I have seen some very exciting footage of Prince "Naz" in his way up. Talented and wildly unconventional by boxing criteria, to this observer his style made a lot of sense in FMA terms, including some stellar use of triangular footwork. I missed his fight the other night, but heard it was not that great. My impression is that since he left the trainer with whom he started that he has been bamboozled into thinking he needs to be more conventional. His talent gets him through, but I wish he would stay with his unique intuitions, , , Of course one could argue that the opposition's level is higher and that he can't get away with the radical stuff any more. Big George is one of my favorite boxing commentators (the others are Al Bernstein and Teddy Atlas) Unlike many retired fighters, his comments are often quite perceptive when he doesn't have to carry the talking heads who work on camera with him. As for the progression in the DB vids, we started with 4 power strokes, then moving your feet, then moving two sticks, then basic combinations, then moving the stick with fluidity using Top Dog's interpretation of some of the first set of Pekiti Tersia seguidas. Given this purpose, obviously the seguidas cannot come first. Woof, Guro Crafty PS: There was a UFC qualifier run by "Cobra Productions" (former UFC Competitor Mark Hall) on Saturday on the Cahuilla Creek Indian Reservation. Being beyond the reach of the white man's forked tongue femi-nazi authorities, the event featured "Old UFC" rules. Life being what it is, many of the fights did not materialize and the main event became of Dog Brothers stickfight between Chris "True Dog" Clifton (180lbs) and Mike "Dogzilla" Tibbitts (230lbs), who stepped in at the very last minute due to a hip injury of Lester "Surf Dog" Griffin. The fight was held in a boxing ring and Surf Dog acted as referee (required by the rules)-- which mostly consisted of wearing a hockey helmet and staying out of the way of the fight in the tight quarters of the ring. The fight was siniwali and I am told that in the tight quarters the action was pretty much non-stop, except for a fencing mask getting knocked off. I will be getting video of the fight on Tuesday when Surf comes by, but all concerned, including promoter Mark Hall, tell me that the crowd (1,000 plus) was most enthused. Respects to True Dog and Dogzilla for their Dog Brothers spirit and best wishes to Surf with his injury. ------------------------------ From: tcsno Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 19:22:55 -0400 Subject: eskrima: Training Schedules Okay, on training, here goes. My idea's are unorthodox, but not without research. As far as martial arts goes, I just get by with my skills,....as far as keeping my body intact, I do well. I work as a stagehand which frequently means 16+ hour days, and little sleep. No regularity, and lots of climbing, lifting, and standing on my feet,...very bad for your body. I train to get the max results with the minimum time and precise impact on my body's ability to recover. First off, my diet is impeccable. I have modified my "Zone" diet to heal injuries and keep my at 7 to 8% bodyfat year round. My wife stays at 9% after nursing two kids. Oddly both sets of our parents have obesity problems. I strength train only once every seven days with a workout that covers half my body (upper or lower). This is "Power Factor training". I can measure the output week to week and see if I recover properly. My aerobics center around martial arts conditioning. Bagwork, skiprope, powershots with heavy rattan and pipes, and ground and legwork from silat. I never use step up machines or any aerobic machinery. My resting pulse is 48. I walk my pitbull bitch several times a day(twice if working,..morning and nite) to break up the day and keep the metabolism pumping. Getting yanked around and prying things out of her mouth are good for the grip, and walking in flipflops is good for the feet(tools in Mustika Kwitang!). When I feel that lifting 800 pound sound mixing consoles with co-workers is not enough to hurt my orthopedic integrity,...I visit my silat instructor to get slapped around, thrown, and told that my legs are not strong enough. Thank God for creatine, glutamine, and all those anti oxidants. I am plugging along with the martial arts skills, but at 42, I took the www.realage.com test and came up with age 29. I'd rather be training more and working less, but like everyone, my kids, family, and most of all my wife need me to be a provider rather than the next Inside Kung Fu cover boy. I dont feel too bad about that. I'd like to see how others manage family, training, health, and fitness.
