Rich Parsons Balintawak And Modern Arnis Seminar Is Tomorrow October 3rd!Posted on October 2, 2009 by Brian VanCise

…..My good friend Rich Parsons will be up tomorrow to teach Balintawak and Modern Arnis.  Rich is an absolutely great seminar instructor and I know that everyone who attends will come away with some thing special.  We have had Rich up a number of times because he brings a great deal of info to the table.  Rich has trained directly with the Professor Remy Presas, Manong Ted Buot and almost all of North America’s Modern Arnis instructors as well as a number of Modern Arnis instructors from the Philippines.  On a quest to better himself Rich has traveled all over the country and we are lucky that he will be here tomorrow to teach.  If you have a chance stop by.

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 Master 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.
