    So I'll be in Valencia for a short stop only about 2 weeks and would love to get some practice in with like-minded people. I'm experienced in Tai Chi and Arnis/Escrima but just a beginner at yoga. Are there any groups in Valencia?

    If you go to the Bacong Market and ask around for Andy the watch repair guy, Andy teaches arnis/escrima. If I recall correctly he is also a seventh Dan in karate.
    If Andy can't help you he can maybe introduce you to Ike Villaflouris (sp) in Dumaguete.
    As for yoga the closest you may get is at Robinson and they spell it Yogurt LOL.

    I haven't seen Andy around town for several years now and I don't personally know Ike.
    If you drop in at any PNP station they might be able to help you find someone. I think a lot of the cops are into Arnis at least that's what I heard..

    I don't know.
    Ike Villaflouris lives about 200 - 300 metres away from the main Dumaguete Police Station. I think its called Dr Miciano Rd. It's close to the Globalink Driving School Office. His house and training area is in a little sideroad and is not easy to find. I agree about asking in the Police Station for their help or getting as close to the location that I gave and start asking people living nearby.
