The above clip is the chopped version that they edited in to the movie.
Here is the supposed complete version of their duel.

I agree. Dan Inosanto was also born and raised in California. I haven't looked in to Dans background well enough to know who he learned Eskrima/Arnis from...obviously he didn't go to the Philippines to learn. He did a couple big no-no's that are basic knowledge to twirling a stick. Either way, I gotta give it up to Dan Inosanto, he did bring FMA to the forefront and brought it to the movies. FMA was unknown back then. And not many other arts can say they fought against Bruce Lee on the silver screen.
