I WAS NEVER A HYPOCRITE. By the magus of Denver.

Perhaps I am a spoiled individual for more studies in the martial arts than any of my own brothers, and most common as a dominating factor had been underrated, under estimated and looked down upon by mainly Paul and Victor --as they were always claiming to tell their students. A reason we are still apart from each other until Maurice and Paul were passing on. It is sad, and yet, also for me a larger reason to express my feeling in a mindset that does not permit any unity to rise above the horizon. And also by the Dutch Indo community in Los Angels and in Holland is not a hurting for me, bu a rejoice for unlimited expansion. Which I did.
  Victor to me will always be a student of Paul, since the beginning in Holland, and Paul then was just a beginner starting student under uncle John. Paul taught Victor, and occasionally also trained together Kees Boering and my younger brother. Victor will always be treated to any other of Paul's students --why also never in any of my caring to mention him above Paul or Maurice.
  For the many more of studies I had undergone learning old school silat and Serak and Palembang kun tao had often to restrain my self for my opinion when around any of my brothers would actually  be embarrassing to them for having to listen to the truth. Watch them move, and watch me move my distance in a diversity of flavors.
  Why I also decided  to arrange a small family gathering only for my associated martial friends, and most loyal followers who I still train and also still give instructions to in the Bandung Serak, and the Cheribon Serak is especially designated to pay tribute by honoring Uncle John de Vries who taught me the most in structure and format and also several of his combination djurus and langkas for the Serak of his Mas Djoet lineage, and became in a due process above Mas Djoet after uncle John studied the Southern kun tao from two formidable kun tao teachers in Bogor, in West Java. Also especially bring to my memory is glorifying and the most to honor Pak Serak for his Cheribon Serak. Pak Serak died in the early part of the 1900's. The teachers who taught me the Cheribon Serak were also in their 60's in the late 1940's, and guru Egmund was already in his 80's in the 1970's. Like myself was then still full of piss and vinegar. I also honor at the same time Pak Atjo, guru Sardjono from Bandung where I met them, and later in the Bay era of San Francisco met guru Egmund.
