Guro Bob,

Individually, I have been in contact with many people, some posers,
others have been legitimate in what they say and do.

Personally, I feel it would be a benefit to have a "mutual alliance"
in which every serrada escrima group could benefit along with their
individual members.

I nor GM Anthony have proposed attempting the dissolution of other
federations or associations in order to have 1 supreme organization.
We've all come too far for this to happen. However, again here to a
alliance amoung the organizations could be a HUGE benefit for the
propogation of Serrada Escrima.

Certainly, within each organization there is protocol to be observed.

If the person who had made contact with me was indeed a "rogue" person
within your organization, this is unfortunate. I personally, nor any
rerepresentative of the WSEF had solicited in anyway this contact.
Until we are drawn into conversation again by this indidvidual, we
would not have reason to consider the discussion again.

However, with that in mind, if I should be contacted again, I will
certainly keep your thoughts in mind and perhaps even refer back to
you regarding the contact.

I do know that GM Anthony has expressed interest in communication with
GM Sultan Uddin. If you are in a position to relay this, I'm sure GM
Anthony would be appreciative.

Respects,

Punong Guro Mike
