Thank you @elsieyaaa! Yes, it's an official group and our instructor is part of it and he has a position or something (I'm sorry I forgot what it is). That's why he is so naning about it and encouraging us because they are aiming for the Arnis to be known not just here in the Philippines, but, they will bring it internationally as a sport.
And yes again, it was when I was in my second year. Oh and I hope your badminton skill issues will be resolved (or was it resolved already?) But really don't pressure yourself too much. Maybe you're really meant to be an Arnisadora and not a badminton player HAHAHA
It's in my blog how I'm having badminton issues (basically giving myself an April Fool's joke by climbing up and down). But IDK, I miss that first sem though. Hope my school has that as well.
