Thunderbolt Arnis Martial Arts Association – HONGKONG
October 13, 2008 by Guro Mel Balberde
In my life, I have never dreamed that I could go to the beautiful places in HONGKONG because of Eskrima. Then one day the founder and leader of the Thunderbolt Arnis Martial Arts Association Guru Eman Pamulag approached me after our Arnis martial arts exhibition in SM city Iloilo to tell that she will sponsor me to go to HK to help her in sharpening the Eskrima skills of her students there.
When I arrived in HK, I was cordially welcomed by some of the Philippine heroines- the Pinay overseas Filipino workers who are working in HK for several years already. Their newly organized martial arts group called Thunderbolt Arnis Martial Arts association is now affiliated to CASASAI. As a founder and president of CASASAI, I was inspired by their dedication and commitment to practice the Filipino martial arts. In the midst of the busy life style in HK, they still find time to gather together to fellowship with one another and practice the exotic Filipino Martial Arts called Eskrima or Arnis. It became part of their lifestyle to gather from time to time to practice Arnis. For them, practicing martial arts is a good form of exercise as well as to be able to learn self-defense techniques and it was a great honor and privilege of having the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills in Arnis to them. I am looking forward to be there again soon.
