Medway Messenger Now that's what you call sticking it to the man! Article: ESPECIALLY when you've just won three gold medals in a European Championship like Walderslade Ermar Alexander. The 30-year old is a 5th dan black belt at stickfighting, which originated in the Philippines and which he only started practising eight years ago. Since then Ermar, the son of a Filipino mother, has won two world titles, is three-time unbeaten low armour champ and current British open champion at knife fighting. He's now started running his own classes at Fitness First in Walderslade. Five students are put through their paces on Friday nights (7pm to 9pm), while he has started other classes at Shepherds Bush, Covent Garden and East London. He describes his form of stickfighting - Eskrima Kali Arnis - as a martial art like kendo in that competitors wear headgear and body armour. His golds, in Italy, came in the Under-75kg catgegory single stick, double stick and akea (Italian points system) categories and he said afterwards: "This form of stickfighting takes me to the edge and I like to be challenged both mentally and physically." He defends his world title in the Philippines next year. That's when he can be called the best. |

Medway Messenger Master shows his skills Article: Grand master Danny Guba gave a demonstration of the Doce Pares multi-style martial arts system in Chatham on Saturday. Guba, a 10th degree black belt, performed his moves at the Fitness First Centre in Snodhurst Bottom with forms including stick, knife, sword and empty hand. The martial art originates in the Philippines and appeals to those looking to improve their self-defense, fitness and competition. Instructor Ermar Alexander will be holding the inaugural class at the Fitness First Centre tomorrow (Saturday) from 6pm and the first session is free. Alexander said: "We had about 15 people come to watch the display and they enjoyed it and will be coming back for lessons." "They joined in and were taught the basics. Quite a range of people attended, including couples as it appeals to women as well." For more information contact Ermar on 078900 40222 or visit the website at dgdocepares.co.uk |
