Under the expert guidance of GM Michael McFarland our Saturday class explored
and worked on Kata movement, Palis Palis, Sinawali with stick and empty hands, locks with baiting, throws, and transitions, all while flowing. Could life be any better!

Thank you, everyone, for an amazing day of training. It was an honor to host the Senkotiros seminar with Senior Grandmaster Max M. Pallen and Grandmaster East Coast Michael McFarland . It was truly special to see our community come together, from old friends to new students.

Your commitment is humbling. Thank you to everyone who made the journey, near or far, to dedicate your Sunday to training and growth. Your effort and spirit were on full display, and it was a privilege to train alongside each and every one of you.

Congratulations to our newly promoted practitioners! Your promotions are a testament to your dedication and skill: Tuhon Pete Claudio and Tuhon Scott McKinsey to Lakan Anim(6th), Punong G**o Ira Powers to Lakan Lima(5th), and Mataas Na G**o Priscilla Renee to Lakan Tatlo(3rd).

A final, heartfelt 'salamat po' (thank you) to Senior Grandmaster Max Pallen and Grandmaster East Coast Michael McFarland. Your years of knowledge have enriched our lives and our art.

This is just the beginning. We hope this seminar has inspired you to continue your path. We look forward to seeing you all at the next event!"
