Hey, if it works for you then I say, use it. I’m not dogmatic about things like technique or tactics. We all have our own interpretations. While I might not be inclined to use the type of tactic you describe that doesn’t make it less valid.

He knew what he was doing" Charles Shultz, deputy district attorney- A martial arts expert accused of stabbing a passerby who wanted to bum some cigarettes will go on trial on murder charges a San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge ruled tuesday. Daniel Henry Haro, 25, will go before a jury in March on charges that he stabbed and killed a 33 year old Stockton man four days before christmas last year. After a preliminary hearing on tuesday Superior Court Judge Bernard Garber ruled there was sufficent evidence to hold Haro over for trial. Prosecutors are charging the Stockton resident with one count of murder. A self described expert in ESCRIMA, "a Filipino knife-fighting technique", Haro allegedly stabbed 33 yeard old Brian Wittmayer to death on the afternoon of Dec. 21, said deputy Districy Attorney Charles Schultz. Wittmayer who suffered from bi-polar disorder, had approached Haro to see if he could get a cigarette. "Haro has said he thought Brian was coming after him" Schultz explained. "So he stabbed Brian several times in the chest and back. Haro is an expert in ESCRIMA. He knew what he was doing." Two knife thrusts to Wittmayer's chest punctured a lung and at least one artery a medical expert testified on tuesday. After he fell to his knees, Wittmayer was stabbed several more times around the shoulder blades. Stockton police officers found him lying on California Street north of Weber Avenue, lifeless and and pale from lack of blood. >>>> ------------------------------ From: Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 17:11:51 EST Subject: eskrima: lactat Dieter Kn=FCttel wrote: << When the lactate is getting too high, i.e. when gou go into anaerobic workout, you loose the fine coordination of your muscles.

Instruction was by Ron and Lalaina Harris (San Miguel Dos Manos, Muay Thai), Jan Miernyk (grappling); John Clements (Western Historical swordsmanship) and yours truly, Serrada. We had a great time working out for 3 days, then partying at the Mardi Gras. It's too bad more people weren't able to attend or support this camp. Ron works hard to put these on and comes up with programs that combine training and activities that showcase the locale in which the camps are held (I've now seen Albuquerque and New Orleans). I know I've learned a lot from the other instructors, and I'd like to encourage others to take advantage of these opportunities. Jeff "Stickman" Finder stickman@autobahn.org ------------------------------ From: Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 20:41:09 -0500 Subject: eskrima: Happy New Year! Hello, Happy New Year! Gung Hei Faat Choy! Xin Nian Kuai Le! It's 4697 and the Year of the Rabbit. Follows are the "predictions" or "forecasts" or "outlooks" of the Rabbit year for each of the Chinese Animal signs. May this new year be better than the last for you in health, wealth, happiness, and luck! Hey Medicine Man Mik, it looks like a great year for you! Very best, Hy bakayaru@pipeline.com p.s. Please note that STANDARD HOROSCOPE DISCLAIMER applies ;-) =========================== RAT (1900, 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996) A calm and quiet year, during which the Rat will acquire new and valuable business or career contacts - and we all know how good he is at networking. His popularity is on the rise and he will move in new or better circles. Secret dreams and aspirations can be realized if he plays his cards right and finds the right sponsor or mentor. Working behind the scenes will be more useful tot he Rat than open opposition at this time. OX (1901, 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997) On the whole, the Rabbit provides a fair year for the Ox, although there are many loose ends to tie up and other problems to settle. He may lose money on some investments or fail to collect debts. The death of, or separation from, people close to him bring some sorrow and distract him from his work. However, the tranquil atmosphere of the Rabbit's year brings him respite from his many commitments. His progress will be steady and predictable and he does not have much to worry about. This is a good time for him to catch up on the things he really enjoys. Go sailing, fishing, mountain climbing, play golf, or simply take time off. TIGER (1903, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998) A calm and fortuitous year for the Tiger native. Some good news is in store and both romance and business affairs look promising. He will be able to surmount the difficulties in his path as long as he refuses to be drawn into controversy or problems that do not concern him. All in all, he will be content with his achievements this year. RABBIT (1904, 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999) This is a very auspicious year for the Rabbit native. Promotions, career advancement or financial coups may be in store for him. He will reap unexpected benefits, and investments or funds once considered lost could be recovered. Happy tidings and celebrations at home will bring him joy and romance. Projects he has been working on will finally come to fruition. This is definitely a time for the Rabbit to make "hay" while his full Rabbit moon shines on him! DRAGON (1905, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000) Tranquility returns to the Dragon's life in the year of the Rabbit. A fair amount of progress can be expected as the winds of fortune blow on the Dragon's sails again. His home