I've seen comments that Lito Concepcion, Rob Castro, Ric Manglinong and Tim Hartman were promoted to Grandmaster status. Who else was there? Any other promotions?

Any other pics besides Tims?

A flyer that I found and posted states that both Lito Concepcion & Robert Castro were personally promoted to 9th Dan by GGM Ernesto Presas at the camp and that the Eskabo Daan logo with other Eskabo Daan memorabilia were put into the FMA Museum . Thanx for the help!

StixMaster the camp this year was really interesting to say the least.

Due to the hall of fame there was a lot of senior IPMAF players in attendance so made the event that extra bit more special.

Tim Hartman came to camp for the first time as well and it was great to meet, train and speak with him.

Some of the fight scenes from the movie being shot at camp were pretty spectacular to watch first hand so hopefully when translated to cinema they still hold. Johan Skalberg and Master Jan Presas were awesome.

It was the biggest attended camp in IPMAF history so that can only be good for the organisation.

We also did do a bit of training as well :) haha

Cheers,

Johnny.

Mr. Hartman told us about the camp and said it was great! He also told us a bit about the movie, which is very exciting.

Well I am also excited to see how the movie came out .. had the honour of doing a fight scene with Grand Master where he killed me ever so nicely... Also did another fight scene with Master Oliver Garduce.. So I hope it all comes out well.

Is there a name of the movie? A release date?

Is there a name of the movie? A release date?

I think it may be intended for direct-to-video release.

Correct it will go straight to DVD the intention is to hopefully show this movie around and hopefully gain some interest to make a bigger budget movie which would than be made for cinema release in the Philippines (and internationally if succesful).

There are some very good fight scenes in the movie.. at least they looked good when filming and on the play back so hopefully it sparks some interest and financial backing from external sources.

I think watching the movie on DVD will be the highlight of the next camp in the Philippines.

I hope the DVD is available over here too! Thanks to the Internet, I'm expecting it will be.

You should be able to get it through IPMAF dont know i it will be distributed through anyone else..
