He is a senior student of Grandmaste Remy Presas and also was a very, very close personal friend. I am looking forward to making a trip to the Phillipines to train with all of the Filipino Modern Arnis masters in the near future.
I have met Senior Master Dantes before in Raleigh, NC in 2001. He is a great man, historian, and teacher.
I still remember his history and instruction on Cinco Terros with the knife. I also remember him using his foot to pin Roland Rivera while beginning to apply a "Come along" and explaining the sneakiness of the FMA(s) as well .
