The Fa Tzang Buddhist Temple recently concluded its Summer Martial Arts Training Workshop for more than 30 children, aged 4 to 12, in its premises at Narra Ext., Bacolod City .
The graduation rites were held with a simple program. A demonstration was given by those who joined the course. Officials, parents, and visitors were present to give support to the children.
The workshop was sponsored by the Negros Occidental Buddhist Association under the leadership of its President Mr. Mining Tan and materialized through the efforts of Ms. Ruby Cua, In-charge for the association’s community service/charity projects.
The Negros Occidental Buddhist Association established the Fa Tzang Buddhist Temple way back in 1971. Cua had commissioned Master Roy R. Flores Sr., Founder of Tribu Hangaway and Negros Island Chief Instructor for Tapondo International Federation Inc. (TIFI), to teach the children the fundamentals of the Martial Arts. The goal was for the children to develop their character in terms of respect, discipline, patience, and confidence through the medium of the Martial Arts. Children 4-6 years old are taught the rudiments of Kickboxing while the 7-12 years old group is learning Tapondo, the Filipino art of throwing and locking. The participants are students from different schools in Bacolod among them the city’s three Chinese schools Bacolod Tay Tung High School, St. John’s Institute (Hua Ming), and Trinity Christian School (Sam It), University of St. La Salle , etc.
The training workshop started last April 17, 2009 and was conducted every MWF 9:15-11 A.M.
Tribu Hangaway and Tapondo International Federation Inc. (TIFI)- Negros are proud members of the Intercontinental Federation of Filipino Martial Arts Schools (IFFMAS).

Reigning Universal Reality Combat Championship (URCC) lightweight champion Edward "The Landslide" Folayang of Team Lakai (Baguio City, Philippines), 25, will be defending his crown against Giovanni Sablan of Trench Tech (Saipan) on July 18 in the main event of the Colt 45 URCC 14: Aggression.
Folayang, who is also a 23rd SEA Games Wushu Sanshou champion and the URCC XII Super Fight champion, holds a record of 4-0 while Sablan is 15-4 (Rodriguez 16 May 2009).
After the rise of FilAms Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) sensations light heavyweight Brandon “The Truth” Vera and Philippe “Filipino Assassin” Nover, Folayang burst into the international Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) scene with a 52 seconds TKO of Marianas Elite Jerome Norita of Saipan (then 2-1), 20, in a non-title semi-main event at the Gorilla Warfare MMA “Battle Ready” held recently at the Royal Taga Hall of Saipan World Resort, Saipan. It was his international MMA debut (Blogtopia).
Fighters from the Guam, Mainland, NMI, the Philippines, and Pohnpei. Folayang was the only off-island winner in the event )Rodriguez 31 Mar. 2009).
With the win Folayang is coming nearer to his dream of competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the world’s largest MMA promotion owned and operated by the Las Vegas, Nevada-based Zuffa, LLC. If this pushes through he will be the first full-blooded Filipino to fight in the octagon. Talks had been made between the managements of UFC and URCC to have a local version of the tournament in the Philippines, starting with a visit by former UFC champion Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell last August 2008. Folayang intends to compete in the lightweight (154 lbs.) category (Osis).
