From the ones I've seen so far, they are not in THE Professor's league. It seemed like they were trying to copy the format used by their father, which is a mistake because it emphasis the differences in ability. The basic disarms shown in their video covering this topic showed different disarms than the Professor taught. A few were the same but most of them were different. I recently saw another video in this series, and to be honest it is probably my last.

I would like to say "thank you" to Rich Parson for being open minded... I have trained with Marppio every time they have been in the Northwest, and even though they are showing a different progression of Modern Arnis I have learned something new.......
No matter who the instructor is, whether it is Rodell, Remy Jr., Demetrio, Maryanne, or Carlo, Marppio put their hearts out on line, and gives their all to the students.... So, if you are looking to learn the Professors art of Modern Arnis from my experience you will learn a piece from the Professors art, but in my opinion you will also learn more about the Professor, his life, and his trials to make Modern Arnis what it is today.........
Personally, I feel that the Marppio group wants to build a strong foundation to Modern Arnis, so that would equate that they don't show all the "secret squirrel" stuff they have learned at this point. The best lesson I learned from the Martial arts is that the basics will save your life...........
I am looking forward to great stuff from Marppio, and they will always have my full support (even though I am just a Junior in the Modern Arnis world)....

My comment about MARPPIO was regarding the videos that I had seen and not about the individuals or their training styles or seminars. My comments are my opinion to a question that was asked.
I am also looking at these videos from an advanced level so I may see things that newer practitioners may not. I also have seen enough of the Professor to be able to compare, which was also part of the original question.
MARPPIO'S posting of comments from their guest book is NOT an indicator as to the quality of the videos. I will trust more from what I see here on Martial Talk where there is no vested interest in the product and get a non biased review.
It has been a long time since we've heard anything from MARPPIO here on Martial Talk. One negative comment and Bang! there they. As a major organization maybe they could participate a little more.
It could even help sell some of their products.
