If you would like to help ...

Updated: September 13, 2011
Big thanks to everyone who helped make the September 10th Benefit Seminar a success this past weekend! Special thanks to all the instructors - Robert Klampfer, Brian Corey, Rich Monforti, Brian Lee, and Datu Tim Hartman, and a big thank you to David Ng and Rowland Rivera for hosting the event. To all those who came and supported - thank you, from GM Bobby!

For those of you who could not make it, we will be auctioning a few of Grand Master Bobby's hand-carved and designed sticks in a few days. Stay tuned for more details!

Note: GM Taboada continues to rehab at home. He is doing 100x better than a month ago - his voice is coming back as is his energy and ability to continue his rehabilition exercises. He sends his thanks to everyone who has been so generous and supportive.

As many of you know, GM Bobby underwent a major surgery this past July. He spent more than 7 weeks in the hospital, 5 weeks in ICU alone! During this time and for an unknown extended amount of time to follow, GM Bobby and Luz will incur tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Many of his friends, family and students in the International Balintawak community have asked for ways to help him on the road to recovery.

In response to the need for people to connect directly and help, we created a basic donation form that allows you to donate to Bobby and Luz. While GM Bobby was hesitant with the idea at first, it was at the insistence of many of his closest friends that we were able to make this happen for his benefit.

As of today, GM Bobby is in full recovery mode and has just begun a long road of rehab. From Bobby and Luz and all of his family and friends, thank you for your generosity, support, and prayers.
