Let's use this area to discuss Modern Arnis in Europe.
Dieter, why don't you tell us a little about how you got involved in Modern Arnis?

Renegade: The main problem is in the name of Modern Arnis. At this time there is only one. Before there was two. One taught by Remy, and a second taught by his brother Ernesto. Most of the Europeans that do Modern Arnis do the Ernestos style were most of the Americans do Remys.
Bill Lowery: A small point. What do the letters e.V., mean?
Yari: Maybe we can get knifeman.dk(tobey) in to talk about modern arnis in Denmark? And Johan (if's he's on the net) about it in sweden?
Red Blade: When did you and the DAV join the IMAF ran by GM Remy Presas?
He never asked us to join the IMAF and formally we never did. We had bad experiences with very tight bounds to Ernesto before that and he understood. He was aware of all the history and our background here in Germany in the beginning.Though, I also got my Datu, 6th Dan and "European Modern Arnis Representative" of him on IMAF certificates.
This seems to go against the grain of what titles are for in an organization.
Some of my certificates are IMAF and some are Modern Arnis Federation of the Philippines, however both are Remy's organization.

And how about Ric Bong Journales? He is Datu from Remy and as far as I know, and please correct me if I am wrong, not part of Modern Arnis.
