Hello, Would anyone mind recommending protective eye wear? I'm interested in stuff that protects from face thrusts from knives as well as something that's strong enough to deal with sticks. The raquetball glasses don't seem to be quite right. Although they're pretty good, they don't seem to cover the training knife thrust I worry about: a horizontal or upward thurst that glances off a cheek bone and travels to the eye socket. In fact, some of the raquetball glasses seem to have air slots under the eyes that may even guide such thrusts right into my eye ball. I'm probably more interested in workshop-style suggestions than in helmets that provide full head coverage. Thank you. ------------------------------ From: "IESA" Date: Sun, 07 May 2000 19:36:45 -0800 Subject: eskrima: titles and information Dear Jim (HAV2BNU) et al. First things first, please do not refer to Maha Guro Sultan Uddin by his old name (Kimball). He does not recognize that name anymore and any reference to it he considers disrespectful. He chooses his Muslim name when being addressed. We currently have a few items in the works (books, etc.) that will map out his accomplishments in the Martial Arts. This list will answer most of the questions about his credentials.

As is too often the case, the fancier the title the more impressed the potential student. Maja Guro Panglima = High Teacher Fifth, of probably Fifth level high teacher. How often do you see the title "Professor" used in the MA? Check out thier credentials to see if they actually got a degree in whatever to justify the title, and you'll see most can't come out with squat. Can you imagine going to a job interview in a fortune 500 company stating that you have a Phd. and insist you be called Doctor? When they check your educational background they find that the "Doctorate" was self given because your family has a background in Business and you feel entitled to the degree? They'll either think you're crazy or a quack conman, any similarities?
