I did some of this with a guy called Simon Wells a few years back. enjoyed it - seems liek a very good system. Last I heard Simon wasn't teaching though - a real shame.

from my copies of MAI magazine of the early to mid 90's it sounded like lapunti was the most popular stlye there in the UK. i know that harvey and omalley use to train in it. But i was wondering if there are any clubs lapunti in the UK at the moment?

Pat & John got their Lapunti through Simon I think.

I'm teaching on a seminar in August where John is also teaching - I'll ask him then if you still want info by then.

You thinking of coming for a visit?

just interested on whos teaching lapunti because i picked up a whole bunch of MAI mags from 1993-1995 and lapunti seemed to be the most popular at the time

Hi Terry! There are very few people teaching Lapunti in the UK.Simon Wells was,i believe,the first and most proficient teacher but,as was said before,i dont think he is teaching anymore.
I was fortunate enough to train with this highly skilled and respected man and his enthusiasm for Lapunti was infectious.

Welcome to MAP Lee - Simon's descision to stop teaching was a real blow for FMA in this country :(

Hi Terry,

I would say that at the moment the most practiced systems are (in no particular order):

Doce Pares Eskrima
Warriors Eskrima
Inosanto/Lacoste Blend

There are other systems being taught, but I think those three are the most popular.
