The right path
It saddens me to read all these negatives post against each other. where in turn we are all students of Kali. I just want to set the record straight on the most respectable way. Jerry, I don't know you, and we have never met. But judging on the response of your fellow students, you must be a great practioner of the arts and a phenomenal teacher. So many have come to your side and aide you on this issue. That in itself shows character. And by you continuing the lucaylucay system in your ciriculum is very admirable. With that being said, i think its about time to straighten out this misunderstanding. Maestra isn't here to start any drama or disvalue anyone's rank. It's not like she was surfing the web trying to take over the legacy one website at a time. To tell you the truth, she was at first vey happy to see that an old acquaintance of her and her brother has started a forum. What really got to her was that letter you posted on your website about family has no business continuing the teachings of the lucaylucay system. As you can imagine, Maestra was very hurt and offended by that article. She may have said some thing to disrespect you and your fellow students during the heat of the moment, but i can assure you it was only in defense of what she read. Maestra Beverly and Guro Ted we raised in the same house and therefore shared the same family values. We all know that the path that this is leading towards is the wrong one. And it needs to stop now. It is true that Guro Ted started a Phenomenal movement and by no means is Beverly trying to overshadow that. She simply is overseeing the direction of the movement. There will be many students in the near future learning the lucaylucay system. I believe both parties can agree on that. With that being said, i see no harm in you and your fellow students continuing the pratice of the art. All I ask is that you show the same respect to Maestra and other family memebers of the lucaylucay family as Ted showed to all practioners of the martial arts. I believe the family also earned the right to carry on the spirit that Ted has left for them as well. Like i said in the beginning, i do not know who you are but i respect your curriculum. If we meet in the future, i would hope to have earned your respect by following the same curriculum, just from a different sibling of Lucaylucay. As your students come by to defend their teacher, I stand by mine to do the same. I'd rather greet with handshakes, than sticks and gloves drawn. If lines will be crossed in a negative reaction, then so be it. I just hope both parties can choose the right path.
