Dear Ray,

Didn't your Mother teach you to stay away from scalpels, and those who wield 
them and the places where they're wielded? I know there's at least 1,000 
people who wish you the following: May you have a speedy, uneventful 
recovery.  

You may already be aware of the book entitled "The Seven Minute Rotator Cuff 
Solution" or something like that.  Marc recommended it to me years ago  (is 
this a "geezer'" thing?).  Let me know if you're interested in more details. 
If helpful, I believe it's readily found at your local mega-bookstore.

Take care and keep us posted.  John "Underdog" Salter

Subject: eskrima: videoclips of Angel Cabales

For those interested in viewing videoclips of GM Angel Cabales flow sparring
and taking lock & block, go http://www.martialartsresource.com, then
the Eskrima side, then the FTP site and look for filenames 
AngelFS.mov and AngelLB.mov.  There are also zipped versions of the files
available.

The footage is short (~20 seconds), but you can see how Angel moved in 1975.
This is taken from the end of the video where Angel goes thru each of the
3 basic counters per angle.  (Perhaps the first commercial FMA video???)
The video itself is of poor quality, so the videoclip is really poor
quality.  You can't see what Angel looked like, but you can see how well
he moved. 

More clips to come.  Hopefully more of historical interest plus some 
short 'lessons' from your friendly Inayans.

<<Subject: eskrima: Trapping Range

The article mentioned that Burton Richardson doesn't emphasize trapping
as 
much any more due to the face that people are tending to crash through
that 
range to take you down.  The art that I train most is Inosanto Blend
Kali, 
and I prefer the totally offensive trapping that I am shown.  I prefer
to 
fight in trapping range, but against a grappler, my trapping rarely
shows 
up.  This led me to my first question.

Do we follow Guro Richardson's lead and train harder in the other
ranges?  
Or do we (or extremely knowledgeable people that know both grappling and 
FMA) create drills/training methods to trap against a grappler?

Second question:  If we do try to create those drills and fail, does
that 
make trapping range obsolete in a street confrontation?

"You may call it cheating, but I call it good silat."
                                          -Herman Suwanda>>

If you are an I blend person you know the answer...that is to train
everything and crosstrain.  The problem is trainingtime and getting the
most bang for the buck.  Your trapping  will work as there is no
superior art IMHO.  You need to understand it beyond the technique
however.  In the Inosanto way what level of trapping are you really at? 
Are you a phase 1 trapper (not to be confused with phase 1 Jun Fan
class)?  
You will not be able to understand trapping and effectively use it well
unto you are a phase 3 trapper with experience.  Other arts are not so
technique sensitive and can get you up to speed faster like boxing.  The
really neat thing about Inosanto Blend is you can use the trapping for
example to set up the throws and grappling.  And hey... who the heck
says you can't Wing chun the crap out of a guy you have in the mount? 
You can bet that will screw up the guy who thinks of a pure BJJ
responce.  The key is to have understanding of the tools he uses and
understanding of tools you can apply regardlesss of what those tools may
be.  For example to paksao his head from the mount and blend that
technique into a head and arm choke.  So you see it is not the
shortcoming of trapping,  the shortcoming is the understanding of the
application of that particular tool.   

I have not seen Guro Suwanda in a long time.  Last time I saw him
"Fighting was cheating"...but I  like the 
new corallary.

acquire the capability of taking VISA cards!   Via our website yet!  Only
thing is we're not sure of the best way to go about it.   It would be
greatly appreciated if anyone having knowledge/experience in these things
get in touch with Cindy, our VP in Charge of Reality, at
prettykitty@dogbrothers.com

Thanks,
