When did your journey in martial arts begin?

I began practicing martial arts in 1981 when I was 6 years old. I took a brief hiatus and resumed training at 19, and I’ve been consistent ever since.

How did you become involved with Filipino martial arts?

During our training sessions with Greg Fears at The PAL, there were specific stick requirements for the senior belt levels. Back in the early 2000s, their origins were unclear to us. My instructor at the time, Darrel Trudo, and I delved into some research and discovered that our training was rooted in Modern Arnis. Since that revelation, my passion for it has only grown.

Do you operate a club or school, and if so, is it on a part-time or full-time basis?

Full time basis

Have you ever received training from Professor Presas?

No, I had one chance and passed it up thinking I would have another but sadly I did not.

When did you become a member of the World Modern Arnis Alliance (WMAA)?

I joined the WMAA in Feb. of 2007

Among the various groups and organizations, why did you opt for the WMAA?

I began my journey with IMAF, but due to some political shifts in 2005, I had to leave. Later, I connected with Datu Tim, and after a few discussions, I decided to join. I’ve been extremely satisfied with my decision ever since.

What are your aspirations for the future?

To educate, absorb knowledge, and impart wisdom to the upcoming generation of martial artists.

What would you consider your most significant achievement in the realm of Filipino martial arts?

I’ve had the privilege of teaching or assisting at seminars and camps across 7 states and 2 countries.
