WSEF Sticks4Kids Program , Vacaville,CA

WSEF Sticks4Kids Program

The 'World Serrada Escrima Federation' has for over (35) plus years trained & continues to train children within the fine art of "D/C Serrada Escrima". As the *Honorary Grand Master Guru* of the {WSEF} GM *D* has always said that "In order to lead other's, training begins within one' own self first, then family, and then into the vast outer communities of the world.
Thus is why the "World Serrada Escrima Federation" was formulated.
 
In the WSEF Sticks4Kids program we start teaching the kids safety, respect and discipline in training, self confidence & self respect , footwork and balance, how to see and evade an attack, not what to think but how to think in self defense situations and scenarios.
This program has been formulated to provide the young student the tools in Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) to utilize in his or her self - defense in real life incidents.
We train the kids for FMA tournaments (USFMAF) where they get to try out and develop skills that they have learned in class. What they learn in class or in tournaments can be used for self - defense too. What they learn today they can use today.

GM *D* Responds to "Go with the Flow"


GM *D* Responds to “Go With The Flow”
Decension Within The Serrada Escrima Ranks
Part Two
-------------------------------------------------------
First the WSEF would like to thank all of those that took well concerned notes regarding GM *D*s article titled
"Go With The Flow"
-----------------------------
notable Grand Master's such as Guru's Darren Tibon, the co-founder of "Angel's Disciples", GM Ron Saturno, GM Rogers; founder of "African American Shadow Boxing" SM WSEF Turkey Representative Bilal Erbatan, WSEF Senior Master Instructor Mike Schwarz, WSEF Grand Master T. Alo, and the many other's that truly care about the ongoing propagation of the illustrious art form that we all cherish, and love "SERRADA ESCRIMA".

States GM *D* "Many of those who were my Serrada Escrima contemporaries back in 1984, were not fully aware of the many conversations, and heartfelt private meetings that took place between SGM Angel Cabales, and myself in Stockton, California. Therefore! I think that it is now the proper time to set the records straight once and for all regarding why SGM Angel Cabales and I worked so closely together in order to promote his beloved art. My allegiance to SGM Angel Cabales is due to the fact that he bailed me out of a FMA promotional situation, that could have spelled total disaster for me, and the end results could've permanently ended my career as a bonafide martial arts promoter, and as a bonafide martial artist as well.

In early 1984, I put together for the third time a major Filipino Martial Arts Seminar featuring at that time 'Kali/Jeet Kune Do' legend Guro Dan Inosanto. I had worked extremely hard in order to promote this particular special FMA function on behalf of Guro Inosanto, my Bay Area FMA students, and on behalf of all of those who are great fans of Guro Dan Inosanto. I had contacted & invited several other martial arts dignitaries from all around the Bay Area such as, the late Professor Al Novak, the late Professor Wally Jay, GM Bill Tolentino, Praying Mantis extraordinaire Brendan Lai, Wu Shing Tai Chi Chuan Professor John K. Wong, Professor's Gilbert Tenio & John Eliab, along with several other's, whom all were very much looking forward to meeting, and experiencing the art & the persona, FMA/Jeet Kune Do stylist of Guro Dan Inosanto.

Unfortunately, around three days prior to this rare prospective event was to take place, I received a telephone call from one of Guro Dan Inosanto's assistant instructor's Guro Cass Magda, explaining to me that Guro Inosanto was sick in Chicago, and had been admitted to a hospital, and therefore, he could not attend my FMA promotion in California as he had previously agreed upon. Additionally! Guro Cass Magda explained
to me that Guro Inosanto had instructed him to stand in his place on his behalf. I told Guro Cass Magda that all of the people who were expecting Guro Inosanto's appearance would be sadly disappointed if he did not show up for his seminar. What was even worse for me, was the fact that if Guro Dan Inosanto didn't show up, I would be considered a fraud, charletan, and a thief, as I had already collected several pre reservation fees in advance for the participation in this seminar.

As I didn't choose Guro Cass Magda as a replacement on behalf of Guro Inosanto, I knew that I was definitely in a bad quagmire. Not knowing what to do, I began looking through the 'Old Bible Testament', and I kept coming across the names of different Angels. And then it dawned upon me that there was a possible way in order for me to continue the Dan Inosanto FMA promotion.

