MEMORIES WITH GGM ERNESTO A. PRESAS BY GM PETER KONSCHAK
My first encounter with GGM Presas I had in 1984, on his first visit to Germany. At that time, I also met Master Pepe Yap, who accompanied him on this trip In ‘the years there followed regularly further visits with us in Germany, always with GM Wolfgang Schnur in Königslutter. I participated in all these lectures. On the occasion, I also got to know other masters, Michael Ermac, Julius Melegrito, Jan Jan (Presas Jr.), Johan Skalberg. In 2005, I flew with several sports friends from Germany to the Philippines to get to know the sport in the country of origin. Through my language barrier, the training was not always easy for me, but GGM Presas always tried to pass on his knowledge to me with patience and dedication. He has always been a role model for me.
