Guys Hobby Photos - Lapunti Arnis
Lapunti Arnis de Abanico - Guy Starts Out
First Lesson - Guys House
Lesson 1 - proper bowing, on guard, arco strike..........and next
week remember to take ibuprofen before training!
Before leaving on home assignment at the end of 2002, Guy and his good friend
Manny Dacanay make a pact to take up the Filipino Martial Art of Arnis. While
Guy is gone Manny gets in touch with Master Chris, the head of Lapunti Arnis de
Abanico International for Luzon. Master Chris assigns Lakan Guro Mike to be
the instructor for Manny and Guy.
Manny and Guy at lesson 1. Plenty of determination and plenty
of spare tire, but no proper uniform shirts to go with the black
pants. Guro Mike must have had doubts.
There is hope after all as Guy and Manny train and advance
A year later, Guy and Manny in uniform and at the Filinvest East
Clubhouse venue.
