2003 WMAA Camp Buffalo

[Datu Tim Hartman]

Greetings,

I am proud to announce our Second Annual WMAA Buffalo Camp. This camp will be May 2nd - 4th, 2003 in Buffalo, NY. This year's event features many of the top instructors in our field. The instructors and their topics are as follows:

Modern Arnis Instructors
Datu Tim Hartman - Palis-Palis and Tapi-Tapi Counters
Guro Dan Carr - Lock and Controls
Guro Jeffery Leader - Disarms
Guro A. Paul Dawdy - Anyo Anim (Form 6)
Guro Chad Dulin - Anyo Anim Applications


Guest Instructors
GM Dr. Maung Gyi - (Bando) - Tactical Folding Knife Techniques
GM Bong Jornales - (Arnis Sikaran) - Double Stick
Guro Jack LaTorre - (Pekiti Tersia) - Espada y Daga (Sword and Dagger) Combat

Special Guest Appearance
Ed Parker Jr
This year's guest of honor. Most famous for being the son of Ed Parker Sr., founder of Parker's Kenpo Karate. He is also a well established commercial artist. In addition to creating the tribute to his father (The Parker Portrait) he is also the creator of the WMAA Black Belt certificates. He will be attending our camp to debut his latest work, The Presas Portrait. This is to honor our late instructor GM Remy Presas. We are very excited and looking forward to having him as our guest.

The main camp will run Friday, May 2nd until Sunday, May 4th. We will have a bonus class Thursday night, May 1st, for brown and black belts only. This class will be available at no extra cost for registered camp participants. This class will be a "problem solving" class. Our goal is to clear up any issues with terminology or procedures with the WMAA curriculum. Saturday morning we will be holding a Black Belt test for eligible WMAA members. This test is open for all to watch. Saturday evening we will be having a banquet to celebrate our gathering and to get to know the members of the Modern Arnis community better. This year's event will feature demonstrations by several of the instructors attending in addition to the return of last year's Youth demo team.

I can give you the digest version of Chad's martial arts background. His first blackbelt was in TKD under John Billera. During that time frame he dabbled in Kendo and Tai Chi before training in RyuKyu Kempo under Ed Lake.

When I met Chad, he was training extensively with George Dillman. We both travelled and trained extensively with Professor Presas. He has blackbelt rank in Modern Arnis. He presentlyhas a 5th Degree under Dillman in RyuKyu Kempo.

After the Professor's death, Chad began to train regularly in Sayoc Kali. He also is involved in Datu Hartman's WMAA. He was the former Head Instructor of Tulane University Martial Arts, currently teaches at University of Pennsivania's Martial Arts Club as well as privately in Delaware.

He is an excellent instructor. This in my opinion developed from his academic prowess. He is a voracious reader with a highly analytical mind. He has a unique ability for breaking down concepts and presenting them clearly. He has tested some of his material during his law enforcement career.

Of course many people in the Modern Arnis community don't know him. He is low key, non-political, and spends a good deal of time observing and absorbing techniques when he is at an event.

His kata breakdowns are easy to understand, and they work. He will be working Anyo Anim breakdown at Tim's camp. You will not be disappointed training with him.

Despite Chad being one of my best friends, the above statements are true

Always the modest one

I though the was scheduled to teach at this camp?

 

[Roland]

That is too bad, I was really looking forward to his classes.
If he is going to be in the area at all in the near future, I will have to make a point of seeing him, and maybe even taking a private with him.
I have have heard of Dan for many years, and after meeting him last year, thought he was a great guy.
Personally, I think we are all missing out.
The camp just will not be the same.

Thanks for the kind words Brett.

Nothing to add about myself. I have some ideas I think are interesting and worthwhile; Tim agrees at least far enough to give me a chance to share.

Chad has the Renegade's endorsement. Need I say more?
