Sulite was born in Tacloban City, Philippines in 1957. As a young boy, his father, a boxer and arnis practitioner, introduced him to Filipino martial arts. In 1981, he moved to Manila and became friends with Roland Dantes, a famous Filipino film celebrity and martial artist. This created opportunities for him to train various stunt people, celebrities, and prominent business people. Also at this time, he began to train under Antonio Ilustrisimo.
Completing college, Sulite earned his Bachelor in Arts and majored in economics. During his time in college, he sought out different Eskrima masters to study under. Sulite became a member of Bakbakan International as well as the representative for Leo Gaje's national Arnis Association of the United States.
