Please excuse my ignorance,
There was mention of Datu Shishir Inocalla was a Ranking Member in multiple Modern Arnis organizations.
So, let me use myself as an example, since I do not personally know Datu Shishir Inocalla, and have only mentioned his name here since it is what made me think about this.
If I was to join let us say one Modern Arnis Organization, for example IMAF INC. - Schea / MOTTS. And then I was to join a Judo organization, no one I know of would have a problem with this. I would have to learn both curriculum and teach both correctly if I had rank to teach in each.
Therefore, what is the problem with me Joining:
IMAF Inc, - Schea/ MOTTS;
WMAA;
WMAC;
DAV (Germany);
MARPIO;
IMAF - Delaney or any other Modern Arnis Organization located anywhere in the world.
I would still, have to learn the curriculum of any of the organizations and teach them properly, to maintain rank and to gain rank (assuming I had improved and deserved it).
So, what is the problem with this???
Is it because I would be disloyal to a previous teacher that may or may not be in any of these organizations?
Is it only political? Is it because I might be sharing secrets from one group to another? In My Opinion, Get Real!
I know I have spouted off here, but I am serious and would like to hear other peoples point of view. Maybe it will help me understand.
Thank you for your time and effort to try and educate me.
