MARTIAL ARTS: Punong Guro Richard Alaniz is a highly trained martial artist and is Grand Master of Blaik Kali Silat. He trained under Guro Dan Inosanto at the Inosanto Kali Academy in Marina del Rey, California from 1989 to 1998, and before that time he trained nine years with former Bruce Lee students Sifu Bob Bremer and Sifu Pete Jacobs. Richard is highly skillful with knives and swords, and has black belt degrees in various styles of martial arts which includes empty hands and exotic weapons arts. His horseman skills were vital to Richard breaking in to the movie industry and later advanced to a stuntman on many period westerns and modern productions such as Crazy Horse, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Two for Texas, Holes, Scorpion King, Murder She Wrote, Charlie Grace, Sioux City, On Deadly Ground, The Witness, Deadly Ransom, and various other productions.

Please visit www.balikinstitute.com for further information on his training in the martial arts.
