With regard to Arnisador's post - I agree with most everything he states with the exception of his last paragraph. I have attended numerous seminars of Professor Presas, Ernesto Presas and Mr. Hartman. The professor was a showman. He knew how to please the crowd. I don't believe his brother, Ernesto, has the same level of ability, either in the showmanship or in his level of proficiency in Modern Arnis. He may be an excellent combatant, but his seminars certainly don't prove it. Mr. Hartman is proving to be an excellent alternative in terms of his Modern Arnis ability, as well as his ability to "work the crowd". I would definitely attend one of his seminars before I would consider attending one of Ernesto's seminars.
