Too much spicey food huh? :) It does that to me too. :fart:

No, you screwed the pooch here with your veiled agenda, troll. But, you're right in one way. I'll let the cleanup crew deal with your sorry loser troll ***, and I'll let the adults get back to discussing martial arts. But some drunk ******* waving a $20 flea market sword around like he's...

"I don't understand why Game's got his panties in a bunch, that's all I'm saying." "Like I said don't get offended for your Datu, he's making bank. Tell him to answer the Challenge instead, it's been offered plenty of times." You losers really are fixated aren't you. I thought I smelled troll...

I don't care none to much for fancy titles, specially made up ones, but I guess you have a point.

Who's kissing any ***? Who brought datus in the mix? *Sniff* *Sniff* You smell, familiar. Things are getting wild here man, someones gonna pay the bill. Not me, but I do have to see a man about a haircut. hahahahaha As to the original question "Are the FMAs "devolving" from the lack of real...

I wants to know. I know Presas appointed 6 guys as Datus. The debate on that's famous. I know a couple other guys also use the title. Thing is, they all seem to use it as a tie in to rank. I recently saw a press release that some gm awarded a "Datu Award" to a couple of guys, now one of...

Soldiers are bad. They have guns and kill people. Everyone should get rid of their guns. Then there would be no need for guns. Because no one ever died before there were guns. Hold on a sec, I need a few more hits from this bong. Maybe a couple cracks to the head too. Ok, and this shot of...

If your no "Master" and "just a student" then maybe the error is yours, and that what you are complaining about is simply your lack of real comprehension and understanding, and not really a problem. Maybe what you think is mediocrity is just your inability to understand what you are seeing in...

Interesting. Of course, you also have to consider the true cowards who'll show up just to cause trouble, then lie about it in deep dark rat holes on the web. I know a few of those hacks. Usually turn out to be sad bitter wannabes who you never see vids from because if they did it would expose...

I can think of other things that PURE reminds me of. If you need me, I'll be out back at the barn being reminded.

The problems here Datu, is that it's all about money and ego. Some will not attend because they are incapable of putting ego on the side and risk looking lesser than someone else. That's different than just not wanting to deal with someone who is less than honorable. There's a few of those in...

Thank you.

I've seen them listed as Punong-Guro's but no numerical belt ranks.

While doing some Google Splunkin, I found this nugget which might contradict Dr. Presas's comments on what a Datu is in regards to not just Filipino's, but Modern Arnis. and http://wordenreality.blogspot.com/ Who am I to argue with Master Roland Dantes and Kelly Worden?

Thanks, but I didn't see any of the family listed there and their bios on the site don't list ranks. True. Very true. It would be intersting to see if the paper some claim to have holds up to the families scrutiny, though I doubt those with questionable paper will risk it.

Wait. I have a mind? Please, don't tell my wife. She said I'm not allowed to have one of my own.

The family is basically saying that if you don't have rank from them, your rank is invalid, unless you have paper to prove it. This is a statement very similar to the one Jeff Delany put out shortly after taking over the IMAF before it split into 2 factions. It also sounds like they aren't...

Is it possible to have some non politically crapped on discussion in the Study these days? I want to move to Seattle so I can have easy access to coffee and have Bill Gates explain Vista to me. :rofl:

One version of the will which was discussed here in late 2003 stated: Of course, this is disputed by the familys statement of "My father, GM Remy A. Presas, died intestate (without a will) according to a lawyer from Victoria, Canada, whom I quote in his letter to us, “On the joint...

But wouldn't it be ok if you mixed you FMA with a little Kenpo?

Oh yes. The will. Who did that give it too again?

From what I've read and heard, an organized curiculum was sorely lacking in Modern Arnis. It would be interesting to compare what Dan's done and how he's organized things with the IMAFs and WMAA's systems. Provided of course the language is similar.

Seems the opinion of the peeps at FMATalk is that there's really no place in FMA for Sokes and Soke Boards.

Wouldn't that be a good question to ask your instructor?

Interview with Rosemary Presas "Remy P. Presas is the eldest son of the Grandmaster and Modern Arnis is rightfully his. Other people are trying to take it and trying to say they deserve this and they deserve that. You know, these people don't have humility in martial arts. ....They only want...

It's simple. Remy was a US Citizen. So US Law takes precedence.

http://www.fmadigest.com/Issues/special-editions/2008/Special-Edition_Modern-Arnis-Family-Institution.pdf Very interesting read. All I can say is, WOW!

To revive this, let me ask Dan a question or so. How does MA80 differ from Modern Arnis?

Tim's biggest critics have been banned from here because they couldn't stop making everything a sling or arrow aimed at him or playing games with fake accounts here. That whole "obsesed and in need of therapy thing". They now play on their own small time list where most topics always come back...
