Hello everybody,
I just want to inform you, that my student Alfred Plath and I am organizing the 1st (and sure for long time only) Filipino Martial Arts Festival in Europe.
Even though it is a long way from the US, it will be a real event.
It will take place at the 23rd and 24th of February 2002 in Mönchengladbach /Germany.
This is near Düsseldorf and not too far from Cologne.
I was inspired from the way people from different styles treat each other in the Eskrima digest, which I think is almost always with respect to the other style.
So I suggested that we should organize a festival, where many FMA stlyes meet and this way
the respect and acceptance from one style to the other is getting higher.
Then Alfred took off and started to organize the Festival and now it will take place and it will be THE event for FMA in Europe.
About 20 instructors from all different FMA styles come together and teach their art. I will teach too of course.
Don´t miss it!
Check the details. Just go to

where you find all necessary infomations in english.
Today I have heared, that even 5 people from INDIA want to come and participate.
It would be nice to see some americans there too!
Best regards from Germany
