Hi everybody,

as most of you might know, there is a MARPPIO seminar in Tacoma unfortunately at the same time as the symposium. Here is a statement of Datu Kelly Worden regarding that matter and I can only say: thank you Datu Kelly, for this support.



With Respect


Dieter Knüttel
Datu of Modern Arnis

Hi Dieter,

Congratualtions on your recent promotion. Thanks for posting that quote from Datu Kelly. This is exactly the kind of supprt that we should be giving one another's events. I realize that some people in the past have tried to make an issue of the fact that Datu Kelly, The Presas' and Guro McConnell, had withdrawn from the Symposium instructor group. I was not hurt by their decisions, I was not angry and I certinly did not toss any fits of outrage. They each did what they felt was in their best interests and I wish them all well in thier ventures. I have stated that position publicly several times and privately to Datu Kelly as well.

Datu Kelly and I converse regularly via private e-mail and have done so since 1993 when we first met in Cleveland at the World Martial Ars Hall of Fame induction program. I have been somewhat amused when people on this forum have tried to throw the withdrawls in my face, because I have an entire body of private messages from Datu Kelly. I was aware at least a month earlier that the withdrawl might happen.

If people would prefer to go to see Datu Kelly and the Presas' on the July 11-13 weekend, please do and have a great time. Two events on the opposite coasts are not going to be competative with one another. I want to experss my great regard for Datu Kelly, his entire body of work over the years and he has my support. The Washington State event will be an excellent one.
If Guro Dan withdrew from the Symposium in order to attend the Washington State Seminar Weekend, that is fine with me. It was his decision to make and he made. I hope that he at least meets some new people there.

Great things are going to happen at both events and we are fortunate that there are multiple events available to us in Modern Arnis. Without numerous opportunities to work with different people there is a tendency to stagnate and regress instead of reaching outward and growing. With Professor gone, it falls to us to learn how to make the art for ourselves.

Good luck and grea training at the Washington State event in July. My best wishes to all who attend.

Jerome Barber, Ed.D.

Simple, because it is my camp.

Mr. Worden is really putting his money where his mouth is--that's very generous and very supportive of him.

 

[Dan Anderson]

Tim & Jerome,
It's time for a private talk as it sounds like some sort of flame war is being perpetuated here.

"First and foremost it is important to support either one if you can attend please do so.

I can not speak for Dr. Barber or the Symposium Instructors, I can say that there is a very talented group of Instructors slated for the 3 day event and at the very least it is impressive to see them all join together for the benifit of Brotherhood in Modern Arnis.

Just to clarify my stand for attending the MARPPIO event, I will in the future keep this event happening and it has a unique flavor all unto itself.

Without question the Symposium could be a once in a lifetime opportunity and to me it important for that event to stand tall and be a success in every way. If for some reason you are trying to decide which event to support and you can afford to make it to N.Y., I think that would be the direction to go.

Which ever path you choose, hold your head high and train hard, we are all Modern Arnis and that is what is important!"

Respectfully,
Kelly S. Worden

I totally echo what Kelly posted on his forum. It is unfortunate that both events are on the same day BUT y'all should attend at least one of them. good luck to Kelly here on the West Coast with the MARPPIO seminar. I'll be seeing y'all at the Symposium.

Yours,
Dan Anderson

I don't know what you are trying to do, but my camp is no war zone. Anyone starting a battle will be dealt with extreme prejudice. After I am finished, the police will escort what's left of the offenders off the premises, and I will press charges.

Any questions?

Lot's of questions, but none that you could answer!

See my repy to DocB above!

Extreme prejudice? Wow! Not impressed! I will be in Chicago the weekend of your camp, so you are just spitting into the wind.
Sgt. Armstrong, DocB, and couple of other people can give me my cues and directions because I have a great deal of respect for them.

And since Doc has sent me a very clear message, I will
just sign off here, one beating will be enough, thank you.

No flame war here. Just so there are no surprises, I am letting everyone know in advance that ANYONE starting trouble at my camp will be dealt with accordingly.

 

[Dan Anderson]

Good for the clarification. I highly doubt there will be any surprises of that sort. Surprises in the instruction I am looking for. It keeps people on their feet.

Yours,
Dan

Dan-

Jerome was in the area, so he stopped into the school and we talked about the symposium. For the record, Jerome and I have no problems.

[Dan Anderson]

Tim,
It never ceases to amaze me what live communication will handle. Excellente'

Dan

 

[arnisador]

Mr. Hartman, do you recall an incident at a previous Buffalo camp, when someone started getting a bit out of hand and an undercover police officer attending the camp settled the matter with one sentence? He was an Isshin-ryu stylist adding some arnis to his repertoire:

"Excuse me--is there a problem here?!?"

 

[Datu Tim Hartman]

Yes I do!

I am in full agreement with the above statement and in fact, we NEVER had a problem. The visit was simply because I was in the area, had the time and several questions that I wanted to ask. We missed one another via phone earlier in the day.

Right on, Lamont, the price is now higher. Still have a couple more things to put into public view next week. Just catching up on some other things at work and staying off the forums for awhile. Hoping to meet some of the people posting on this forum at the WMAA Camp on Saturday.
