Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.

My friend has gone fishing! I will miss him!

It is with profound sadness that we inform you that our beloved Grandmaster, Sifu Jack Shamburger, has passed away.

Born into a martial arts family, Sifu developed his skills under the watchful eyes of numerous masters, served his country as a US Marine, and honed his craft through years of bodyguard work, martial tournaments, and training.

His passion and intensity for martial arts was balanced by his authenticity and the kindness he showed his students. A stern taskmaster with a gentle touch, Sifu embodied the dual nature of the martial arts, marrying the grace of movement with the ferocity of intent.

Though he is no longer with us, Sifu leaves a legacy that both warms his Ohana and bolsters their resolve. His will continues on to forever and a day. Still here, still strong.

Spirit Warrior Values - February: Love (Charity & Devotion)
OT: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Lovethe Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

I want to thank the crew from Victory Church for coming to my house and allowing me to share what little bit I know about martial arts and sciences. It felt so good to share with you all. I hope to see everyone next Sunday. God bless you and yours and enjoy your week!

The wife and I went to Luzon for 6 days. Two days in Manila with side trips to visit some of her family. Then to Sta. Cruz, Laguna to visit my G**o, Ama G**o Raffy Pambuan while he was visiting family. He is always a gracious host. We went shopping, that was for my wife. We visited the house that he was born in and grew up in. We visited his mother and father’s gravesite. We were introduced to GM Doy Baldemor, probably the last of his generation, in Paete. That is also the hometown of my good friend G*t Puno Abundio Baet. I was able to introduce Bob Rodriguez to Ama G**o on messenger. I also was able to introduce Roann Calatin and Redentor Volpane to him personally and we trained until midnight. I met them here in Palawan at a big tournament. I also had some one on one training that I always hold deep in my heart. I cannot express my gratitude for Ama G**o Raffy Pambuan enough for all he has done for me. I can never repay him for changing my life in so many ways. But that’s a story for another time! God bless everyone that I was in contact with. Thank you for your time…
