Grandmaster Ralph Sisneros

Grandmaster Ralph Sisneros was one of the few while growing up had the opportunity to hang around with the Kauban (group), old timers. His father, Daniel Sisneros was just one of a few members of the Moncado Federation who's Filipino martial arts skills were tremendous and rare to outsiders. Like training partner and good friend Grandmaster Frank Mamalias, Ralph had the opportunity to learn under various teachers of different styles.

According to Ralph, training in those days was hard. If you got hit twice in a row, the old timers would tell you to sit down because you weren't concentrating. The styles had no numbering system as they do today. Ralph can attest to the magical works of these old timers. Ralph is one of two original teachers who taught the old style, the other being Grandmaster Frank Mamalias.
