Anyway, pretty much the whole FMA community in the area showed up for a potluck feast, demos, and free workshops by several noted practioners including Carlito Bonjoc of the Serrada system, Marc Lawrence of Modified Pangamut, John Jocobo of Ilustrisimo/Swacomb, and Mike Giron of Original Giron Escrima. Numerous local instructors were present as well, many enjoying the opportunity to "empty their cup" and taste a bit of other systems. I could only wish that this fellowship and comraderie happened more often in the martial arts! At any rate, the FMA are alive and well in the greater Phoenix area.... even if they are mostly "underground" and being taught in garages and city parks.
