From the SAYOC Archives. Circa 2010. Manong Dan Inosanto “There’s a lot of good Filipino knife systems. Pekiti Tirsia’s a good system. The Villabrille - Largusa system is very good. The Illustrisimo system is very good. A lot of good knife systems.   But the SAYOC system, it stands out to me in my opinion, this is my opinion only, probably the premiere knife system you can find. That’s not saying Pekiti Tirsia isn’t any good. Not saying Illustrisimo isn’t any good — but it’s individually, but as far as the program — I think without a doubt, I rate the SAYOC system one of the tops, if not the top, knife system in the United States.  But that’s just strictly my opinion.” Manong Dan Inosanto 2010

A “ SAYOC Tuhon”  from the source who originally created that rank must be earned.  

“ Tuhon” rank is not a title that is ever taken lightly in Sayoc, it is not for sale, one can not be promoted by outsiders no matter their titles, it is a rank that was created, sharpened and the shine that comes from being called a “ Tuhon “ is due to the deeds propagated from One Tribe, Sayoc Kali.

A Sayoc Tuhon rank only means something to an individual who embraces the challenges and work ethic that are required to strengthen others in the tribe and who has accomplished deeds that evolve the system for the future. A person who cares solely on what will benefit their own self interests does not care about rank. A rank is an oath to uphold not only what honors who came before them but most importantly, how they will train others to the tribe’s standards.

A person does not call himself a Sayoc Tuhon - Others regard them as that, because they are authentic, capable and draw their blade to give respect to the deeds of the ten thousand hands before them.

Lastly, the Sayoc Tuhon rank is not a lifetime rank, instead it is a rank that time holds accountable throughout one’s life.

Tuhon Nick Sacoulas began his martial arts journey in 1983 and founded Progressive Martial Arts in 1995.

He holds several prestigious titles:
- Full Instructor in Jeet Kune Do / Jun Fan Gung Fu and the Filipino Martial Arts under SiFu Dan Inosanto.
- Senior Instructor in Muay Thai under Ajarn Surachai Sirisute.
- Full Instructor in Combat Submission Wrestling under Sensei Erik Paulson.
- Full Dog Brother, known as Raw Dog, in the Dog Brothers Real Contact Stickfighting Group.
- Tuhon in Sayoc Kali under Pamana Tuhon Christopher Sayoc, Sr.

Legacy.
If you look at old archival group pics of Filipino tribes, do your students fit in with the guy up front or the ones in the back? If you don’t respect your tribal art — who should?
