Still learning after 40 years of Isshin Ryu training, Shihan Bob Markovich (8th degree black belt) from Windsor, ON recently graded for his second degree black belt in Modern Arnis. So did his examiners, Dan Anderson from California, Jaye Spiro and Richard Parsons both from Michigan, take it easy on Shihan Not a chance. The examination was 2.5 hours in length covering everything from the basic 12 strikes to weapons katas. It was grueling to say the least but a rank well deserved. Now the only problem is for Shihan's Modern Arnis students, what goes around, comes around!  Congratulations Shihan!!
