August 27 – 29, 2004 WMAA Black Belt Camp I am happy to announce the successful running of the World Modern Arnis Alliance’ first Black Belt Training Camp. This ran August 27 – 29, 2004. We had participants from New York, Michigan and Canada. This event offered a unique training opportunity for our members to receive very personalized attention. Techniques such as Tapi-Tapi, Sinawali boxing and knife disarming were covered, as well as in depth discussions about the origin and evolution of techniques, in addition to Modern Arnis history. Participants were treated to a Balintawak demonstration by Guro Rich Parsons, assisted by Datu Hartman. In addition to the training, there was a pool party on Saturday for both members of the camp as well as students at Datu Hartman’s school. We are looking forward to next years’ event which will be in early August of 2005. Janice A. Stranc Director of Operations WMAA
