How did the event go?

 

[Emptyglass]

It was amazing. Tuhon Gaje and Guro Inosanto were excellent. I believe our count of attendees was over 100 participants for the 2 day event. Most important was the spirit of brotherhood and cooperation between FMA practicioners from all areas of the country. Its a shame more people couldn't be there.

Rich, looks like a good turnout...

I have a question for you if you dont mind...

I notice your group is known as "Bulls" (with a bull's head logo) whereas all the other Pekiti-tirsia groups are "PitBulls"... any particular reason for the difference?

thanks
Rob

Hi Rob:

That was Tuhon Leo Gaje's doing. He gave our group the bulls designation for a number of reasons. One of them was he felt our group has a lot qualities which reminded him of the filipino carabao such as strength, determination, fighting spirit, and endurance.

There are others but the best person to ask would be Tuhon Gaje for them as he could give you a much better explanation of his thinking than I can.

Thanks,

Rich Curren
