The FMA Informative wants to thank Jun Paliangayan for sharing the experience of Grand Maestro Jon Bais seminar tour on the east coast and Canada. Grand Maestro Bais works in the middle east and only has few opportunities to come back home to San Francisco, CA., to see his family. It was really a great opportunity for his Organization to be able to have some of his time so they could continue to upgrade their knowledge and skills in Bais Tres Mano.
