Edgar Sulite (September 25, 1957 - April 10, 1997) was a teacher of Filipino martial arts. He was the creator of Lameco Eskrima and trained such notables as: Dan Inosanto, Ron Balicki, Larry Hartsell, Fred Degerberg and Diana Lee Inosanto.
Born in Tacloban City, Philippines, he trained with several martial arts masters including Leo Gaje of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, Jose D. Caballero of De Campo Uno-Dos-Tres Orihinal and Jesus Abella of Modern Largos. He created a new style and called it Lameco Eskrima. The name was a combination of the Largo (long), Medio (Medium), and Corto (close quarter) techniques that he learned during his studies of the Filipino martial arts.
Famous quotes containing the word edgar:
“The black cat does not die. Those same books, if I am not mistaken, teach that the black cat is deathless. Deathless as evil. It is the origin of the common superstition of the cat with nine lives.”
