The best way to get in touch with him is through his cell phone. If you wish, you can send an e-mail to him through me. I'll print it out, then find a way to give it to him. I'll e-mail back his reply. (low tech and slow, but your message will get to him, eventually) Dear tocayo Jun Meneses: You are welcome. By the way, Master Romy lives in Sucat, Muntinlupa, literally near the Laguna de Bay. As far as I know, he holds regular FMA classes: (a) at the basketball court of South Forbes, Makati every Saturday afternoon, (b) at the clubhouse of Santa Rosa Village 2, Santa Rosa, Laguna every Saturday morning starting at 8:00 am, and (c) Lhuiller Bldg, Reposo St., Makati every Monday evening. He also does one-on-one classes for select students. His rates are also quite reasonable. Very truly yours, Jun Mendoza --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2005 01:47:13 +0100 From: Alex 'Twist' Bohusch To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [Eskrima] Stick Materials Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net White Wax Wood As far as I know its some kind of chinese "privet" (liguster in German).

I see you are a 2nd degree black belt in Doce Pares Eskrima under Grandmaster Cacoy Canete and also a 2nd degree black belt in Wun Hop Kuen Do under Professor Al Dacascos for which you studied each art 18 and 20 years respectively. In the April 2005 issue of Inside Kung Fu there is an article "Streamlined For The Street" about Professor Al Dacascos along with John Daniels creating a new style called "Filipino Combative Martial Arts". Are you also affiliated with this style? In the article, Grandmaster Dacascos mentions that many of his top black belts became very good students under Grandmaster Canete and consequently, he found himself on the receiving end of his student's sticks. He also states that Grandmaster Canete helped him develop in the Filipino arts. Shawn, since you have been associated with these two Grandmasters for over a long period of time, is it possible for you to provide more information on FCMA or Grandmaster Dacascos FMA training. I found the article to be vague. Respectfully, Al Sardinas Student of The Garimot System of Arnis --__--__-- Message: 5 From: "Karen Pence" To: Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 21:35:48 -0600 Subject: [Eskrima] Suggestions on attracting judges for tournaments Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hey Everyone. We need a little help, and thought, what a better place then this forum to go. We are attempting to attract qualified judges for a series of upcoming tournaments. We are looking from judges from outside of our school, so that all of the contestants feel they are getting a fair shot. We are hosting a tournament in April and are looking for qualified judges. If any one has any suggestions on attracting judges we would greatly appreciate your help. Also, along those lines we are hosting a pretournament rules seminar. This seminar will give everyone the opportunity to learn the rules of the 7 divisions that we will be sponsoring at the tournament in April. This seminar will also give any one interested in judging a chance to become a certified judge. The free Rules Seminar will be held Saturday, February 26, 2005 from 2pm - 5pm. The seminar will allow participants to discuss and practice the rules so please bring your sparring gear. Some gear will be supplied if you need it. The goal here is to allow everyone the time to practice and stop in the middle to ask questions and find out how to get better according to current rules. Please contact Larry St. Clair at martialway@hotmail.com for more information on the seminar. In the mean time, if any one has any advice on how to help us attract people interested in judging this upcoming tournament, as well as future tournaments, we would greatly appreciate your insite. If you have had something that worked for the tournament you sponsored, we would love to hear about it. Thanks in advance.

I just wanted to introduce myself: My name is Shawn Keren, I have been studying FMA for about 18 years and am currently a 2nd degree black belt in Doce Pares Eskrima under Grand Master Cacoy Canete. I am also a 2nd degree black belt in Wun Hop Kuen Do under Professor Al Dacascos. I've studied WHKD with him for 20 years. I've noticed that most of the posts that I've seen are from folks in the Pilippenes, I know that there is a thriving comunity of FMAers here in the states and look forward to hearing from you folks as well.

Yes I am affiliated with Professor Dacascos's Filipino Combative Martial Arts and hold the rank of 2nd degree in that system as well. The FCMA is a collaborative effort by Professor Dacascos and Guro John Daniels (J.D.) to bring their extensive knowledge together. Guro J.D. is also a high ranking black belt under GM Canete in Doce Pares, he has also studied extensively with Guro Dan Inosanto in FMA, Muay Thai & JKD. I'm not sure of Professor Dacascos's early FMA background, although I know that one of his early Kajukenbo instructors, Sijo Adrianno Emperado, was a very skilled Eskrimador, and Eskrima plays a large role within Kajukenbo - especially the old hard line Hawaiian schools. I do know that Professor Dacascos has trained extensively with GM Canete and hold at least a 5th degree in Doce Pares. (I was there when he was promoted in 2001).
