Jon , I love your point on view on the FMA. You have a great way to make use of the training , & be open minded to it also. I like that in a martial artist. Also a good attitude to broaden horizons in the arts as well. Like to hook up with you in the future. I am in NJ USA ( NEW JERSEY.). If you’re interested , & not doing anything important next month there will be a 3 Day Outdoor Kuntao Camp /event that will be taking place in Southbury , Connecticut USA. Sifu Ron Kosakowski will be heading it. The dates are July 25 – 27 2014. Here is the website for further info. http://www.psdtc.com

Thanks Mark. I try very hard to keep an open mind. It is not easy to overcome biases.But sometime we should take a look at the other side of the fence.
I live in indonesia.
Is there any eskrima/arnis/kali camp, workshop or seminar this year? For 5-14 days (10 hours each day) is very good. Held in philipines or asia is better.
learn fighting stick, knife, disarm (no weapon) for self defense in the street
I come for learn, not for vacation
Need info please
I want to find folks to practice arnis. I studied with Remy Preses in LA back in 1980’s. was in the 1st class he gave in LA years ago. Still have sticks he gave me.
Awesome! Are you still swinging them?
Well I’m older now…..awfully older….but yes, I swing them a bit. I was maybe 24 when I first met Preses in LA. He taught all over LA at the time at various schools running clinics in arnis. When I was 16 I worked in a Chinese restaurant washing pots and the chef was from the Philipines. I really learned from him early on and that has lasted all these years. At night after the restaurant closed we would all go take a swim, get the smell of Chinese food off our arms and work arnis on the beach nearby. Small classes worked well. He used to throw chopping knives into a wooden cutting board he had on the wall. I don’t remember his name but he was a tough guy. Great chef. Rough teaching style. Everyone had black and blue marks. I’m teaching my 12 year old grand daughter a bit. My son and I enjoy cracking each others knuckles occasionally and working technique. I’m about 20 minutes on Route 2 south of Haifa. Do you ever get out into a park or run a class up here at any time? Maybe we can get to you folks on a Saturday but mid week is tough. Thoughts?
