Subject: Mr. Knuettel
To avoid any misunderstanding I want you to know that I did not send
any Email to Mr. Dieter Knuettel. I received an Email from a Modern
Arnis practioner in Bielefeld (a town in Germany far away from Mr.
Knuettel). I answerd his mail on may 9 with some comments about the
information published on the Modern Arnis Webpage. Mr. Dieter
Knuettel somehow got and translated my Email. He then published the
translation on the eskrima digest without asking me. Im not a member
of the eskrima digest and a friend of mine informed me about the
dicussion about my Email in the eskrima digest.
Since my mail was not intended for a public discussion forum, I will
need to add some Information.
I visited Eskrimador Arnolfo Mongcal in 1991 and in 1999 near Cagayan
de Orocity in Mindanao. My Eskrima Teacher Eskrimador Ciriaco "Cacoy"
Canete gave me the chance to meet Eskrimador Arnolfo Mongcal. With the
permission of my Teacher I visited and I trained under Eskrimador
Arnolfo Mongcal. Without Cacoy's help, Mr. Mongcal would not have
taught a stranger.
This is what Eskrimador Arnolfo Mongcal told me during our meeting:
- - I was teaching Remy Presas only because he was a relative of my wifes
family.
- - I was teaching Remy for about six months when he was still a teenager.
- - I never received any recognition from Remy.
- - I never received any Peso from Remy.
- - I was the only Eskrimador who was teaching Remy Presas.
- - Remy Presas is a Traitor.
Mongcal felt Presas had betrayed his family and his Eskrima.
Eskrimador Ciriaco Cacoy Canete and all his sons know that Mr. Mongcal was
the only Eskrima Teacher of Remy Presas.
If you believe this information is inccorect than please let me know:
Where do you get your information from ?
Do you have facts from independant sources, other than what Mr. Presas
and his students say.
If your only sources are the black belt magazine and the books from Mr.
Presas than you should not believe everything without a critical view."
Dieser Text wurde im Mai 2001 im Eskrima Digest veröffentlicht.
Antworten oder Reaktionen darauf gab es keine.
Remy Presas war nicht mehr und nicht weniger als ein Hochstapler.
Wer in Deutschland Diplom Sportlehrer ist oder ein Studium bzw. eine Berufsausbildung abgeschlossen hat,
sollte eigentlich wissen, dass nicht "jeder" Schlafanzug-Träger ein Professor ist.
