Katipuna 2009 Synopsis:

The first Filipino Martial Arts Katipunan 2009 was held successfully in Ty Park, Hollywood, FL on Sept. 5th-6th, 2009 hosted by Gat Puno Abon Baet of the Garimot System of Arnis.

The participating instructors included: Abundio Baet, Bram Frank, Nate Defensor, Roberto Torres, Dan Medina, Felix Diaz, Lee Peacock, Shaun Burley, Chad Bailey, John Kovacs, & Greg Alland.. The event drew over 180 plus attendees for both days. Photos and videos of the event are now available at Facebook, YouTube. MyFma.net, and FMAPULSE.COM. Key in the word Katipunan 2009 and enjoy the images. The goal of this whole organization and its participants is to unite the Filipino Martial Arts world devoid of politics and to give something back to the world by showcasing various systems and styles of Filipino Martial Arts. The intent also is to network all participating instructors and attendees and provide a referral service to the public.

In the first Katipunan, the format was setup so the day is divided into three two hour instructor-led sessions, one demonstation session,, and one lunch break.

From the desk of the KATIPUNAN Supremo-Global: On behalf of the KATIPUNAN Spirits, thank you very very much to all the KATIPUNEROS & KATIPUNERAS who took part in this "historical" event. As I proclaimed "KATIPUNAN" officially as the Gathering or Society of Brothers in Filipino Martial Arts, we've gained new friends, new brothers and new family members. KATIPUNAN is politics free and everyone was treated equally
