I recently returned from the MARPPIO Winter Camp with Dr. Remy Presas Jr. It was a blast!
Dr Presas was at the top of his game. This was definitely not a beginners seminar. There were many Modern Arnis blackbelts at this camp (some even received Lakan directly from the late GM Remy himself) and Dr. Presas kept all of us in check. In the evening Micky Doto, who just got back from Iraq working with the 10th Special Forces Group, and I thought we could wear out the good doctor. But no, he kept rocking and rolling past midnight.
Lots of material was covered but the main subjects were joint locking and trapping. I felt as if I hit the jackpot when Atlantic City became Joint Locking City. Dr. Presas instructed numerous versions of joint locks and trapping including two stick, one stick, stick and knife, empty hand, etc. Some combinations I never thought were possible.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Atlantic City. Um, never mind, children might be reading
