About Guro Dino Flores:
Perhaps the hardest working man in America, Dino Flores has evolved from being a totally aggressive fighter to one who is now more calm and precise. Dino still has a temper though and has earned the nickname "Aso'ng Gulo" from his fellow peers.
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii in the 1960's while his parents were teaching and studying at the respected University of Hawaii East-West Center. He has lived in various places including Suva - Fiji, Port Moresby - Papua New Guinea, Manila and Laguna - Philippines and Los Angeles - California. He has traveled extensively and enjoys all the cultural treasures the world has to offer.
Guro Dino is a Senior Member of Lameco SOG (Sulite Orihinal Group) also known as the "Backyard Group" under the late Punong Guro Edgar G. Sulite of Lameco Eskrima International. Punong Guro Sulite considered him his favorite backyard fighter based on his execution of Lameco techniques during sparring.
He was first introduced to the concept of "Arnis" and Philippine history by his father Dr. A.S. Flores in the mid 1970's through oral stories and Filipino history books. Research into his family tree finds everything from Malay Datus to Spanish Hacienda owners, Anting Anting wielding Mystics to Robin Hood type bandits, Katipunan Revolutionaries to American Colonial World War Two Officers. A broad spectrum that reflects the Philippine Culture and experience in so many ways.
His first exposure to informal training was in the early 1980's in Laguna Province, Philippines. Older relatives and family friends introduced him to basic street applications and strategy of the blade during long drinking sessions while visiting his home Provinces. He was a long-time student of Grandmaster Conrad A. Manaois (Ninoy Cinco Teros Arnis) and also trained for several years under Master Henry Bio (Sikaran Arnis) in the late 1980's. Since the passing of Punong Guro Edgar Sulite he has continuously trained in Kali Ilustrisimo Under Master Christopher Ricketts. He also had the opportunity to train in Kali Ilustrisimo with Master Rey Galang, Master Yuli Romo and Master Tony Diego. Guro Dino also trained privately for several years under Professor Ireneo L. Olavides in Eskrima De Campo JDC-IO in the USA and Philippines. The reason Guro Dino continued to train in these two particular arts was because Punong Guro Sulite admitted in private that these were the primary foundations for the combat aspect of Lameco Eskrima. Punong Guro Sulite sought to fuse the most important parts of the two arts he respected the most. Guro Dino found this fact significant considering his teacher had seen and experienced many arts throughout the Philippines during his pioneering research travels.
Guro Dino had taught numerous seminars and classes over the years. He has appeared on Television, Instructional Videos and Radio Shows promoting the arts. He has contributed to magazine article for publications such as "Masters", "Blitz" and "FMA Digest. Guro Dino has also contributed to book publications including "Masters of the Blade" and "Warrior Arts of the Philippines". He is currently working on several book and video projects for various masters including a book on Kali Ilustrisimo with Master Christopher Ricketts and Topado Long Stick Arnis with Master Joe Tan.
Guro Dino has conducted numerous seminars, lectures and demonstrations. Including conferences at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Los Angeles University of California Irvine (UCI), Loyola Marymount University, Glendale College, Cherry Blossom Festival, Lotus Festival, Philippie Tourism Expo, Manila Sports Expo, Balintawak Cuentada Gathering Las Vegas, Wei-Tuo Qi-Gong Foundation and The Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture to name a few. Guro Dino was one of the first instructors invited to the World Filipino Martial Arts Association EXPO in Seattle, Washinton in 1993. One of his proudest moments was to be one of two cultural groups (the othe one being traditional dance) to perform in the world famous Los Angeles City Hall during the televised dedication of the the very first official "Filipinotown" in the USA. Other activities include Guro Dino being fight coordinator for the original performance of the first Filipino Opera “Karim at Jasmin” and the Filipino stage Musical "Abadeha".
Guro Dino is a founding member of Kapisanang Mandirigma, Mandirigma.org and Kali Klub sa Historic Filipinotown Los Angeles. The Kali Klub is a volunteer collaboration with various non-profit agencies in Los Angeles. The project included setting up an award-winning program to positively divert at-risk youth from drugs and gangs using the Filipino Warrior Arts as a metaphor for adaptation and learning. The success of this program over ten years led to awards and recognition by organizations such as S.I.P.A Youth Services, Filam Arts, Pilipino Workers Center, California State Assembly, California State Board of Equalization and The Los Angeles Mayors Office. The Kali Klub has also arranged fundraisers in order to assist causes such as indigenous tribal groups and organizations dedicated to cultural preservation in the Philippines.
After taking some years off to focus on being a pure "student" and work in the background, Guro Dino has recently started teaching again in 2009 with renewed passion and vigor. One of his objectives is to honor his teacher Punong Guro Edgar Sulite by sharing some of the backyard training method to those who would appreciate it. He hopes to meet like minded friends from around the world who shares his passion for the Warrior Arts of the Philippines.
