A Moment That Helped Shape My Martial Arts Journey š„
Grandmaster B.C. Yu and Professor Remy Presas, founder of Modern Arnis, had known and respected each other since the 1970s.
Around 1993, this picture captured the two Grandmasters together ā and the young man standing beside them was me, Angel DeJesus.
I was a 4th Degree Black Belt and a longtime student of Grandmaster B.C. Yu, involved in the development of his Eurythmic Method. This was an important time as the principles of Taekwondo and Modern Arnis began to come together in our training.
Years later, that history became part of the continuing development of what I teach today: Taekwondo Boxing.
I was young, I was learning, and most importantly ā I was there. š„
The teaching continues.
