Brian, As for recommendations in the Chicago area, I would recommend Nate Defensor, you can find detailed information on Guro Nate and his schools in the Chicago area at the following WebPage http://www.wwa.com/~guronate/. Nate has been my chief instructor for the last 6 years, he has a very extensive background and provides excellent instruction. Nate can also give you more information regarding other schools in the Chicago area if you seek more variety. Hope this helps Steve Yarnall, Frederick, MD.

Hi folks, I joined the list a month or so ago to lurk and hopefully learn a thing or three (I don't have any experience with FMA). I am going to be up in the Chicago area for about 3 months this summer for a naval rating school and thought I might try to broaden my experience a bit. Are there any "Must-see" schools/teachers of Philipino martial arts in the Windy City? What would interest me in visiting most are traditional, high-quality programs, preferably with an excellent reputation within the FMA community (assuming such exist in the upper Midwest) . On another note, when I go around looking at the instructors mentioned on the List's site at www.martialartsresource.com what sort of thing should I being careful to watch for in visiting classes? Are there any dead giveaway practices that I should look for to tell if an instructor lacks martial authenticity? What sort of repetitive drills have the list members found most crucial for proper development in the first half year to 2 years? (BTW I have read the escrima FAQ . I am holding off on the book/video thing till I have a chance to see some of the Filipino stuff in person..keeping an empty cup and all:) regards, brian ------------------------------ From: Rocky Pasiwk Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2000 18:27:42 -0500 Subject: eskrima: Ray's right WOW!!! > FMAs highly popular (well, sorta :) thru > influencing the Gajes, Inays, Largusas, Inosantos, Presas, Sulites, Bustillos, > etc. IMHO the first group and their contemporaries of the first group are > the ones that got us to where we are now > Never really thought of it that way, but I think your right, it aint to often, but your right.

At least I would probably still be here, maybe not so many others.?. >Ray Terry IMO, the big deal about Presas or Inosanto is that they were best at selling their FMA. If you need to make them your gods, happily kneel down. If you want to learn something real, other low profile teachers might be more appealing. In the end, what you learned is what your teacher was, not whow many worshiped him. You can't be a master after a seminar, or a year, or maybe a lifetime. ------------------------------ From: "Jeff Allen" Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:19:30 -0600 Subject: eskrima: Re: A quote for the T-shirt Someone on the list posted a great quote credited to Bob Orlando...a long = time: "A warrior my choose pacifism, others are condemmed to it." This quote struck the right cord with me and would fit well with a graphic on one side of a shirt. By the way --- it's still posted in my = office.

Oh, never mind... >> With all due respect, what in the world does this comment mean? Is this a strange in-joke or something? I am extremely confused, would someone care to explain? A naval rating school is the navy version of the army's MOS (military occupational specialty) schools..just a place they send the enlisted people to learn to do a given job or "rating". Nothing special, just a way to get college money and job experience, and travel and train of course (of course!!) bewildered regards, brian ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 18:06:31 -0800 (PST) Subject: [none] ------------------------------ End of Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V7 #43 *************************************** To unsubscribe from the eskrima-digest send the command: unsubscribe eskrima-digest -or- unsubscribe eskrima-digest your.old@address in the BODY of an email (top line, left justified) addressed to majordomo@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com.
