MODERN ARNIS REMY P. PRESAS INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION

I had the pleasure to meet Ray Dianoldo back in 2000. He was a guest instructor with the Professor at a Modern Arnis Seminar in Atlanta Georgia where I was attending a training session with the company that I was employed with at the time.

I spent a good bit of time training with Ray and he is impressive to say the least.

One sad note though at this seminar the Professor, after the session asked me if I had anything for a headache. It was apperant that he was not feeling well and was complaining of a migraine. However, during the seminar, you would not have guessed that he did that entire seminar in pain. He asked me, since I was from the Seattle area and that his next seminar was in my area if I could pack some of his tapes and t-shirts into my suitcase and help lighten the load.

We met again in Seattle and he was then feeling great and did an amazing seminar.

That was the last time I ever had the pleasure of training with him.
