Any of the ladies out >there wanna back me up 8-) > I have to agree with Jon here. I always train on VACATIONS, but I didn't even CONSIDER training while on my honeymoon. My wife is very understanding and accommodating wrt my MA's, but even so, I think training on the honeymoon would've been pushing it. I say take a break from it .... but, if you're really gung ho to do this ... ask your future bride what she thinks about the idea (be prepared to duck flying objects). Good luck!

We haven't done one before, but since there has been a great increase in women joining our club lately, I've been discussing with my Sifu about possibly doing a 3 to 4 hour seminar on basic techniques. I know there's a lot more involved, of course, but to start planning it, I'd like some recommendations on what would be the most common attacks to focus on, for example wrist grab, choke, etc. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions/brief lists, as I know there are a number of people with more (far more :) experience at this than myself. I would probably choose 5 or 6 of the most basic attacks and drill defenses against them, as well as discussing mindset, awareness etc. Our discussions on the list on this subject has given me a lot of useful information and ideas to incorporate in my plan, and I'd like to thank everyone for that. You can email me at branwen@seascape.com so as not to jam up the list.

It's a way to block a punch. Perhaps "check" is a better term. Example: punch is coming, so you use bobbing/weaving (a la western boxing) to move your head out of the way and basically just place your open hand where your face was and place your hand on top of the incoming fist.

I haven't done much mismatched lead work yet, but I would probably tell Left (if I was Right) to throw a #2 (but make sure that Left understood that to me, it was a #1.) I'm not sure if that's what you wanted to know...it's fun trying to work it out in my head, though! Jocelyne holy crow, it's like math...argh, I'm an ARTS grad....!

"Redonda" is circular or an arc of a circle. What I like about Tagalog is that a there are a lot of ways to describe one word.
