A martial arts colleague just texted me the very sad news that FMA great, Rene Z. Latosa has passed on. Rene was my original Escrima coach and his pragmatic, concept-based approach forever changed my view of the martial arts. Unfortunately, I have have been out of touch with him in recent years and I'm sorry that I don't have more information.
RIP GGM Rene.
