Pambuan Arnis

MY FIRST INTRODUCTION INTO THE MARTIAL ARTS WAS IN AUGUST OF 1989 IN NEW YORK, WHEN MY SON ALSHUN WANTED TO STUDY SAME, WE ENROLLED IN GRAND MASTER KWANG KEE'S TANG SOO DO WITH INSTRUCTOR DANNY SEGUERRA AND WENT UP TO 3rd GUP RED BELT.

AFTER MOVING TO ORLANDO, FL. IN JULY 1992 I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MY WIFE FANNIE INTRODUCE ME TO ONE OF HER CO-WORKERS WARD PARKER NEPHEW OF GRAND MASTER ED PARKER AND HE INTRODUCED ME TO INSTRUCTOR/KUYA JOHN D. BAIN IN MAY 1993 TANG SOO KARATE ACADEMY, WHERE I MOVED UP IN RANK TO 1st DAN BLACK BELT IN JANUARY 1994.

MR. BAIN INTRODUCED ME TO AMA GURO RAFFY PAMBUAN IN AUGUST 1993 AND THAT WAS MY FIRST INTRODUCTION IN THE FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS WHEN AMA GURO SHOWED THE CLASS SOME OF HIS FAMILY SYSTEM'S TECHNIQUES AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS ART FROM THAT DAY ON.

AMA GURO RAFFY PAMBUAN BROUGHT ME TO TRAIN WITH HIM AND IN SEPTEMBER 1994. I LOVED TRAINING IN THE PAMBUAN FAMILY SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE FLOWING EASE OF THE SYSTEM IT WAS EASY FOR ME TO ADAPT BECAUSE OF AN INJURY TO MY RIGHT KNEE IT WAS LESS WEAR AND TEAR ON ME THAN THE TANG SOO DO.

I WAS PROMOTED TO GURO ISA RANK IN MAY 1997 AND UP TO THE PRESENT I AM STILL WORKING WITH AMA GURO ON SATURDAYS TO FURTHER MY STUDIES AND HELP TRAIN THE STUDENTS THAT COME TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED GURO AND ADVANCED STUDENTS CLASSES.

I WAS PROMOTED TO 2nd DAN, FEBRUARY 2004, IN the SPIRIT WARRIOR SYSTEM Founded BY MAESTRO GURO JOHN BAIN and duly commissioned by AMA GURO RAFFY PAMBUAN.
