As a direct result of his superior skill and devotion to the principles, philosophy, and purpose of Bahala Na Martial Arts combined with leadership and his master-level instructorship, Master Tony Somera was promoted to the rank and responsibility of Grand Master by the late Grand Master and founder of Bahala Na® Martial Arts, Leo M. Giron.
Grand Master Somera promoted the art of Giron® Arnis Escrima along with its rich Filipino history and culture by providing opportunities for students and community members to visit historic sites and learn Filipino American history through bi-annual “affiliate camps” held in Stockton.
Tony Somera is the only person ever to have been promoted to the rank of Master and then Grand Master by the late Grand Master Emeritus Leo M. Giron.
