hi all? does anyone know of any pictures of dan inosanto's father can be seen on the net please? thank you
i found this one for interested people "Manong LaCoste training with Sebastian Inosanto, the father of Guro Dan Inosanto"
Yep. Though I've heard that he's never been there himself. So I suppose you'd call him a Filipino American.
I think this same thing applies to most Americans... I'm proud to be American but certainly not thrilled with the current government.
I believe that Inosanto's roots can be traced back to Aklan province (where Kinaray-a and maybe a variation of Ilonggo-Bisaya are spoken), or so I've heard through the grapevine. A family friend of ours who shares the same famous surname also hails from Aklan, where he says that name is quite common. Perhaps it's an example of a regional surname.
Hey Juego, any ideas about the surname Sebastian? My grandfather was from Luzon before he moved to Stockton, CA. As for me, I'm 100% pure mutt-American. Inosanto said one time at a seminar here that he found out that his surname is not of spanish but rather Italian descent, which i did some research and found sebastian to be southern German/ northern Italian, not spanish like i thought. He said the spanish hired Italian Mercanaries all the time. sorry, i kinda like history. JDB in Stockton
