The Festivals are being put on by IMAF Philippines. The Modern Arnis camp will be a great oppertunity to not only train with but to meet our brothers in the PI from both the Senior Grandmasters Council of Modern Arnis (Roland Dantes, Vic Sanchez, Pepito Robas, Jerry DelaCruz, & Rodel Dagooc) but also the Senior Masters from IMAFP (Cristino Vasquez, Samuel "Bambit" Dulay, Rene Tongson, Roberto Presas). The FMA festival will be a hotbed of all sorts of FMA to train in and experience.

I'll be there!!! I hope you will be there as well. I'll keep you posted of developments as they occur.

Yours,
Dan Anderson

James,

Your computer is just fine. The website is just up and should have data on it shortly, according to my source. This will be a great event and anyone who wants to get to the roots of their FMA should go. All for now.

Yours,
Dan Anderson