As I had promoted GM Rene Latosa in a special martial arts demonstration/seminar before back in 1983, I remembered that he had recommended me to go straight to the "Father of Escrima in America" the legendary SGM Angel Cabales. GM Latosa had informed me at that time that SGM Angel Cabales was the primary Escrima instructor of Guro Dan Inosanto, and if I really wanted to master, and promote the art of FMA, I should go and train directly under him.

So I phoned GM Rene Latosa, and out of protocol I offered him first to replace Guro Dan Inosanto at my FMA seminar. GM Latosa said that he would be more than happy to take over the workshop, but unfortunately he was already scheduled to do a seminar on the very same day as my event. So what GM Latosa did instead; was he furnished me with three of Stockton, California's most popular Escrima Manongs, GM Leo Giron, Professor Gilbert Tenio, and the immaculate SGM Angel Cabales. As I didn't have much time left before my event was to take place, I immediately contacted all three of the Manongs mentioned as soon as possible.

Out of the three, two of the Manongs agreed to show up, Professor Gilbert Tenio, along with his assistant instructor Professor John Eliab, and SGM Angel Cabales. After explaining to SGM Angel Cabales why I was calling upon his services, he had this to say to me "Although I don't know you personally, because I am the Escrima teacher of Guro Dan Inosanto, and because I am the one responsible for the emergence of Escrima in America, I have an obligation to stand in for Danny in order to ensure that your seminar, and Filipino martial arts is represented in the right way". I was so impressed at SGM Angel Cabales''  humble, and sincere attitude, that I knew instantly that he was the 'Master Teacher' that I had always been searching for.

Well in a nutshell! the seminar with SGM Angel Cabales was a total success, and it attracted not only over one hundred attendees & special guest stars, it also attracted many major news journalists/reporters, and  various television media's to the event as well. Shortly after the success of the Angel Cabales workshop, Guro Cass Magda in conjunction with his mentor Guro Dan Inosanto had published in the 1985 “Official Karate Magazine” edition, the “Sound Off”article that was previously posted, black balling me as not being a genuine FMA Guru, nor a bonafide martial arts promoter as well.

This event was not only an historical event, but it also marked the beginnings of my personal private training for the next seven years under one of the most legendary Escrimador stick/knife fighter's that has ever lived, SGM Angel Cabales. My special arrangement with SGM Angel Cabales was based upon the fact that because he had saved me from what seemed to be a perilous ending, I in turn would help him to fulfill one of his biggest dreams; by thoroughly learning & spreading his martial art form known as, 'Serrada Escrima' all over the world.

This was my special agreement & solemn promise to SGM Angel Cabales. I once told SGM Angel Cabales prior to his death, that even though he might not be physically in the flesh, we would always be partners no matter what. This is why the 'WSEF' logo depicts both myself & SGM Angel Cabales training together.

As both myself, and SGM Angel Cabales were very much aware of the many rival sinister forces around us that were not happy about our partnership, and expansionism, we devised a 'master plan' in order for me to take the art of Serrada Escrima into fertile soil overseas. Thus after a long periodof many years of going in and out of Germany, the
"World Serrada Escrima Federation" was born.

It is imperative that all of my Serrada Escrima Brother's & Sister's know that I have on a consistent non stop basis continued to promote the art of Serrada Escrima all over the world. I have to the best of my capabilities continued to share with all of those who are, & were SGM Angel Cabales' students the fruits of all of my success & labor as well.

Because SGM Angel Cabales loved, and respected all of his students, I automatically love & respect them also, but not when certain of his students engage in the very sinister acts that other's have engaged in order to defame me for the purpose of shutting the ongoing movement of Serrada Escrima down.

The {1985 'Official Karate Magazine' Sound Off } article was republished in order to demonstrate to the world of Serrada Escrima practitioners that I am not the nemesis, nor am I the enemy regarding the promotion of SGM Angel Cabales' art form, and it's various Grand Master's, Master's, and it's many aficionados in any shape, way or form.

But their are those certain influential personalities that have gone way above the call of duty in the U.S.A., & abroad in order to assassinate my character, and all of my efforts on behalf of the "Cabales Serrada System of Escrima" in order to specifically propagate their own FMA enterprises.