and love life become more settled, although he could experience minor health problems. The Hare year is a reasonable time to make long-term commitments, negotiate new ventures and find influential associates. No financial upsets or bad news await the Dragon in this year. SNAKE (1906, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001) Although many commitments keep him very busy, this will be a fairly happy year for the Snake. The year of the hare may look tranquil, but its currents run deep, and what looks so inviting from the surface may hold some surprises if we take things for granted. The Rabbit is calculating and superficial when in a negative mode and quickly loses interest once he gets what he wants. The Snake usually knows what he wants and will work toward achieving his aims, but this year he'll be unable to spend enough time with those hi likes due to all his responsibilities. Money comes and goes easily as the Hare's bounty does not stay in one place for long. HORSE (1907, 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002) The Horse will be lucky this year, especially with his investments. His life will be smooth but still very involved. He can expect happy news or new members in the family. In this protected year, he can venture anywhere and encounter few problems. The more adventurous Horses may get a respite from their hectic life or many travels and be able to take care of matters at home and get a well-deserved rest this year. A blessing in disguise will also make the horse happy this year. SHEEP (1908, 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003) The Rabbit's year will be a fortunate and fairly easy one for the Sheep as he chalks up some gains at work and in his finances. He will benefit from being in the right place at the right time and will meet people who give him information or assistance. However, he should not be too complacent. He could suffer an upheaval at home or some repercussion due to past neglect. Health problems could be caused by accidental injuries or overexertion. But he will emerge from his troubles with more gains than losses. MONKEY (1909, 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004) This will be a good year for the Monkey as the Rabbit brings him better prospects and situations in which the Monkey could capitalize on his wits. Benefits accrue to him form unlikely friends and places. His domestic life and love life will be tranquil, and his career or business will enjoy some upward gains. A safe time for him to make changes in his environment and check out various opportunities. The sensible Rabbit helps the Monkey develop new contacts and ideas. He is able to sell himself and find ways to promote his many abilities. However, the Monkey should watch his tongue and not be over-confident or boastful. People could use his ideas or what he says against him if he is not careful and vigilant. ROOSTER (1910, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005) This will be a fair time for the Rooster if he remains conservative in outlook. The Rabbit's year could initially look soft and cuddly on the outside but could in reality present some unpleasant surprises. Investments this year are unreliable and the Rooster should not speculate. The Rooster must seek expert advice and be sure to take it or else he will wind up making the wrong choices. He is also prone to miscalculations during this year and his profits may be eaten away by unexpected expenses. It would be advisable for him to join forces with others instead of acting independently. Arguing, criticizing or challenging authority is discouraged. The Rooster does not need any more controversy than he already has. His family and love life may be strained if he is too distracted by his problems at work. DOG (1911, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006) The virtuous Hare brings a favorable year for the aspirations of the Dog. He can start his own business or go into a partnership. He will be able to advance his position and can reorganize matters to the benefit of others. Difficulties are resolved with a minimum of complications because it is so easy for him to gain the people's cooperation. In his love and home lives, the Dog will find harmony or solve problems without much difficulty. The Dog will find few obstacles in his path. He is able to concentrate on doing what he likes and pursuing his hobbies. Because the Rabbit gives the Dog a lot of room to maneuver in, the Dog will be able to relax and, as a result, become more productive. BOAR (1912, 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007) The reign of the Rabbit brings a fair year for the Boar with some modest results. Obstacles may still crop up but there will be no major upheavals as the Boar recaptures lost ground and makes good progress. His love life and family environment will be tranquil and there will be reunions and other happy gatherings. The Boar will enjoy entertaining and making new contacts. He also makes some financial gains and is able to consolidate his position to a good degree. This year brings new social ties and romantic involvement for the Boar person. ------------------------------ From: Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 06:54:39 -0800 (PST) Subject: eskrima: . ------------------------------ End of Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V6 #71 *************************************** To unsubscribe from this digest, eskrima-digest, send the command: unsubscribe eskrima-digest -or- unsubscribe eskrima-digest your.old@address in the BODY of email (top line, left justified) addressed to majordomo@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com.
