The other day (for no particular reason) I started to wonder how many "Natural" tools does the human body have that can be used as weapons? So I started to break it down and list what I came up with. (1) Head (head buts) (1) Mouth (biting) (2) Shoulders (in fighting/standing grapple) (2) Elbows (2) Forearms (I considered a Kwai Sao as the end of the forearm. One could argue that it is using the wrist) (2) Hands/Fists (2) legs (kicking) (2) Knees (2) Feet (trapping) A friend pointed out that you could also count the hips (2) for bumping and throwing. That gives us a grand total of 18. Any to add? Any you don't feel should be listed? Now, are these tools or weapons? One might argue that they are just tools and the real weapon is the human brain/mind that puts them into action. A stick, knife, or gun are also tools that only become dangerous after being put into action by the brain.

I will be teaching street knife fighting and pentjak silat. Other instructors will be covering other topics as well. If you can't make this one, I should be back to Sweden again in October/November.

How different would Mr. Umpad's approach to knife fighting be to, say, that of Mr. Balicki or Mr. Inosanto. Just curious. Thanks.

I recieved the following email and don't know England well enough to help this guy out. Maybe someone on the list can. Thanks, Tuhon Bill McGrath My name is Joe Budd, I live on the outskirts of West London, England and am looking for any Filipino martial arts in my area. I am particularly interested in knife work. My background in the martial arts has been five years in Ju Jitsu and two years of Full-contact kick-boxing. I would really like to get into Fillipino martial arts but have had no luck finding anyone near me. I would like to know of any good clubs or experienced people who can teach me and would train with me.
