2009 Rank Promotions

I am pleased to announce that this year’s Warrior Arts Conference in Oklahoma City was a great success. The material covered was very complete, and dealt with multiple ranges of combat ending with some internal arts practice for energy cultivation and injury recovery. Students were tested for two and a half days on their knowledge and practice of the system and it’s various components, fighting spirit and courage, leadership skills, teamwork, and most importantly their work ethic.

Afterwards there was a traditional promotion ceremony that incorporated both Afrikan and Indonesian influences, and gave honor to the ancestral lineage of masters who have come before in these disciplines thus connecting the circle. Professor Darrell Sarjeant and I promoted 3 students to Ading Guro and 2 students to Tagapagsanay (trainer) in the Silent Warrior Arts Association. Now it is up to them to begin developing students and propagating the arts.
