Here's the opposite question, directed to the so called "Leaders" in MA: What have you done to damage Arnis and tarnish the dreams of GM. Presas?
Craig,SHADOW said:Ryan - 1. unfortunately the clashing of personalities of the senior students of Remy Presas does not make a good presentation of the art but hey, we could be Ed Parker's American Kenpo shortly after the founder's death so we're not that bad. 2. We each are doing our part to continue our teacher's, and now our art.
What's that supposed to mean??

Tim,DrBarber said:On 9-27-2005, I replied in part: This is what "...I have done in the past to positively contribute the legacy of Professor, I have taught Modern Arnis at Erie Community College in both Orchard Park and Buffalo, NY since 1987 to the present. My four course sequence is taught for academic credit through the PE Department. Professor himself approved the entire program in writing in 1989. I also hosted Professor for at least one seminar and camp every year from 1986 to 1994."
Respectfully,
Jerome Barber, Ed.D.
Thank you, Ryan,Gryphon said:As I promised in my last post to Dr. Barber, I said that if he said that I was mistaken in his intent that I would take his word at face value and publicly apologize to him.
Dr. Barber,
I did not have malicious intent in questioning you, but I take you at your word that I was wrong. I apologize for reading things in your question that were not there and hope that this is a suffucient means of redress.
Sincerely,
Ryan J. Kelsey
A beautiful and positive thing, Tim. I asked a question based on a statement of yours.T Hartman said:So let me ask thisĀ What have you done Jerome?
Tnanks Dan, I was in Rochester and Syracuse this weekend and just didn't have time to get on the computer to check the progress of this thread. The ECC Modern Arnis Program and the Symposium are two of the positive contributions that I have made to Modern Arnis.Dan Anderson said:Tim,
This is from Jerome's very first post. There is, at least, one of his answers.
Yours,
Dan Anderson
Dear Chad,dearnis.com said:Against my better judgement...
I have travelled around, met some folks, shared in the art and made new friends. (the important part).
I have hosted various seminars and camps.
I have served on the boards of two major Modern Arnis associations.
I have introduced folks in other FMA systems to Modern Arnis.
I have been instrumental in establishing Modern Arnis as a program core in martial arts clubs at two top-tier Universities.
I have taught seminars/camps in several states.
I have introduced new students to the art (the next generation, post RP, so to speak).
I have continued to seek out training from my seniors within the Modern Arnis community and found acceptance and support from top FMA players in other systems.
I am using Modern Arnis as a means to provide a hand up to members of our family in the devastated Gulf South.
I have dealt with a small number of posers and agenda hounds messing with the above out of some twisted feelings of inferiority.
I don't think Professor would be entirely un-pleased.
I am in total agreement. Well done!dearnis.com said:I don't think Professor would be entirely un-pleased.
I am agreement as well.Dan Anderson said:I am in total agreement. Well done!

Good twist but another thread topic, I believe. Question 2 I would answer yes. Any contribution should be validated. Question 3? Hoo boy, that's a loaded question with as many answers as there are opinions.Tgace said:How about a twist on the question?
What CAN YOU DO to contribute to Modern Arnis? Is spreading the art (seminars, schools etc.) all you can do to be considered a contributor? What does the art need?
