Because the show is on-demand, all episodes are accessible to the audience at any time by clicking on http://www.fromUSAlive.com/MartialArts. Blaine Frank and Scott Pickett, hosts of the show, have over 40 years combined experience in Martial Arts. Police officers, military personnel, and athletes are among their students at Integrated Karate Systems in Pittsburgh, PA. In a recent three-part episode of Serenity Dragon: Martial Arts, Scott and Blaine demostrate Kali techniques. Kali is a complex combat system from the Philippines that mainly uses a stick or knife for attack and defense, but is also transferable to the hand. In these segments, Blaine and Scott demonstrate and explain basic strikes, five angles of attack and their defenses, footwork, and balance in this high-impact discipline. Also covered this month is Wing Chun, a simple but effective style of open-hand Kung Fu, and the importance of getting someone into the trapping range. Scott and Blaine discuss and demonstrate Pak Sao, or "slapping hands," and Lop Sao, which means "pulling hands." They show the proper methods of "step sliding," the footwork used to close the distance between opponents. Coming soon to Serenity Dragon: Martial Arts is a segment on women's self defense. Blaine and Scott will demonstrate what women should do if attacked, and describe the best ways to quickly disable an opponent to enable a quick escape. ------------------------------ From: "Jeff T.

You could do a lot worse than to just have your students practice occasionally by hitting with power with their off-hand, using a single stick. Even if they have no patterns, they will develop the knowledge that it is possible to hit with either hand. That, I think, will do them a lot more good than learning patterns. Perhaps even a bit of sparring using their off-hand. Not as effective, maybe, but, again, they'll have the body knowledge that it is possible to use their off-hand. *Then* the patterns may start to have some meaning, and I agree with you about things like Cobb Cobb (or however it's spelled) over the heaven/earth mixtures, as starting points.

ABC using patterns is just one tool. For some that is their primary tool. For most it is the primary tool until they spend enough time learning to break the mold and flowing at the appropriote moment. Thus one may use only an effective, at the moment, piece of Lacoste 8 and not flail the other 3 strokes wasting motion and allowing a good opponant to time you and take advantage. This is still using patterns 5/8 stokes if that is your intention and thought in your head. It is not using a pattern if that is not your intension and perhaps the lead into the 5 stokes was a hand imobilization and 5 solid efective hits. Regards, Carlton H. Fung,D.D.S.

I'm familiar with Villabrille 8 count and 16 count, but not 10 count. Could you describe it? Another system that has some interesting siniwalli patterns is Doce Pares. They've got everything from 4 to 10 (or is it 12) counts. Some of them start in the open position as well. Regards, Mike - -- Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.
