EPISODE 018 SPECIAL GUEST: Guro Francis Serrano of Filipino Martial Arts School

BIO: Guro Francis Serrano has been practicing FMA for over 20 years, first under Guro Henry Cabillon, then Master Joe Napial, until his passing in 2004, then under his brother, Master Sonny Napial and Guro John Garcia. Francis combines his passion for Filipino culture and history with his technical knowledge of FMA to inspire his students with a dynamic curriculum that is both challenging and progressive. Going beyond the usual lecture, demonstration and movement practice of most schools, Francis constantly tries to enhance the learning experience of his students by using new teaching tools like multi-media. Surely, an FMA teacher of the next generation. — written by Guro Roland Isla Kali DeLeon – Isla Mandirigma.
