Maestro Michael D’Asaro<\/a><\/p>\n

My first introduction to Martial Arts was Sabre fencing while attending San Jose State University in the early 1980’s. I had the good fortune to take foil and then two semesters of Sabre from Maestro Michael D’Asaro. I enjoyed Sabre fencing a great deal and in my final years at San Jose State while living in Palo Alto I would fence once a week at Stanford in Roble Hall where their team hosted an open fencing night.<\/p>\n

Taekwondo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I studied WTF Style Taekwondo under Tom Marendi attaining the rank of Second Dan or Second Degree Blackbelt. The World Taekwondo Federation<\/a> is the International Federation governing body for the sport of Taekwondo and is a member of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations.<\/p>\n

Inayan Eskrima<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eskrima\u00a0 is the umbrella term for the traditional martial arts of the Philippines, which emphasize weapon-based fighting with sticks, knives and other bladed weapons, and various improvised weapons. It also includes hand-to-hand combat and weapon disarming techniques. After attending several seminars from various instructors I began training with the Inayan School of Eskrima<\/a>. Founded by Suro Mike Inay<\/a> who trained under Angel Cabales<\/a> and Max Sarmiento<\/a>.\u00a0 I attained first rank in the Inayan System under the training of Guro Corey Hanosh<\/a>. Suro Mike Inay passed away in 2000 and his teachings are carried on now by several of his senior students including Jon Ward<\/a>, Emanuel Hart<\/a>, Steve Klement<\/a>, and his son Jason Inay<\/a>.<\/p>\n
