[Datu Dieter]

Hello Everybody,

I would like to inform you abot THE Modern Arnis and FMA event in 2006.

From the 11th to the 21st ofd July 2006 there will be the the “Great homecoming for the FMA”. The fiollowing events will take place:

A) The Professor Remy Presas Memorial Camp,
B) The 3rd FMA Festival and
C) The FMA Gala night.

The first two will be held at Clark Field, Pampanga, Philippines, the FMA Gala Night will be held in Manila, Philippines.

A, the Professor Remy Presas Memorial Camp
will be held from the 11th through to the 14th of July 2006. All mayor Modern Arnis Grandmasters and Masters of the Philippines will be there to teach. Also many international “big names” of Modern Arnis will be asked to participate and will hopefully be there.
This will NOT be an event of ONE organisation. It will be organized by the IMAFP in the Philippines, but ALL Modern Arnis groups worldwide will be invited.

B, the 3rd FMA Festival
will be held from the 17th to the 20th of July 2006. Alfred Plath and I have organized the first two FMA Festivals in 2002 and 2004 in Germany, which were with 450 and 600 participants highly successful.
Now the Philippines have taken the responsibility to organize the 3rd FMA festival in the Philippines. It is a grand come together of many different FMA styles.
Many filipino Grandmasters and Masters will be there to teach their special style.

C, the FMA Gala night
will be held at the 21st of July in Manila.
There will be a gala dinner, exhibitions and much more.

For more information about these events, you can visit the festival website:

If you have questions you can ask them here or write to

fmasecretariat@fmafestival.com

The earlier you register, the cheaper it gets.

This is a great chance to train in the country of origin within an organized setting.

I hope to see many different countries and members from all different Modern Arnis and other FMA groups participate in this big event in the Philippines.


Best regards from Germany
