RE:Professor (Carlo Arellano) --__--__-- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2003 17:58:32 +0100 (MET) From: Christian Farinetto To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] short history of G.M. Lema Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Magandang arraw, In response of Rays question concerning Mr. Lema here is a (brief) history of the grandmaster that I got from LSAI Grandmaster Benjamin Luna Lema founded lightning Scientific Arnis International in 1937 in Mambusao, Capiz, Philippines. He was born on March 19, 1919 in Panay, and his father, juan Lema, was his first Arnis teacher. He aquired additional training under several respected arnis elders in the Visayas. He also studied Karate and judo while in Japan, and was an avid boxing and body-building practitionner in both the Philippines and Guam. In 1941, he served as a guerilla under General Marcario Peralta in Panay to fight of the Japanese advances. It was during a special mission to Agana, Guam, in 1947 that he met and married Maxima Perez. They had four, Patty Jean, Benjamin JR. John Edward, and Paul Anthony, all current practitioners of the art. In 1959 Grandmaster Lema returned to the Philippines to teach. He passed away on january 5, 2003, 11:30 p.m. There are more details in the book he wrote on Scientific Arnis (can't remember the name), but if somebody is interested I can get more information soon in the Phils. There is also a tape on "Secret of Lightning Arnis" by A.R. Acosta but the guys of LSA International claim that it is a fake tape that must not be purchased. I also have a question, lots of FMA fellows in Europe and the USA mention the art of Panantukan or "Philippino boxing", but when I was in the Philippines none of the old Arnisadors I spoke to ever heard anything about it. Lately two of my silat brothers (one doing an MA in anthropology oriented to FMAs at UP) suggested that it is not from Philippino origin ... I just wonder if some of our group knows more about this art or saw it in the Philippines. Is there also a place where it is taught in Manila (I will be there in two weeks for two months and could have a look)?
