I knew the man personally and while i'm amazed at what BRUCE LEE'S original student,GRANDMASTER JESSE GLOVER comment about the speed of BRUCE LEE and yet he could'nt imagine anybody faster than SONNY is a statement of truth because we saw BRUCE LEE on his prime while we are seeing the SONNY well over 50 years old !!!
Flows like water..got his balisong book but never had chance to study any under a teacher.amazing artist in many ways..he played bass guitar and was a great dancer too.his wood carvings are amazing as well..what a guy he was.rest in piece the great Sony umpad.
The blond woman is Guro Maija Soderholm. She does a fantastic job of breaking down Sonny's skills for her students. Sonny wasn't that old in this video, just his mid-50's. That's still prime for doing these arts.
I helped edit this video. Me George and Pierre sat in Pierres office making suggestions on the order and edits, whilst George did the editing on his computer.

Sonny was a true warrior. Lethal and humble. Taught me a lot about life.

master sonny , may you rest together with the gods
Fluid like a dancer. I think he was a also a dancer.
Still can't believe he's gone. A treasure.
Martial arts world lost a brilliant man with this guy.
No, I never traveled with Sonny. It's funny I just read your comment today. Last week I met someone new who knew Sonny from the old days (1980's).
Simply masterful. Died way too young.
Nice video seeing my old friend n teacher fom the past ... Much respect ... Guru Ben Pagtanac (Cabales Serrada Escrima Stockton Ca)
It is my goal to move like Maestro Umpad when I am in my 50's. Gonna start now.

Hey Stickman,
I know you knew Sonny very well. Were you at this Demo in Germany?
this style reminds me of the filipino style of fighting
