BRIEF HISTORY OF FAMILY “LANADA” Posted By G/GM on July 7, 2013 ON DESK/ FILE 07/07/ 2013 GM OFFICE IN 1834, THE SPANISH OPENED MANILA BAY TO THE WORLD TRADE. AT THE SAME TIME A YOUNG MAN LEFT MINDANAO ISLAND TO SEEK HIS FORTUNE AND OPPOSED THE SPANISH DOMINATION OF THE PHILIPPINES. THIS MAN WAS AMANG HUENYO. PRIOR TO THIS MAN’S MIGRATION FROM MINDANAO, THE SPANIARDS ISSUED A DECREE THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE ISLAND MUST CHANGE THEIR NAMES TO SPANISH SURNAME IN AN EFFORT TO COLONIZE THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES COMPLETELY, SO THE MAN AMANG HUENYO WAS CHANGE TO “LANADA”, THE FAMILY NAME THAT IS USED TO THIS DAY. THE YOUNG LANADA, IN THE COURSE OF HIS LIFE, ADDED ELEMENTS FROM OTHER FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS TO HIS PERSONAL STYLE. ARTS SUCH AS SOFT ALTERNATE BLOCK, ETC. IT MUST BE NOTED THAT AMANG, WHEN MIGRATING TO LUZON ISLAND, SETTLED IN OGBON, NABAU CAMARINES SUR, OUTSIDE NAGA CITY, IN THE BICOL REGION. HE BROUGHT THE FAMILY’S FIGHTING ART TO LUZON FROM MINDANAO ISLAND REPLACING SOME OF THE TERMS TO CONFORM WITH THE TAGALOG LANGUAGE. THE WORD “KUNTAW” IS DERIVED FROM TWO WORDS, “KUNSAGRADO” AND “HATAW”. THE KUNSAGRADO MEANING IS SACRED AND THE HATAW IS STRIKE THAT MAKES “KUNTAW” TO MEAN “SACRED STRIKE” IN ENGLISH. IN LATE 1890′S, IBAN, THE SON OF AMANG, WAS BORN. HE GREW UP LEARNING THE FAMILY’S ART OF KUNTAW. IN LATE 1930′S, CARLITO, THE SON OF IBAN (AND GRANDSON OF AMANG) WAS BORN, WHO GREW UP AND LEARNING THE FAMILY’S ART FROM HIS FATHER. IN 1960, KYUD CARLITO ORGANIZED THE KUNTAW NG PILIPINAS WITH THE SUPPORT OF HIS FATHER IBAN. KYUD CARLITO LANADA, FIRST OPENED HIS KUNTAW SCHOOL IN OLONGAPO CITY, PHILIPPINES. IT IS BELIEVED IN KUNTAW, THAT A HEALTHY AND STRONG BODY PROMOTE THE GROWTH OF STRONG HEALTHY SPIRIT. TO DEFEND ONE’S LIFE OR LIVES OF THE OTHER IS ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF LANADA’S FAMILY. FOR KYUD CARLITO, “THERE IS NO MOTIVE FOR A MAN TO FORFEIT HIS LIFE OR LIVES OF HIS LOVED ONES.” AND SO FOR OTHERS LEARNING KUNTAW IS BENEFICIAL. IN KUNTAW ALL PARTS OF THE BODY ARE USED IN EXECUTION OF THE TECHNIQUES. THE TRAINING START WITH EXERCISES TO BUILD THE BODY AND STRETCH THE MUSCLES IN PREPARATION FOR THE SEASON DRILL.
