I know that you > studied Pekiti Tersia (under Erwin Ballarta?), so you are familiar with > the rough and tumble training in PT. > First let my say that as far as my training in PT goes, originally I started with Roberto Ancog when I was about 10 years old, he was not right if you no what I mean, he wanted us to fight for real with no pads, at 10 years old. Needless to say the owner of the Club kicked him out and my father wanted to take him out, which I have no doubt he could have. A few years later after playing with Kali, My friend Dominick and I would watch his brother and some older guys beat hell out of each other in his parents basement. We were to young. most of my PT stuff comes from Dominck, who was never a fighter, but a nice guy, and later I played with a number of Erwins students that went to M.S.U with him. In fact in one of my first really hard full contact sessions with a friend when I was 16 and just got my license so now I could go train with all these guys, I attacked with a poorly planed #1 which he slipped and countered with a strike to my shin, breaking the bone. I trained with Erwin when he would come back in town from Texas to visit his parents and do a seminar. Heis brother and I haven't talked in yers although we live few miles apart, I introduced him to his wife and we don't talk no more. As far as Anciong nailing people. Ted said that Anciong would definitely pop you in a heart beat, especially if he liked you. Which I can relate to, Remy Presas and I train much harder that he does with most of his Master students running around, and our sparring looks different, when we spar people tend to stop and watch, cause its not some semi sparring or tapi tapi slapy happy stuff. We play and he often nails me, split my eye a number of times loosened a few teeth, broke a few fingers here and there, moved some ribs and tickled a few internal organs. Remy did tell me and Ted backs this up, that during Remys time with Anciong, which was before Ted, it was not uncommon, to have to clean the blood off of the cement slab at the club. Of course With Remy, and Delfane Lopez, and Lopez's cousins, ( I can't remember there names now ) these guys loved to hurt each other. Remy was the best fighter of all of them in fact, one of Delphane's cousins, who had bad blood with Remy recieved such a beaten one day by Remy, who turned his face into hamburger, that Delphane told everyone he was going to get Remy. It was at this point Remy decided it would be better if he moved on. Not because Remy was afraid of Delphane, even Ted says Remy could beat Delphane, except Delphane liked to fight Espada y 45cal. He some how got away with shooting several people in his time, he had good connections or something. So any ways getting back to your question, it seems to me that the more your instructor likes you the harder he may hit you.

The film follows the story of then 1st Lt. Gause, who escaped a Japanese confinement camp in the Philippines in 1941, and sailed to Australia with another soldier across 3,200 miles of Japanese waters. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck will executive produce the film. I hope that Filipinos are featured as part of the war effort instead of just bystanders. - --rafael-- ------------------------------ From: Doug Parent Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 23:44:00 -0800 Subject: eskrima: Re: Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V6 #66 In a recent digest Peter S. wrote: >From: Peter Sampogna >Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 12:09:43 -0500 >Subject: eskrima: bahi/anahaw > >does anyone have the species name of this wood or a source for it i'm making some....... stuff > >Peter Sampogna > De-lurking to pass on info - Good local source for those of us who live in urban L.A. area - you might call the House of Hardwood (310) 479-4196 - 2143 Pontius Ave, Los Angeles; I'm not sure if they have any bahi in stock but when I was there last month they had a bunch of raw cocobolo and were willing to order almost anything. They also do custom machining. Just draw them a picture. They did nice work on a maple staff rack for me.

Soccer gangs invented a novice way, my first experience of it coming from Liverpool thugs in the 1970's, of twinning the blades (which are replaceable) and then putting a matchstick in between. This caused a cut that would only get stitched by piano wire, you know the really heavy stitches that leave the biggest scars. Perfect weapon in that it costs less than a pound (GBP) and is easily tossed away. When stopped by Police you can claim that you have been working. The blade is retractable so it's safe in the pocket pat ------------------------------ From: Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 08:57:48 EST Subject: eskrima: My own mail!!!

Its going to be hard to bring bulk of it so I will take my time to take in small number at that time. If it is a case of deforestation even bringing small quantities in might seriously impair the future of this wood. I do hope that people might think twice before buying any animal/product that is close to being exhausted. In this case I am quite sure there are alternatives. pat ------------------------------ From: Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 11:58:38 EST Subject: eskrima: Stress Learning A quick note on something that seems rational regrading stress learning, but is only a hypothesis on my part: If you learn under stressful conditions and become successful in that environment enough times, won't that environment become LESS stressful? Stress is only our own perception... some experience more and some less in the same environment. Stress can actually be reduced as someone becomes competent in handling a situation. SO... with this in mind, it seems to me that if you train regularly in High Stress scenerios, and become proficient at dealing with them, you would experience less stress. And your learning capabilities would then increase. Sound likely? M.