The following article was translated from a now defunct 1996 German Martial Arts Magazine titled: "KICK SIDER"  this news release represents another prime example of how a concerted, and well organized character assassination plot can follow one outside one' own country.

This is the English translation to the German magazine story
Escrima-Master A. Davis Arrested

He dedicated his whole life to martial arts, but then he fell in love. U.S. American Anthony Davis became known in Germany through his numerous Serrada Escrima seminars. He's been arrested by authorities of justice at upon his last visit in Berlin. They arrested him because he killed a business man of Berlin, and injured his wife, in which he had a serious love affair with. A delay of several years in the prison of Moabit or Tegal is guaranteed. What does his wife and children will say?


This is the Berlin, German newspaper that released the actual article of the culprit of this henious crime

This is the English translation of this same particular German article

Berlin, 7 May 1998 * PAGE 5
Judgement of First Instance overturned by Federal Court
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------
'0'I killed Millionär / The Tater is now free?

FRITZ GOTZ
I'm Fraher, that this man is punished ... "The first observatory of nurse Simone B. (30), after her ex-fiance, Anthony D. (35) for murder to life-long crack was different. That was a year ago . living through now must witness Simone as the whole horror of the process begins again. Since yesterday, the violent death of the O1-Millionär Gerhard Malicha (t 69) re-negotiated. the bed position injured man was on August 26, 1995 been slain in his bed. Simone B. survived, and lived after months in a coma, she suffered severe brain, and head injury. Today, she is severely disabled, due to the course of events...the nurse had thrown the American from their home, out of anger, and wounded pride came Anthony D. to the Dahlem Villa. For one-he knew that Simone B. was working there. With a baseball bat he hit, and then beat on Simone B...the Uber life chance was low. Malicha have heard something, go Maybe tell step calls "Anthony, no." So he had to die as the sole witness. Now the Court wants the federal court demanded in the new process of separation, to investigate the reason for special attention.
And even in the first trial refuted the alibi of the Amerikner. The defense wants to call a second physician as an expert witness. The trial continues on Tuesday with the testimony of criminalists. They were at the bloody crime scene. The verdict is expected for early September.

After a considerable amount of serious complaining & strong threats to take affirmative legal action against the Executive Editor /Michael Deubner of “KICK SIDER MAGAZINE”

the magazine editor finally did reluctantly print a small retraction. However! by this time, major damage to GM *D*s martial arts reputation in Germany, & in other parts of Europe had already been well saturated into the minds of many of GM *D*s Serrada Escrima students & fans. Michael Deubner never did explaine why he allowed this particualar story to go forward without contacting GM *D* , even though he possessed all of GM *D*s national & international contact information. Michael Deubner never revealed to GM *D* who his informant was that passed this very damaging & inflamatory information over to him either.

The following is the 'KICK SIDER MAGAZINE' attempted retraction

Rectification
--------------------
Escrima master mistaken for murder

In our last issue, we report that should have been arrested for murder in Berlin, Anthony Davis. In fact, a colored man took AUTHORITIES by that name by the judiciary in custody have been consider writing told the local press - but it is not there at the Escrima masters, whose photo we have published alongside the article, but another person in is not related to the May. We hereby formally apologize to Mr. Davis and our readers for this tragic mistake. Earlier, self-training partners have understood the messages of the Berlin daily newspapers (with photo) as confirming the person so that there was no reason to doubt the identity. We deeply regret the incident, make clear, however, that the confusion was done without any intention. We are therefore announcing the upcoming seminars by Mr. Davis.
---------------------------------------------------------

Again the information that has been shared by GM *D*, reflects chronicles of actual history of one of the many character assasination attempts upon his life, and upon his genuine efforts in establishing the art of 'Serrada Escrima' worldwide. GM *D* has requested that for the sake of continuing the 'Grand Legacy' of Supreme Grand Master Angel O. Cabales, that all of those who truly do wish to unite in the name of 'Serrada Escrima' that they do so by standing strong together in harmony, unity, and in universal love. If all of the main body of Serrada Escrimador's can come together as one concerted 'fist'...then in this way the legacy of “Supreme Grand Master” Angel O. Cabales will last from generation-to-generation.


