Prayers to Dr. Wilfredo C. Matias...

[Cruentus]

I just heard that Dr. Matias suffered a very serious stroke. Please take a moment to send out your prayers and thoughts, as he is a part of the Modern Arnis family.

There is an ongoing thread about it here:

Dr. Wilfredo C. Matias 1939-2005

Earlier today at 1:50pm, the late great Dr. Matias passed away. I only wished that more Modern Arnis practitioners got to see and feel the energy of Dr. Matias.

He was a real walking butt-kicking a$$-stomping encyclopedia. In my humble opinion, the collective knowledge of our great art has been diminished with his passing.

God Bless,
Andrew
