I recently heard that Gm Taboada was been slightly plaged (sp) with an illness the last year or so, I would appreciate it if someone would forward my best wishes to him. I hope his seminar this weekend has a great turnout. I look forward to meeting with him some day and hopefully picking his brain!!!! and learning some stuff, I have met a few of his students in passing and they were all class acts.

An excellent seminar. GM Taboada taught a variety of single stick couters and disarms after spending a good 2+ hours on power striking and foot-work.
The only downside was the way in which his passion for the art and energy on the floor reminded me of Remy Presas..... and made me miss him.
I should also note that GM Taboada started the morning off by paying his respects to Professor and asking how many Modern Arnis players were in the house. This was my first time on the mat with him and I was both touched and impressed.

Hi Rocky:

GM Taboada is watching what he eats and exercising regularly to make sure he stays in good health. :)

The seminar was fantastic! Thanks to everyone who came to support GM Bobby Taboada and Guro Bobby Ladra by attending. We had 42 students at the final count, a number of whom were Modern Arnis students and instructors.

Rich,
Bobby was always a great Seminar guest. Sorry I missed this one. Do you know if he has a seminar schedule posted on the internet or anywhere else?

I recently attended a Seminar hosted by Bobby Taboada and Raffy Pambuan here in Florida, and I thought to myself the same thing. Some of his manorisms are are also very similar, like when he would explain a technique, he would pause after the explaination and look at everbody with a certain intensity (the room is dead quiet). Also, while everybody was practicing I was watching GM Taboada and Raffy Pambuan working on different things together, when GM Taboada accidently got hit in the balls, and then started playing it up, he had the whole room laughing.
