This past weekend in Austin, Texas was truly unforgettable. I had the opportunity to teach a Filipino Martial Arts seminar to some incredibly talented martial artists, compete alongside my students Jhomar and Derwinβ which brought me so much joy β and together we were able to bring home 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals, along with a championship ring.
But the most memorable moment for me was being nominated for FMA Instructor of the Year by a legend and longtime practitioner, Master Erik Buenaflor To be recognized alongside so many respected FMA practitioners from across the United States was already an honor in itself. In the end, the board of the United Martial Arts Hall of Fame chose to induct me into UMAHOF, and I am truly humbled and grateful for this recognition.
As Iβve always promised, I will continue spreading the art that I truly love around the world while continuing to compete, grow, and learn alongside my students and authentic Filipino Martial Arts practitioners.
This award is not just for me β it belongs to everyone who stood beside me and believed in me and my craft. To my wife Aileen and our kids, thank you for your endless love and support. To all the students and families at Mac Martial Arts, thank you for trusting me and being part of this journey. And of course, thank you to Datu Shishir Inocalla and the Modern Arnis family for guiding, supporting, and mentoring me throughout my FMA journey.
This recognition is both a reminder and a dedication for me to continue growing Filipino Martial Arts and helping build a stronger FMA community for future generations.

Excited to bring my students Der Viray and Jhomar Comia to Texas for this weekend's FMA tournament!
We've been training so hard, and I'm really proud of their progress and dedication. It's going to be an amazing experience for everyone, and I can't wait to see them showcase their hard work.
We're going to give it our best shot and make the most of this incredible opportunity.
Thank you for all your support as we head out there!
Let's do this!
