Daniel Lonero

This past weekend AMC Leeds hosted a 2 day seminar with Guro Daniel Lonero. Guro Daniel is a fantastic martial artist and shared with us details, drills, history and techniques from multiple disciples.

Assisted by Frank Ruppert, himself highly skilled, Guro Daniel taught a multitude of drills and techniques covering Kali and Majapahit/Maphilindo Silat.

We started with double stick drills and as well as staff and stick, disarms from 3 and 5 count sumbrada and stick grappling.

Guro Daniel shared history and background as we moved into some great ground and standup techniques from Silat. I forget how many times the attendees gasped and wowed at what was being shared with us, both in terms of Guro Daniel's talent and the effectiveness of the techniques.

It was a privelage to attend a seminar by a martial artist who is not just skilled and knowledgeable but also very down to earth and humble.

Thanks again to Steve Gaulton and everyone at AMC Leeds for organising and making the day that much more enjoyable.


See you in class!
