It is the 23rd of December here and the temperature is in the low 80's at 0730 am. I will be thinking of you all that are in the snow and freezing while I am sitting on the beach and waiting on the Y2K fiasco to hit us earlier than you kind people on the mainland. So, If you don't hear from me by the 2nd of January 2000, you will all know that Guam has slipped off into the Marianas Trench in celebration.

He practices several arts at his school, including FMA. I believe he has trained under Guro Inosanto and the Inosanto blend is among the arts at his school (his card also lists judo, karate, savate, aikido and ju-jitsu). He attended my 97 knife seminar in Vegas and seemed like a nice guy and a competent practitioner. >> I'd like to second this suggestion. My instructor and I visited Mr. Gentile's school while we were in Vegas. He's a good guy and a good martial artist. His stickwork is decent, but his grappling skills are where he really shines. Along with the arts listed by Tuhon McGrath, Mr. Gentile is also a Sambo player. Happy holidays from Dayton, Ohio Regards, Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

There is really very little difference in technical application, methodology, rhythm, and energy between true karate and the FMA. Bruce Lee himself said it best..."There are only so many ways to throw a punch without deviating from the natural course." About the only difference I have been able to discern is the emphasis placed on the progression in teaching certain things...karate has De Lineas and Gunting, for example, but these aren't introduced until around Black Belt level (these "techniques" are present in kyu level kata, but aren't emphasized until later).

As a speaker of American English, I rather enjoy hearing the German accent. Your overdubs are much cleaner than the typical live narration by video instructors. Jokingly, it would be funny to hear a German accent say "I grow weary of all of this fighting. Now, we dance." and finish with some Euro techno music and see a room of thin Europeans dressed in Kraftwerk costumes. > Dieter wrote: > But perhaps I can do something different in the future, if my voice with the germany accent is really > annoying many of the customers. I enjoy your current production. It would be nicer to have more titling to help distinguish technique sequences during fast forwarding. Also, it would be nice to include lists of techniques for those learning, say, Serrada counters. I did spend a lot of time writing down all of the counters. But, all of the effort would cost a lot. Your current production is a great deal. > Is it ok the way I dub, or should I have an native english speaking person doing the dubbing? > If you whis an english speaking person, please point out why.
