ABOUT

BRYAN SLOYER

Bryan began his balintawak journey at the age of 15 under the tutelage of his primary instructor Guro Jeff Soriano. Bryan was introduced to GM Bobby Taboada the following year, making trips to Charlotte with Guro Jeff every weekend to continue his training. In 2012 Bryan, by request of GM Taboada, tested for his "Completion of the Art" title before relocating to Los Angeles to pursue a career in film. 

 

Bryan has also trained Serrada Eskrima, Jeet Kune Do, Panantukan, Boxing and various other combative styles. In 2018, Bryan returned home to GM Taboada with three of his own students, subsequently earning his own Full Qualified Instructor title.

 

In 2019, with permission and blessing, Bryan established Balintawak LA. The school has attracted a wide variety of practitioners including stunt performers, actors, and martial artists from various backgrounds. Bryan still resides in Los Angeles, where he continues to teach and work.
