FMA in DC...

[Bammx2]

Greetings one and all!!

I have a question: One of my students is leaving the UK to go work for a year in Washington DC.
He has only been with me for a few months and he becomming quite a convert to the FMA (we get them all eventually%-} )

Since there are no Rapid Arnis clubs in the US..yet...he would like to continue training when he gets over there.

Can anyone recommend any FMA clubs in the DC area?
Maryland and surrounding areas would be fine as well.
He has already shown some interest in Pakiti Tirsia as well, so anything along that line would be great.

I thank you all in advance!

MABUHAY!!

Look into Guro Steve Braun as well, you can find his info on the Inosanto website. Good Kali work along with Silat, Muay Thai, Bando, Jun Fan/JKD, Shootwrestling. He is also a great source. If he asks where you found out about him, spell my name as you see it here and mention long redhair, he'll know who I am. Mention that to Tuhon Felix Cortes, he will probably start cursing. LOL. Your student can find a lot of good people in the DC area. Tell your student to stay away from south east DC. LOL. I wish him the best of luck. PEACE

Sorry for the brief reply. If you are interested in the Cacoy Doce Pares style of FMA Kick Connection is the place to go. Mr Carlos is a Master of the art (http://www.fmadigest.com/Issues/special-editions/2006/Special-Edition_Cacoy-Doce-Pares.pdf page 47) and a great teacher. His staff is top notch.
