Hi Guys, I met GM Ben Lema in 1992, and he seemed like a very nice man with great skill, so be proud of your art, and train hard so as to make the man real proud, OK!

Take care everyone.
Salamat Po!

[Shaun]

Thanks Master Vince for your words of encouragement.
Yes,Mang Ben was a very,very nice person and a real gentleman and as you say he had great skill.
If Mang Ben saw that you were a serious student of the Filipino martial arts he would generously share his skill and knowledge.
We train to honor his memory.

[Batongbuhay]

[Pat OMalley]

I am sure it will be a fantastic event best of luck.

We will need to work something out together as well Shaun.:)

Also send the details to Russ Edwards (the BCKEAI Web Designer) and get him to put it up on the British Council web site. E-mail them to me too and I will pop it up on my web site and forum also Bro.

Thanks Jon for spreading the word about the seminar.
I will see you in Manila before then anyway.Looking forward to some Sunday school sessions.
Duncan(my student)is training really hard,he thinks you guys are going to rough him up,ha ,ha,.I do not know where he got that idea,he,he.
Pat thanks also for helping out with the sticky on the Rapid Arnis forum(with regards to the seminar)and also about telling Russ.
Perhaps Jon, you and Pat can reassure Duncan that he will get nothing but the best treatment in Manila......

Hi Shaun,

Probably the worst thing that Duncan will ever experience here with the guys is eating balut, haha!

[Shaun]

Which so as not to offend anyone Tom he will have to try.Siempre naman.

I heard Ate Patty will reward Duncan with a masters rank if he consumes 5 baluts, hehe! Just kidding Shaun

[Carol]

He might deserve a Master's rank if he's tough enough to eat 5 balut... :D :D

[citom]

Susmariosep! Yun lang ba ang kailangan? Sige, kakain ako ng anim na balut sa dalawang minuto para ma-promote sa master! Sabay lagok ng Cerveza Negra! :D
(Trans: Jesus, Mary, Joseph! Is that all that's needed? Okay, I'll eat 6 balut in 30 seconds to get promoted to master! And gulp down Cerveza Negra at the same time!)

By the way, I loved eating balut as a kid (still do!). Too bad there's no balut here in the UK...

I am sure Supremo or Citom will explain to you Christian the delights of those wonderful eggs packed with protein.
The sounds of the Philippines, the street vendors.Homesick na ako.

In Buffalo we use hot wings and beer as the test instead!

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut):

A Balut (Trứng vịt lộn or Hột vịt lộn in Vietnamese, Pong tea khon in Cambodian) is a fertilized duck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck)(or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo) inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. They are considered delicacies of Asia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia) and especially the Philippines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines), Cambodia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodia), and Vietnam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam). Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodisiac) and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. They are often served with beer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer). The Filipino (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_language) and Malay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_language) word balut(balot) roughly translates to mean "wrapped".Pictures (warning! not for the faint of heart!)

Best wishes on your seminar, Shaun! Hopefully I'll have a chance to go to Cambridgeshire and train with you soon... or are you going to be in the South-West sometime in the near future?

Perhaps Jon, you and Pat can reassure Duncan that he will get nothing but the best treatment in Manila......Now you would not want us to lie to the poor sole would you, now we all know he is going to get his ass handed to him on a plate:EvilGrin: And I can eat 6+ Balut no problem as long as I get 6+ San Migs to wash it down.

I ate Balut twice and I got 2 kids:angel:

Best regards

Pat

[Supremo]

I know someday these baluts will save my life, if somebody challenges me to a duel I would challenge him to a balut eating contest, hehe!

[Carol]

Well..,I've eaten raw quail egg atop tobiko (flying fish roe) sushi...maybe one of these days I'lll get the courage to try balut. :D

Oh you should Karol, me and the LSAI guys will teach you the proper way to eat balut, you see there are 13 basic ways to open a balut and the 12 methods of eating it, hehe!

[Christian]

So, the seminar is over and ... what shall I say? It was just great. Thank you very much Shaun and Glenn for everything.

Thanks to Christian for holding the seminar.Glenn and I had a great time.
Thanks to all you guys for coming along.Everyone worked really hard,which the seminar made particularly enjoyable for both Glenn and myself.

There may be another seminar in Frankfurt over the last weeekend in July.
Watch these spaces and we will let you know as soon as possible.

[GLENNLOBO]

Hi Glenn,

I am very confident that we will repeat that seminar, it was great to have you and Shaun here.

I will be in England in July - I hope we will see us there.

Regards
Christian

[GLENNLOBO]

if you let me know the dates i'll make sure i'm free.(you know my situation) you are welcome to come and train with me while youre over.july the weather is better than now.. dont fancy training outside with the wind blowing off the north sea.. i train indoors!!!

[Christian]

It will probably be 19th and 20th of July. I guess Shaun will call you anyway to arrange a meeting, but maybe we shouldn´t bore the public with this and organize this via PN or e-mail :-)

Regards
Christian
