Mena passed away Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I regret to inform all of you that Grandmaster Jose G. Mena (Doblete Rapelon) passed away yesterday. I just received an email from the Philippines today bearing the terrible news. Grandmaster Mena was the very first Arnis teacher to open a school in Manila (Tondo). He taught his family style from Ilo-Ilo that was handed down in his family for over three generations. He made many additions to the style based on his own experience. He was a legendary fighter, and friend to many Arnis legends such as Antonio Illustrisimo, Floro Villabrille, Felicisimo Dizon. He was also one of Angel Cabales' teachers. Please offer a prayer for him and his family. -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm --__--__-- Message: 2 From: Ray Subject: Re: [Eskrima] Grandmaster Jose G.

Does anyone know the year of his birth? I should add this info to our FMA FAQ. > Grandmaster Mena was the very first Arnis teacher to open a school in Manila > (Tondo).

Do you have any specific details regarding Angel training with Jose? I have never heard of Angel training under Jose, at any time.
