Greetings,
I am sad to say that at I have been informed by Maria Presas (daughter of GM Remy Presas), that at 7:40pm eastern time Grand Master Remy Amador Presas passed away due to the effects of a brain tumor. Our prayers go out to the family that has been left behind. I will try to get the details about the funeral and put them on tour site (www.wmarnis.com) for those who would like to attend and pay their respect.

Prof. Presas was not only a great martial artist but also a genuinely caring person. It's sad to hear of his passing; I hope that those who continue to teach his art will be able to keep their focus on his fond wish that it be shared widely, and in friendship.

Rest in Peace Professor. Thank you for sharing. Your knowledge will live on.

Thank you.

Sadly, the loss is ours because we'll never have another Remy Presas.
His students will have to keep his memory alive.

A brief note to our visitors:
There is a thread in our Arnis forum also started by Tim with more commentary on this loss to the martial arts community.

This link should take you to it. http://www.martialtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=53
