I carry a rolled-up fan which I used both for the hot weather and defending myself. People asks me why a former grunt would carry such a girly thing until they found out what I did to a snatcher in downtown Manila using that same fan.
Last time I heard, Kali is being taught in LA by the Caņete brothers (or was it by Grandmaster Presas?). Any input on that? I'll be flying to Tampa maybe next month for some R & R. I'll be sure to look you up.
