This is another episode of the popular TV series inspired by Pamana Tuhon Sayoc which is written by Dave Kalstein and choreographed by Tuhon Rafael Kayanan of Sayoc Kali. Just to clarify for those that might think Tuhon Raf's choreography is all fluff, he's along with Tuhon Tom Kier one of the main instructors in Sayoc Tactical Group.

Here are some photos of the Sayoc/Atienza Instructors (Tuhon Carl was just in Ireland this last weekend working with the Irish group in Kilkenny) onset of the episode. Tuhon Raf is a multi talented guy who is a noted comic book illustrator who has worked for both Marvel and DC on most of their most famous comic's. His family can trace their roots from a tribe of Filipino headhunters.

Great to see FMA getting the recognition they deserve will have to check this episode out. I have been keeping track of some of the fight scenes Sayoc have done for this show and some are just outstanding.

I get 'This video is private' trying to follow your link.

Sorry Smacl, the European members just got word on Facebook from Tuhon Raf that this was indeed a pirated link but the episode will go out shortly on Sky as we are only a couple of weeks behind the States at present

On top of all the previously mentioned pieces Tuhon Raf has also done the choreography for Liam Neeson's latest movie Non Stop.
