Grandmaster Dan Anderson

I first met Dan Anderson in 2002 at an Arnis camp in Buffalo NY. He always seems to be smiling and has time to share a story of a technique. It had been a few years since I saw him last so was very glad to see him on the 2011 Modern Arnis Reunion Camp instructor list. I’m pleased to present this color version of his 2011 Master’s Portrait.

A student of both the late Modern Arnis Grandmaster Remy Presas and Balintawak Grandmaster Ted Buot, Rich's understanding →

I first met Rick Manglinong back in 2002 at a World Modern Arnis Alliance training camp where he was a guest instructor. Billed as an expert with the double stick, Rick freely shared his skills and has become over the years a good friend. In 2007 the late Grandmaster Ernesto Presas promoted Rick to 9th degree and awarded him the →

In my prior article I talked about getting faster glass so you can use a wider aperture to capture more light.
