First is Grandmaster Art Gonzalez and the Decuerdas - Diestro Fighting System who is one of the most secre- tive of the major Escrima lineages in Stockton, California and has laid low long enough and is ready to come out and share his knowledge with practitioners. Adam James the most senior student of Leo Fong discusses with the FMAdigest how it is to train with Leo Fong and how the Filipino martial arts has been intertwined with Leo Fongs art of Wei Kuen Do. Emmanuel Querubin discusses the types of Arnis de Mano, how this may bring about a strong basic concept to the Filipino Martial Arts Education for all practitioners to benefit in teaching new, present, and up- dating experienced students. Marc Lawrence took a trip to Hawaii to search and meet Filipino martial artists, what he has put togeth- er are practitioners that answered the call to present a little bit about their art. The passing of Grandmaster Ben Largusa and Master Christopher Ricketts just days apart from each other at the beginning of October is a great loss to the Filipino martial arts community. Zena Babao talks about some of the past experiences of Grandmaster Ben Largusa and the FMAdigest has taken some of the experi- ences of Master Christopher Ricketts as told to us. Also to mention it would be good to download Vol7 No1 and read the interview that David Foggie contributed to the FMAdigest, it is very interesting. Great Grandmaster Ernesto Presas passing away is another great name in the Filipino martial arts and will be missed by many. There were only a couple past events that were written up and passed along to the FMAdigest. However there were quite a few events that went on in September and October, but no one contributed any information on them. As you will notice there are no columns in this issue, since it was decided to put this issue out in such a short time. However visit the FMA Pulse (www.FMAPulse.com) and you will find the most up-to-date news and MyFMA.net (www.MyFMA.net) to see what everyone is talking about.

REYES The Komiks and Retelling the Lore of the Folk Komiks (comics), which emerged in the 1920s, have captured the Filipinos’ imagination, subsequently becoming materials for major motion pictures, yet marginalized in cultural studies. This article offers a diachronic analysis of the komiks between the 1930s and the 1970s to reveal the relationship between selected komiks characters and the folk tradition embodied in epics and legends. It also explains the komiks writers’ fascination with the remote past and their construction of heroes and heroines. In illuminating the worldview of writers and readers and the meanings generated when texts and readers interact, this article problematizes the supposition that popular culture is unalloyed escapism.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

    Kamusta, The past year at Berdugo Martial Arts has been fun filled and fast paced. We have had promotions, new students, seminars, demonstrations, tournaments and clinics. There has also been a revived sense of pride in our art and ourselves; the reason that Berdugo Martial Arts is the North American Headquarters for Kombatan Presas Style. First and foremost we would like to recognize the promotion of Junior Grandmaster Michael Bowers to full Grandmaster. Grandmaster Bowers has dedicated 19 years to the learning and teaching of Kombatan Presas Style with no substitution or modification to Great Grandmaster Presas’ vision. You can find out more on GM Bowers at http://www.berdugo.us/instructors/mike.htm and his perspective on Kombatan Presas style in the latest FMA Digest, http://www.berdugo.us/Docs/articles/Special- Edition_IPMAF.pdf. We would like to give a hand to all the other students who have passed belt promotions this year: Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Steven Lightfoot Phil Cavazos John Brainard Lorna Messinger James Latimer Roger Myers Level 5 Level 6 Level 9 Jason Evans Dylan McComiskey Alan Jackson Sam Mach Dr. Steven Jackson Ron Carlbom Level 10 Stephen Dietrich Lakan 2 Lakan 3 Sir Mike Millikin Guru Rick Brock Sir Jeff Schulden Sir Allan Stokes Sir Albert Tabino Sir Lona Vongthongthip As any family will tell you, we are happy to announce that we have had several new additions this year.
