Datu Tim Hartman Part 2 | Remy Presas, Kombatan & Balintawak Lineage

Understanding a martial artist’s lineage means looking closely at the teachers, training relationships and responsibilities behind it.

In Part 2 of our three-part series, Mr. Peter Tas continues with Datu Tim Hartman, whose background connects Modern Arnis, Kombatan and the Bacon-Buot branch of Balintawak.

This episode’s focus is the influence of teachers and the importance of preserving an accurate account of how martial knowledge passes between people.

Lineage and rank background:

• Modern Arnis: direct instruction under Professor Remy A. Presas

.• Kombatan: direct instruction under Grandmaster Ernesto A. Presas.

• Balintawak: instruction under Ted Buot in the lineage of Anciong Bacon.

• Professor Remy Presas awarded him sixth degree, Lakan Anim, and the Datu title in 2000.

• Later WMAA board promotions are separate from his Presas-awarded Modern Arnis rank.

• Published biographies record ninth degree and the Grandmaster title in Kombatan under Ernesto Presas in 2007.

For practitioners and instructors, these distinctions help make lineage useful, specific and understandable.
