I’m proud to announce that the North American Chapter of GGM Ernesto Presas’ Kombatan organization will hold its 1st North American Conference. This event will take place on the sunny shores of Lake Tahoe, California. It’s been quite some time since GGM Ernesto Presas has been able to visit us in North America and with today’s economy it is difficult for our members to make the bi-yearly trip to the Philippines. So the senior members of the Kombatan community have decided to take matters into their own hands by hosting this event. This is a great opportunity to be heard and have some input in the future of Kombatan in North America.
Here is the information for the camp so far:

Modern Arnis Family Reunion Camp July 14 - 17, 2011
Greetings-
We are rapidly approaching the 10 year anniversary of Grand Master Remy Amador Presas’ death. Since the Professors’ passing, there has been quite a bit of political nonsense. Many of us in the Modern Arnis community contributed to the problem, including myself. I can’t rewrite the past. What I can do is try to help our community move forward, but not alone. I have invited 11 instructors for their assistance with this task. We will put aside our differences and share the art that we were taught by Professor.
I humbly request the members of the Modern Arnis community come together to help us honor our teacher. The road to redemption can be a long, lonely one. I propose that we keep each other company and travel down that road together.
Respectfully Yours,
Datu Tim Hartman

Ebay Scams
Ebay Scams!
Greetings-
I hope everyone tolerates my rant here. For those who don't know Janice (my significant other) or me well, we are ebayers. I recently ran into and issue. I saw a vhs of Remy's Crossada volumes 1 & 2. When I saw it on ebay I was excited! I thought that this could be some lost footage of the Prof. I myself have been in several different video shoots that weren't released before his death and I was hoping that this maybe one of those types of videos.
I won the auction and received my tape. Wouldn't you know it, it was miss advertised. When I put the tape in my vcr I saw that it was volumes 4 & 5 of Prof. original series. I was PISSED!The seller did inform me that I could send the tape back and get a refund, but I wasn't about to let him sell this copy or any other bootleg. In the end Ebay did help me get my money back. So what is the moral of the story? Caveat emptor - Let the buyer beware. There is a lot of black market stuff being passed of as licensed original and WE in the know need to police it.
- I had contacted the seller to find out what was on the tape. He told me crossada.
- It was a bootleg of the Prof. video.
- When I brought it to his attention that it was a bootleg he said "it was listed as a copy" and ignored the point that it was illegal to sell it.
I hope I haven't bore anyone. It's time for me to get off my soapbox.
