Chief Lennie, I wish I could make it but I won't this year but maybe next one. Master Chief and I will plan to come together next year if not sooner, I'm going to make it a point to keep in touch with all the ohana. Its good to be re-connected to the ohana, after all these years and I look forward to seeing you again. Thanks Greg for the correction on the info about the"Showdown" mahalo. A hui ho and malama pono. IMUA PSDE !

[greg808]

Rob,

We passed out fliers at the last tournament you got the current flier.

[greg808]

I'll try to get a current flier scanned

[robertlk808]

I gave mine to a prospective student for Pedoy. A Co-worker has a son who is interested in Escrima. I think he will be checking out Derobio Escrima.

[greg808]

we don't train until Tuesday. I'll try grab a flier then......

[greg808]

does anyone know how to post a flier or pic??

[arnisador]

does anyone know how to post a flier or pic??

I've answered in PM. If you e-mail me a copy of the new flier (at adminteam at fmatalk.com) then I can edit it into the first post here as the correct event flier, if the original poster would like his post modified like that.

PACIFIC ISLAND
SHOWDOWN ! This weekend in Hawaii on Oahu in Waipahu on the Leeward side. ALOHA !!

[arnisador]

Derobio Style - Manolo Explains (http://www.khon2.com/news/local/10185541.html)



"One of the Lost Arts", as referred to by Great Grandmaster Braulio Pedoy, Derobio Escrima is an ancient bladed Escrima style that went underground in response to the Spanish occupation of the Philippines. A no-nonsense bladed art form, Derobio is structured with a bolo (machete) in one's power hand and the other empty. Today, Derobio Escrima has incorporated various styles of fighting within its system, keeping its foundation on its original bladed movements.

Derobio Escrima emphasizes disarming techniques and defensive behaviors rather than aggressive actions. The basis of Derobio is deflecting and controlling. The meeting of force with force is only used if unavoidable and is immediately translated into a more "passive" or fluid movement.

[junior eskrimador]

To all the Hawaii Eskrimadors, Arnisadors, Kalidors it was great fun. GM Ty organized a fun tournament and lots of respect from all. I am glad to meet the Hawaii FMA'ers, Greg808 from Pedoy, Robert808 from Dog Brothers, Ray from Bandalan Doce Pares, Instructors from Tobosa, and others. Lots of talent from young to old. Until next year FMA brothers and sister. Aloha I competed in the Light Heavy.

[StixMaster]

Great blog and hope that you can get some clips for us to see. I am glad that you enjoyed yourself. Do you know if there are any 'Ultimate Warrior' tourneys here in the mainland ?? Thanks again.

[robertlk808]

[speedwayblue75]

fun day! thanks for all who competed. I wish I could share my experience, but my broken foot only allowed me "volunteer/cheerleader" status that day.:mad: LOL (pedoy student limping around with a robocop boot onhis left foot) I did want to try out Sifu Marks massage chair though.

greg808,
eh you the big handsome guy who wear one 200lb vest who knock down the gimpy student with one solid steel pipe while drinking jamba juice? I think I saw you before.....:biggrinbo

[junior eskrimador]

Does anyone know how I could get a copy of the tournament? When they say no video they really mean no video. I wanted to get a copy before I leave the island but if not then have one ordered.

[robertlk808]

Ill send you a message on myspace. Rudy will need to edit the footage and it will be ready in about two months. I can record it on my pc when it airs or Ill give you Rudy's ph number.

Aloha.

[junior eskrimador]

Robertlk808, I can wait for you to record it.

[greg808]

I appologize for being late, but I did want to take the time to give a big MAHALO to Sifu Mark Behic from the Dog Brothers Hawaii Pack. His gift of Hilot helped me to compete in the the tournament. He was a true FMA brother. I will never forget what you did Sifu Mark! Rob please pass the message.....Salamat Po!!!!!!:sword2:

[robertlk808]

Will do Greg, take care bro.

[junior eskrimador]

Does anyone have a copy of last years tourney? It would be nice to see the players in action. By the way, some time in Dec, I believe Dec. 8 there will be a tourney in LA held by Master Felix, Pakamut.com (Best of the Best). It would be nice to see the same faces again on the mainland. I spoke to RHC Chaz when I was there and told him about it. Hopefully, there will be representation from Hawaii. Mahalo

[StixMaster]

Have the people who filmed the 'Showdown' shown anything on the tube in Hawaii ?? Many people here on the mainland are curious as to how and what is the 'Ultimate Warrior' type tourney, in otherwords they want to see footage of the tourney. Anymore pictures of matches ?? Mahalo

[robertlk808]

[arnisador]

Sept. 2008! You're planning well in advance.

[StixMaster]

Just trying to give people time to plan if they intend to go. Hawaii is far away and cost must be factored. So come to HAWAII for a tournament experience unlike no other !

[junior eskrimador]

Have anyone get a chance to watch the event on Olelo? Just check the forum and saw it finally aired. Wish I checked the forum earlier cause I missed it. Robert808, please tell me you recorded it I or the world really wanted to watch this event. Us Cali FMA'er (Hawaii in heart FMA'er in Cali) were waiting for this event.

Mahalo bro.

[robertlk808]

I did record but you can contact the producer at the following:
rocarate@yahoo.com that way you can get the DVDs direct from the source.

The show is in 3 parts, P2 aired tonight, I believe the 3rd part televises on the 25th.

[junior eskrimador]

Thanks, I'll contact him. I contacted the station for a copy too but I figure this way would be faster, youtube. Would you have the times when its going to air tonight.

[robertlk808]

Ill probably put it on youtube but at least this way you'll have your very own copy and the producer deserves it for his time and effort.

The next showing will be March 25 at 1930 HST.

Episode I (not to be confused with Star Wars) was carrenza
Episode II was padded stick
I believe III will be adult padded stick, live stick and then full contact live stick.

[junior eskrimador]

Mahalo Robertk808. Got info back from the producer and I'll be sending my fees for a copy of the dvd. True about having my own copy and the producer getting credit for his work. I just been waiting for a long time to watch our performance.

Looks like this years event will be big. Players from the Philippines will be showing up. Hopefully players from the mainland will support the tourney too. There is a Stockton tourney (ESKCOA Tournament, June 28th, 2008) coming up, planning to support it. Also, another tourney in Sacramento should be happening couple of months later. When more info is avail. I'll put a post on the tournament section.

[StixMaster]

Come to HAWAII for a truly Unique Stickfighting Experience !
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd263/Nokaoimaui/200820poster.jpg Plenty of time to plan for that unique martial arts vacation in Hawaii,USA ! ALOHA http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd263/Nokaoimaui/hjgjhkgfqg0.jpg

[arnisador]

[junior eskrimador]

Finally got to watch Pacific Showdown II on the Olelo tv via web parts 1 and 3. Going to watch part 2 tonight @ 1030 pm (PST) I'm still getting the DVD. Good fights and showmanship from all players and schools. Aloha to all schools and players of Pacific Showdown 2, 2007.

[greg808]
