Is it based upon Age?
I know of at least one with a Cert that says Senior Master, Yet I know many others also use the title.
Once again in reference to Modern Arnis

Any rank or title GM Remy conferred directly should be honored and recognized by the Modern Arnis community, no one has the right to question his judgement.

To answer your question, I don't know. I do know that the masters in the PI are known as Senior Masters and in 1995 I received that same title. To my knowledge I am the only American to receive that title. If anyone else has it, let me know. Where it fits in the line up, I don't know. Where it may fit in the numerical rankings, I don't know. When I go to the PI for the 1st Remy Presas Memorial Camp I will ask for myself.
Yours,
Dan
Dan Anderson said:Hi Rich,
Unfortunately the title was verbally announced at a summer camp. I have no paper stating it. Also, I turned 50 three years ago and the title was done in about 1995. As to if it was a promotion, no data. I took it as a bit of a promotion abeit not of the numerical kind. After finding out that the only others given this title were those in the PI, it became more personal to me.
Yours,
Dan