Grand Master *D*

"Go With The Flow"

"GO WITH THE FLOW"

 
Supreme Grand Master Angel Cabales
As the little old Filipino escrimador took to the stage floor, all watching became very silent, until suddenly one could hear a snap, crackle, and pop sound that came from the hard hitting of the rattan stick that the little old man used against his demonstration partner in order to display the effectiveness of his particular 'close-quarter- combat' method known as the 'Cabales Serrada System of Escrima'.
   Known as the 'Father of Escrima in America' Supreme Grand Master Angel Cabales demonstrated on this particular warm day in late November of 1984, why such an immaculate title should have long been adorned upon him.
With the speed and the precision of a master heart surgeon, Angel Cabales sliced, diced, and made peach jelly jam out of every attempted attack against him.
Never before had such men as the late Grand Professor Wally Jay, Professor Al Novak, Professor Bill Tolentino, Grand Professor John K. Wong, seen a genuine escrima stick/knife empty hand method of fighting perfected by way of actual mortal combat experiences.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little did the viewers on this particular special sacred day realize, was that SGM Angel Cabales had perfected his fighting skills by way of genuine stick, and knife duels to the death.
SGM Angel Cabales always use to say "You see Serrada Escrima is for to protect your life". A man of little words, but once he engaged in actual combat, his blade, and his short stick did all of the talking for him.
 Cabales once told a story about how one of his former students GM Leo Giron brought another Filipino escrimador to the Gong Lee academy in order to challenge him. As Cabales was busy teaching class, he instructed GM Leo Giron to wait a little while until after his class was over, and then he would address his friends challenge.
--------------------------------------------
Once the class was over, SGM Angel Cabales walked up to his challenger; and asked him was he prepared to stick fight, as soon as the challenger attempted to make his move with his weapon, Cabales moved in on the challenger so fast, and so swiftly, that all the challenger could say was "Ah Angel! I got a lot more rice to eat before I can tangle with you".
More and more today, many practitioners of Filipino martial arts seem to be becoming more, and more concerned with the politics of FMA instead of its true purpose and function, which is to build strong characters, along with actually being able to defend oneself.According to SGM Angel Cabales, in the Philippines, many stick and knife challenges were engaged within in order to settle disputes on a final basis.
Unlike many other systems of martial arts, when another fighter disrespects another escrimador in any way, the direct approach to settle such disputes were all out duels to the death.SGM Angel Cabales always taught his students to never back down from a challenge.This sacred mandate couldn't be more in apparent than within the 'World Serrada Escrima Federation'.
Recently, it has come to the attention of the {WSEF} membership that there are certain former graduate students of the late SGM Angel Cabales that do not want to recognize the authority, the titles, the ranks, nor the accomplishments of one of it's top Master Graduate Serrada Escrima Instructor's.
Master Guru Tony Texiera & SGM Angel Cabales
--------------------------------------------
Without mentioning certain names at this time, there will be more follow up investigation regarding these allegations.However, the presiding Honorary President of the 'World Serrada Escrima Federation' Grand Master *D* has issued a decree, along with a challenge to any of the late SGM Angel Cabales' Master Graduate students who are in doubt of his particular system of combat Serrada Escrima.
A challenge has been issued out to any Serrada Escrima Grand Master, or Master Serrada Escrima Guru who trained under SGM Angel Cabales; to commit themselves to an all out 'one-on-one' stick or knife match behind close doors in order to determine who's method of Serrada Escrima is more effective.
In keeping with the tradition of the 'Cabales Serrada System of Escrima' code of ethics; no other Serrada Escrimador should ever look down upon any of SGM Angel Cabales' legitimate graduate students, nor down upon any of those graduate students, students. In the opinion of Grand Master *D*, many of SGM Angel Cabales' former students are continuing along the same unprofessional lines, and disrespectful guidelines as did many of SGM Angel Cabales' earlier students that learned Escrima from him, and then broke off and defected to other master's and Escrima styles of fighting.
Grand Master *D* Awards Supreme Grand Master title to Angel Cabales by way of Angel Cabales' son Gelmar Cabales & daughter MaryGel Cabales
---------------------------------------------
In Grand Master *D*s opinion, this is fine and OK, but it's unethical to bash any other Serrada Escrima graduate students who also studied diligently, and who also trained legitimately under the auspices of SGM Angel Cabales.
The WSEF will report more details about this story in the days to come.
*Stay Fine Tuned*
