Hello Everyone.......Nina, Walt

My name is Raymond Floro.

I am based in Sydney and teach full time.

I founded "Floro Fighting System", which has it's origin from Kalis Ilustrisimo (A form of Filipino Martial Arts) and Olympic Fencing.

I've been teaching since 1989, and have been fortunate enough to meet, train and teach many of whom I consider legends in their fields.

I have also been fortunate to be contracted and have consulted by many Military and Law Enforcement Agencies.

This month I have released my Instructional DVD - The Essential Ray Floro

I look forward to discussing and sharing views here. As I see people I respect have already registered.

Hi all,

My name is Terry Williams, my MA experience is roughly in progression as follows:

Kyokushin 2 years
Sikaran/Arnis 4years
boxing 3yrs
ninjitsu 2-3yrs
BJJ 2-3yrs
Wrestling and No-Gi 2-3yrs
Shooto (training with wrestling)
Judo and No Gi 3yrs (current)
Pankration (with judo)
Muay Thai & MMA recently

I have a somewhat informed opinion on the above and a general opion on just about anything else. I currently am a competitor/student but look forward to opening my own school when time permits. In the short future I look forward to reaquanting myself with the FMA, I currently am drilling my sinawali and basics but living in the Illawarra I don't have anyone to train with.

Regards,

Terry Williams

Probably no need.

Paul,

You are exactly right, This is the place for serious and dedicated martial arts discussion, no politics and no negativity. Just the arts, as it should be.

Hi Admin

you owe me a karma point!

I was just checking what that button did and your karma points increased.

Now I'm curious, what number does it go to?
Is there a prize for the best score?

How can I increase my own karma points?

Great to see more people here since the last time I visited, fantastic to see a forum with real names and real people.
