- Antonio « Tatang" Ilustrisimo (1904 - 1997) was the Grandmaster of Kalis Ilustrisimo (KI), a Filipino martial art bearing his family name.
As a boy, Ilustrisimo studied eskrima from his father. At the age of nine, he decided to travel to the United States. He stowed away on a boat he thought was headed for America. Instead, he arrived in Mindanao in the southern Philippine islands.
Ilustrisimo was one of the most well-respected eskrimadors in the Philippines. He was famed for winning countless duels and street encounters, as well as taking up arms as a guerrilla fighter against the invading Japanese forces during World War II. Ilustrisimo was never defeated in combat, and earn great respect as a result of his brave exploits against the Japanese.
Unfortunately, Ilustrisimo died a poor man. He was never recognized for his efforts in World War II. - กีฬา
Any position Tatang is in he reacts with speed and natural offense and defense you cannot beat him or catch him off guard thats the best Eskrimador I’ve seen!
Legend!
An absolute legend.
Thwre should be a tatang movie maby we can make one it will be our filipino ipman but more bad ass since tatang killed and fought in war while ip man didnt
Totally agree
Escrimadors from Cebu are the best! Bisdak!
I have Illustrisimo surname through my grandparents via my mother's side. Solidad Illustrisimo Meriales, married last name Loneza.
Amazing! 🤩
The only legit Filipino bladed fighting master to live in the 20th century.
The rest are either sportsman or confidence-artists. But the greatest FMA confidence-artist of the 20th century is certainly self-proclaimed Supremo Grandmaster Tuhan Leo Gaje Jr.
How he's deceived so many on a global scale is incredible.
there were more than just Tatang Illustrisimo. A lot of the old masters served in WW2 and fought with the blade on the battllefield. Guys like Leo Giron, Herminio Binas, and countless others who chose to live in peace instead of staying constantly ready for war.
Nice sir... very interesting...
In the 1940s in Hawaii their were great masters from the Philippines demonstrated fighting against ten Eskrimadors and beat 5 kendo instructors by a bet are this skills are still practice? Are their still masters can do this ?
No way that you can win against a legend some say that most of the old folks are good in Kali,Eskrima or Arnis.
Im curious, why does PG Tatang and Master Topher act as if this is first time meeting or so?

Was Tatang the one who taught Floro? Or was it his cousin Melecio?
I believe Ray Floro studied directly under GM Tatang.
