Another tournament
The next 2008 ESKCOA tournament is being scheduled for June 28th in Stockton, CA at the Edison Sr. High School. Full contact in safe, respectable venue with certified EXPERIENCED referees and Judges.
Hello, My EBMAS summer camp schedule for Europe is set as well as the EBMAS Summer camp in Miami.
I am also promoting an open seminar in Germany in September for those group and individuals who want to be re-introduced to the Latosa Escrima Concepts. So please let everyone know that these seminars are very deep in foundation, and not in secret new techniques or deadly delayed stick hits where when you hit him today, they will fall tomorrow, by noon.
Learn what it all means. It does not matter what style or how long you have been studying, it is all about learning.
Leave egos, politics, and all the other bullsh*#t at the door where you can pick them up on the way out. This is the place where you can ask questions and be informed. The theory and the approach is designed to help you learn. There will not be technique after technique, after technique because what we learn, is the skills learned through a technique and how your body moves in the process.
If you are satisfied with what you know already, don't bother to come as I do not want negative people or those who want to prove themselves.
Please be reminded that there are no gradings or official instructors certificates given, those only provided through EBMAS. You are under no obligation to join any organization, be a member of any organization or be affilitated with anyone.
5/1/08 only 4 sets of the new DVD's left from my site. COMMENTS 4/28/08 Please note that I support: www.poker4life.org
Was in NYC. Great, great great........everyone was fantastic....not another thing to say....... no more to say concerning great students.
Today is April 23, 2008
This weekend is a seminar in NYC. Please contact Edgar at EBMAS - NYC.
I just returned to the USA from a tour to Italy, Turkey and Germany. I have to tell you the Italians students, the Turkish students and my private German students were "outstanding". They were really getting it. I am so proud of them all. With an education in all aspects of the Filipino Martial Arts and not just the physical aspect, but the finer points of why and how, the execution is sound. Special thanks to the seminar hosts and congrats to Cemil (Turkey) who is now a 2nd tech. and to Emin who is now in the Master ranks within EBMAS.

3/27/08 Please, please I am begging you, go to you-tube. It is the best source of :
Comedy
It makes you feel good
And it validates that what you do is a
far cry from those who can't.
I love it, just watch and you too will understand why the Filipino Arts is falling as far down as house prices. The most beautiful thing about watching these clips is some of the people who are demonstrating, believe what they are doing actually works................. I really hate to harp on the one guy who thought his hoodo voodo would protect his arm from almost being cut off. Whoa....must have been a news flash that his body (no matter what state of alpha he was in) is made of flesh and the sword is made of metal. If it could works, then he could jump off of a plane without a chute and not end up like the bug who crashes headfirst into your windshield shoving his head through his...........oops, mixed company.
As most of you know, I do not favor gradings or titles as a substitution for skill and knowledge. Whenever I do give titles out, it is something that is well deserved. These individuals have met my expectation as to what I would consider experts.
And the award goes to..............................
In the catagory of Master ranks:
Master Cedric Concon Master Brady Brazil
In the GURO ranks:
Briggido Villalon John Villalon Ted Deguzman Ed Chin Dan Cuthberson Greg Salcedo Dennis Ubungan
Tuhon and technical levels to be continued...........................
Note: And, actually some prior "master" that was previously promoted, I have since demoted to the title of "RetSaM". RetSaM, is the name of their newest mystical instructor. A a super Escrimadore who was lost in the jungle as a child and was believe to be raised by a herd of renegade mutant banana monkeys with sticks. And that is their story and they are sticking with it.............
At least they alway reach for the SKY--- I mean pie.
