Special guest instructors Doug Perry and Phillip Jerome will be going over the bo (6 foot long staff). Practitioners of Modern Arnis will readily see how the bo relates to the 12 angles of attack and flow of Modern Arnis.

Modern Arnis instructors will cover topics such as MA basics, sinawali boxing, classical styles within Modern Arnis, tapi-tapi, reversal techniques, Modern Arnis blade applications, and much, much more.

This camp will show the richness and diversity of application that is in the art of Modern Arnis. This is going to be a very exciting camp. Aside from the Modern Arnis instructors, the instruction provided by Senseis Perry and Jerome will show us how to formulate our own application of the Filipino staff art, sibat. A note here: Sensei Doug Perry is one of the few karate practitioners mentioned in Robert W. Smith's most recent book, Martial Musings.

Words fail to convey what a special honor it is to have Mr. Smith guest at our event. His literary influence on the martial arts in America has long been underrated. He has been a driving force in the early national formation of judo organizations as well as having written the first books on internal martial arts in the English language. I will have more details forthcoming as to when he'll be there as I get them.

A pdf file will available for download from my website, www.danandersonkarate.com within a few days. I will be mailing hard copy flyers as well. If you have any questions, you can email me at the above website or at dan_anderson111852@yahoo.com. I will be happy to answer all inquiries.

Yours,
Dan Anderson, co-host
