Please take a moment to view both videos and see if you can spot the fraud.
The first video is of Jeff Banaag a sikaran player - notice the orange/yellow sikaran emblem on his back and the Philippine flag on his arm.
Now go to this link and this is what was posted by Carlito Lanada Jr and notice the same emblems on the person that is supposed to be Lito Jr. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU073lhckwY At no time do you see a Kuntaw emblem and the techniques are the same as the previous video.

Date: Saturday, April 30th – NATO and Kuntaw Seminar, Sun., May 1st, Outdoor training/ Picnic
Location: Kuntaw Palace
Downtown Wilson ,
122 S. Goldsboro St ., Toisnot Park
Who: 1) Conducted by Grand Master Bud Cothern for IKF Members from around the world: Saudi Arabia , Canada , Florida , New York , Maryland , Virginia , and California
Description: Grand Master Bud Cothern traveled from California
from around the globe. One seminar (NATO) highlighted proper judging techniques and
standards for black belts and above. The other seminars were geared towards improving and refining skills, techniques, strategies, and understanding of the art of Kuntaw for individual members. Sunday was simply a beautiful day for gathering and reuniting. Newer members had fun reviewing what they had learned and exchanging knowledge and personal insights as senior members recounted stories of personal experiences through the years in the art of Kuntaw.
“The Seminar of NATO on April 29 till May 1 was very successful. The support of the masters and instructors are very significant. I salute the presence and dedication of GM Bud Cothern of his limitless time to impart the NATO seminar. The precious time of Kyud Bill and Kyudai Alice who really give all their support to make this seminar a success. We also feel the presence of GGM kyud Lito because of the support of all kuntawistas and parents.” --Rollie Descargar, 7th Degree Master, IKF Director, Central , Canada
“The recent NATO event was a smash hit. Kyud Bud had provided a wealth of information on form techniques in accordance with traditional values. My deepest thanks for your support and revitalizing my spirit. I also would like to express my sincerest thank you on behalf of IKF Jubail Chapter in Saudi Arabia Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Grandmaster Bud Cothern started his martial arts training in 1962 in the art of Judo. But at the age of 16 under the guide of a black belt, who was working for the U.S. Navy. He started what was to be his lifelong journey in the ancient Filipino art known as Kuntaw.
In 1971 Bud joined the US Navy at the age of 17 as a means to continue his Kuntaw training. Twenty-two and a half years later he completed his journey in the U.S. Navy. It has been over forty years since beginning his Kuntaw training, and GM Cothern’s journey still continues in the art of Kuntaw.
Mr. Cothern attributes his success in this Filipino art directly to his teacher of many years, Great Grandmaster Lanada. “He is like a father to me. I have spent more years in Kuntaw than not. Kuntaw is part of who I am,” says Cothern. Bud also studied under Kuntaw legends Benjamin Ortiz (forms instructor) and fighting instructor Rey Basco. Grandmaster Bud Cothen received the Golden Lifetime Achievement award as he was inducted into the Masters Hall of Fame in Anaheim , CA
Great Grandmaster Carlito A. Lanada, Sr. is responsible for reviving this art in 1960, when he founded the IKF and KNP to facilitate and better organize its practitioners around the globe.
In fulfillment of his father’s wishes, Carlito has continued to promulgate and allow this art
to evolve, while successfully maintaining the same stringent standards that have historically enabled its practitioners to effectively defend themselves against their aggressors.
