Trained by LEGENDS of Filipino Combat

The Filipino Warrior Tradition is founded upon honoring and preserving the knowledge passed on though our teachers. Each generation of students should seek to maintain the virtues and the original intent of his teachers' systems of combat. These are the late and legendary teachers and friends who have directly trained Master Mosses.

Close Ties: Family, Honor, Tradition

Master Mosses has close ties with the influential trainers and practitioners in FMA today. This close knit group forms a small community, frequently training together to keep the tradition ALIVE, VIBRANT, and TRUE to its roots.

Master Mosses's cousin, Guro Dino Flores, shares in this long history of training and sparring together.

They began their formal training in the 1980's with Grandmaster Henry Bio, of Sikaran Arnis. Both Master Mosses and Guro Flores also trained in the NINOY CINCO TEROS Arnis style with Grand Master Conrad A. Manaois.

Both also trained directly with Punong Guro Edgar G. Sulite. Guro Dino was accepted as an initial member of Sulite's newly formed BACKYARD GROUP, AKA The Sulite Orihenal Group (S.O.G.) into which Master Mosses became an honorary member.

Master Mosses soon relocated to Washington State where Punong Guro Sulite made Master Mosses his head representative for the state. Over the years, Punong Guro spent many weeks at Master Mosses's home where Punong Guro honed him in his Lameco Eskrima . He became Master Mosses's close friend and mentor. Today, Master Mosses continues to teach his beloved instructor's Lameco Eskrima in its purest form. In addition, Guro Flores and Master Mosses also trained for many years under Grand Master Christopher N. "Topher" Ricketts until his passing in 2010.

Today, their bond is stronger than ever and continue to conduct their exclusive “DNA” (Dino and Ariel) seminars together around the world.
