Jopet Laraya began his martial arts training in the early 1950's, in the Philippines, at the age of 7. Growing up in the provinces of Leyte, Ilocos Norte, and Batangas (birthplace of the Balisong), he was exposed to the various styles of Philippine stickfighting including the Lapunti Arnis de
Abanico system of the Caburnay family and most extensively in the Pronus-Supinus Cadena De Mano system of Master Johnny Chiuten. As well he has trained in many different styles of Chinese Kung Fu and was the public relations officer of the Jing Mo Kung Fu club of Toronto, headed by Master
James Lore.

The seminar will be held on the weekend of September 27th and 28th of 2008, and will be in downtown Toronto at TKMT (Toronto Kickboxing & Muay Thai (TKMT) Academy Inc.). Cost for the weekend is only $125.00 with a $25 deposit received by September 22nd, or $75 per day at the door. The seminar times will be Saturday from 3:30 pm to 8:30 pm and Sunday from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Students are expected to arrive 30 minutes early so that they are registered, changed, and on the mats ready to start on time. On both days there will be a break at the half-way point.

TKMT is a fully matted gym so attendees are requested to wear only mat friendly shoes (wrestling) or bare feet along with their workout clothes. You should also bring with you sticks and other personal training gear.
