there for the long haul.
The years are also filled with people that came and went, both in classes and academies at which I was training, and in my own practice as a martial arts teacher. At this point, I hope everyone got what they wanted, even if they came and went. Life is too short to misspend your money, time, or energy.
For those who will actually take the time to read this book, thank you very much. You have given me a great gift. You have given me your most precious, non-renewable resource: your time. My promise to you is to make this investment of your time pay off in multiple ways and in multiple areas of your life.
This book was written with much love, and (however naive it makes me) with the desire to make people happier and make the world a better place. Those are larger, loftier goals. Were going to get there by helping you advance your career like a warrior, and by helping you get that promotion and that raise that you deserve, all while keeping your integrity.
We have a lot of work to do, so...lets go.

In Addition
In January of 2020, I was in Montreal on a training trip, working during the evenings on this first self-published edition of this book. I had more travel in February and March, and then the world shut down. Im writing this in mid January of 2021 in our new apartment in Forest Hills, Queens. I truly believe that the world will reopen and approach normalcy again in about five months. When that happens, this book will be incredibly topical for a lot of people starting over, or looking to move ahead. Its time to make a hard copy of this book available.
Introduction:
Why Career Command Through Filipino Martial Arts?
Why Career Command Through Filipino Martial Arts?
Its a very logical question: What on earth do the Filipino Martial Arts have to do with advancing ones career? First, lets clarify something. Just like there are a multitude of islands that make up the Philippines themselves, there are a staggering amount of different Filipino Martial Arts systems.
There are even regional terms one might hear such as Escrima, Kali, or Arnis. The problem is that because there are so many different systems, sometimes practitioners use up time that could be spent training on arguing about terminology.
One of my primary instructors, an amazing man named Dan Inosanto, (and Ill use terms like Guru and Sifu, both are different ways to address ones teacher, and yes, I know most Filipinos prefer Guro over Guru, but most westerners know the version the ends with a u) was given some sage advice early in his martial arts teaching career.
The advice he received was to refer to all of those arts by the blanket term The Filipino Martial Arts, or the FMAs. He was given that advice by his father, Sabastian Inosanto (a respected, almost Ceasar Chavez-like figure for the Filipino American people in Stockton, California, a city with a large Filipino American population). In the same way that Kung Fu is a widely accepted term for the martial arts coming out of China, Filipino Martial Arts is a blanket term for the martial arts coming out of the Philippines. The FMAs are very often characterized by training with sticks and bladed weapons (even though the FMAs go way beyond those weapons configurations).
So, why Career Command Through Filipino Martial Arts? When one trains in the FMAs, in a very short time, no matter the age, height, or strength of the individual, the practitioner will be whizzing sticks through the air at over one hundred miles per hour. In short order, the practitioner will be developing skills to fight with blades. On an expedited time frame, the practitioner develops physical skills and coordination most never thought possible in their lifetimes.
Why Career Command Through Filipino Martial Arts? Because the FMAs change your DNA in terms of the way one carries himself/herself in the world. The FMAs lead to a dynamic command presence, or the ability to capture the attention of one hundred percent of everyone in every professional space the practitioner enters. The FMAs will be the vehicle for all those out there reading this to advance their careers while retaining their secret weapon: their integrity.
Im going to make this idea very explicit for all those of you reading this: if you are stuck in your career (and Ive been there), your promotion and your raise are a gateway. Yes, they are a gateway for you to have the income and the life you want and deserve. The promotion and your raise are also the gateway you must step through because your company needs you to assume your new position (and the salary that goes with it).
You might not be ready to hear that, and thats okay. Im going to share that idea with you anyway: your company (and your entire industry) needs you to get your promotion and your raise, but your company needs you to walk through that gateway with your integrity intact. You have a unique, creative, professional voice that you must not compromise (and its so tempting to do so, especially when it seems like the loudmouthed jerks are the only ones having their ideas heard, and their ideas are never that good).
That is one of my greater purposes in writing this book: I want to get you through that gateway and to the other side without giving into the temptation to start acting just like the people who seem to be getting ahead even though they dont have as much to bring to the table as you.
Getting your promotion and your raise by doing that is to sell out, and your unique, professional voice is too important to compromise. The FIlipino Martial Arts are going to be your vehicle for this transformation. Im going to help you develop a dynamic command presence. Im going to help you advance your career like a warrior. Im going to help you get that promotion and that raise while keeping your dignity intact.
Lets define exactly who should be here:
- If you are feeling stuck and stagnant in your career, you are the primary type of reader for whom Im writing this book.
- If you are a Filipino Martial Arts practitioner/aficionado and you would like to read about how the FMAs can be utilized in another life context, this is an excellent book for you to read.
- If you like martial arts, but you dont have time for regular classes (either in an Academy or online), this book is your opportunity to harness the power of martial arts to make your career (and thus your life) better, which is the whole point of martial arts.
That was actually a huge part of why I decided to create Career Command Through Filipino Martial Arts in the first place: I know that martial arts are a vehicle for people to make their lives better, but I also know that there are people out there who, as much as they truly want to train, they simply cannot at this time.
