Ich bekam gerade folgende Email:
"I regret to inform all of you that Grandmaster Jose G. Mena (Doblete Rapelon) passed away yesterday. I just received an email from the Philippines today
bearing the terrible news.
Grandmaster Mena was the very first Arnis teacher to open a school in Manila (Tondo). He taught his family style from Ilo-Ilo that was handed down in his family
for over three generations. He made many additions to the style based on his own experience. He was a legendary fighter, and friend to many Arnis legends
such as Antonio Illustrisimo, Floro Villabrille, Felicisimo Dizon. He was also one of Angel Cabales' teachers.
Please offer a prayer for him and his family.
