Thank you for lighting our way on a path that you once walked. People all around the globe felt your passing and still look towards your teachings to learn eskrima. Inayan eskrima is alive and well and moving towards new goals. As long as eskrima is being taught the way you taught us then you will never truly be gone from our hearts. I will endeavor to pass on the knowledge that I learned from you and the instructors that teach me the way you taught them. Patrick N.

He is the grandson-in-law. Ray Terry raymail@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com ======================================================================== Born and raised in Hawaii, Chris Siangco's martial art influences came from the ones he loved most. As a child, he trained in the art of Filipino boxing under his Grandfather Elias Cantere, who was Hawaii's welter weight champ in the 30's. Growing up he also trained under his brother in the art of Cha. 3 Hawaiian Kenpo. He later began training under Great Grandmaster Braulio Tomada Pedoy, who is the grandfather of his loving wife Gail, since 1972. Under the tutlelage of the great grandmaster and Grandmaster Eduardo Pedoy, Chief Chris has become one of only three Regional High Chiefs in Derobio Escrima. In 1991, Chief Chris brought his family out of the islands and to the mainland to spread the gift of Derobio Escrima with the help of his sons. The true lineage of Derobio Escrima lies with their uncle, Grandmaster Eduardo Pedoy and the Siangco Ohana in San Diego. Their united goal is to keep the memory of their father and grandfather alive. - -and- The birth of the San Diego Branch of Pedoy's School of Escrima began when the Siangco Ohana moved out of the Valley Isle of Maui to the mainland in the early 90's with hopes of a new beginning. In 1993, their grandfather, Great Grandmaster Braulio Tomada Pedoy passed away. This was the catalyst that urged my father, Regional High Chief Chris Siangco, and my family to fulfill the great grandmaster's dream of spreading his art of Derobio Escrima. With the blessing of our uncle, Grandmaster Eduardo Pedoy, the dream took form. In any endeavor that one heads into, you must take time in finding the right path you want to venture on. Regional High Chief Chris decided to step off in the old school direction, teaching small private classes out of our home. He wanted to build a strong unit of head students and instructors before heading into the commercial market. For several years we taught in this manner, like the days when my father trained in the bannana patch and when our grandfather used to train us as children behind their home. We were brought up training in this private manner. As the years went on, we've seen enthusiasts come and go; nevertheless, we've groomed dedicated Derobio Escrimadors which we now call family. In 1996, we ventured in the commercial market basing a storefront school in Chula Vista, CA. For several months we kept this venue open; however, due to setbacks we were forced to close. A little disappointed, we still persevered and taught out of our home. The millenium arrived and a rebirth of the Pedoy's School of Escrima had found a new home with a fellow Hawaiian bred martial art. Sifu Pete Salas and his Chinese Kenpo Federation has open their doors allowing my family to teach our art of Derobio Escrima. Renowned as one of the nations top ranked tournament competitors, Sifu Pete and his CKF family have been a strong martial art influence in the Chula Vista community. As our arts have blended, so have our relationship with Sifu Pete. Our Ohana now calls Pete family and brother. We send out our love and aloha to this great man of God and martial artist. Mahalo Pete. We would also like to send out our gratitude and aloha to Head Instructor Cody Springsguth of the Just for Kicks Tae Kwon Do studio. As he ventures on with a new vision of his school, he has brought the Pedoy School of Escrima to take part in his vision. In this new millenium, the Pedoy's School of Escrima has found another home and family in which both our arts can grow together. Mahalo Cody. The Siangco Ohana and the gift of Derobio Escrima their great grandfather, the late Great Grandmaster Braulio Pedoy, has given them have traveled a long path. Along the way, we have met many great and loving indivduals who have opened their hearts to our ohana and our art. We would like to say much love and aloha to all of you. MAHALO ------------------------------ From: "Michael Barnes" Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2001 14:16:08 -0400 Subject: eskrima: Mabuhay Inayan Eskrima!!! As Mangisursuro Inay's time of passing comes and goes this year, I think about his main objective throughout his life. That being the spread and teaching of his art, Eskrima. Weither you follow Suro Jason Inay, the Inayan Brotherhood of Eskrima, or any of the other Eskrima groups that worked with him, you continue that objective. Every time you pick up a stick, knife, or use empty hands and practice with a true heart, you honor him. I feel so honored and privilege to have met him once when he came to Knoxville, TN. His passion for the art radiated from him. I really feel sorry for the new students who never met him. In closing, I would like say that I hope we all can be brothers in the art and in memory of Mangisursuro practice that extra bit, that next level of dedication every chance you can. Mabuhay Inayan Eskrima!!!

Can anyone confirm this? Jay Make a difference, help support the relief efforts in the U.S." I just attended a seminar with GM Ernesto sponsered by Kendal Coats in Tulsa last weekend. GM Ernesto appeared fine to me. In fact I asked him at one point how he was feeling (due to his illness last year) and he said he had a little numbness in a couple of places but he was feeling good again. So unless he got sick in the last few days this week, I believe he is fine. BTW his seminar was a blast and he seemed back to his old self teaching and all. If you get the chance to see him you should. M.
