When you say "two handed block" is this with both hands together like a baseball bat grip (dos manos) or with one at each end?

He's a really good pesilat and a fearsome fighter. He's also one of that increasingly rare breed of martial artist who's not an utter egotistical a**hole. I've gotta warn you, though. He's got a really twisted sense of humor, so hang your assumptions at the door.... ------------------------------ From: STRYFE31@aol.com Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 14:51:37 EDT Subject: eskrima: Re: Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V6 #311 I thought that Mr. Al Conception was a student of Grandmaster Angel Cabales.

Which steps correspond with which strikes, both my strikes and my opponents'? IE he throws a number 1, which number is my step, assuming 1-8 star? Conversely, what is my step corresponding to a given step of his? Are there accepted standards to this? As you can probably see I have a realization that there is a system, I just haven't the slightest clue beyond this.... I keep getting little moments of insight to it but my kali school closed just when the instructor, Keno Ask, was getting into it... ------------------------------ From: Bladewerks@aol.com Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 23:59:27 EDT Subject: eskrima: Re: Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V6 #310 for anyone that is intrested, Hock Hochheim will be doing a one day seminar in the Knowxville Tennessee area(Pigeon Forge).
