FMA on the Travel Channel

[Datu Tim Hartman]

Saturday night on the Travel Channel they had show “Martial Art hot spots in the world”. It featured about 6 systems and they actually had an FMA system, Doce Pares. They featured Grandmaster Dionisio "Diony" Cañete. The piece was well done and even had some tournament footage. GM Diony reminded performance me of the time that GM Presas did a seminar with GM Cocoy. I would recommend watching for this show.


P.S. For those who have been watching some on f the Balintawak threads discussing the roots of the system being Doce Pares. It is very evident that both arts have grown in two different directions. Based on the footage that was on this show one wouldn’t think that they had common origins.

Is that the exact name of the show? I was trying to find a repeat of it, but the closest I found were some shows on the FIT channel (Fitness TV).

It is the travel channel. I taped most of the show, so you can see it when you get into town this week.
