Darwin's Night of the Gladiators - 1994

During 1994 Craig Radcliffe was responsible for organising and promoting training seminars for the Philippine Australia Arnis Katipunan (P.A.A.K.) in Darwin. These seminars were hosted by Arnis Master Instructor Guro Rodel Dagooc and Goju Kai Master Instructor Kancho Tino Ceberano. To promote the seminars there was several articles published in the N.T. News as well as a public Arnis Demonstration at the Palmerston Markets.

After these Seminars Craig Radcliffe was approached by the organisers of the Night of the Gladiators to put on a demonstration of Arnis as part of the 1994 fight night draw card. I accepted to do so and invited Guro Rodel Dagooc who was home in the Philippines if he would attend and be an active part of the demonstration, in which he accepted and was joined by Senior Instructor to Kancho Tino Ceberano, Sensei Peter Pritchard. After the demonstration Guro Rodel Dagooc presented me with a certificate of Senior Instructor in Modern Arnis recognised by the Philippine Australia Arnis Katipunan and the International Arnis Federation.
