Missed one master/What is the purpose of the question?
Hi Terry,
You listed a number of wonderful masters-I've met all of them and have high regards for all of them...
However, I must recognize my instructor, Master Narrie Babao (San Diego)...he too is an 8th Grade Guro (Master) under GM Cacoy Canete and has been since 1980...he had early "Classic Escrima" matches that were similar to how the Dog Bros. train...minimal protection worn...he is considered the Grandfather of Filipino Martial Arts in San Diego and an original member of the Kali Association of America...
In regard to Bill Lowery, why do you care?...GM Richard Bustillo was promoted by GM Cacoy Canete to 9th Grade Guro...we are Doce Pares Federation...GM Dionisio Canete is with Doce Pares International-a multi-style system...we are progressive and they are traditional...nothing more...I have met GM Dionisio Canete through Master Babao (they are still friends over the years) and he was humble and friendly...could it be that GM Dionisio Canete promoted GM Danny Guba within the Doce Pares International system?
Questions like that only serve to create division....if you know the politics of the situation, then why do you ask?...are you sore that GM Canete promoted Andy Gibney to 6th Grade Guro (Master)-anyone who can read knows of your disdain for him..if that is the case, please keep your probing questions within that scope before you offend someone...
My regards.
Romeo C. De Los Reyes
