Man, I only wish I "knew" the awnsers. I am searching to refine what I think about. I've only been on the list about for a little less than a year, I think, so I didn't catch the last thread about it. I'll search the archives. Personally, I see where it has it's similarities to the "power vs. footwork" and "attacking vs. blocking" ("yin vs. yang")which again has no point in arguing because there is no one "ultimate" way for all and is probably best to have both. I really think the same goes for this topic. My question to the list is not so much as which is better, but what are the thoughts on the subject. I would like to think of myself as a technician and have always kind of prided myself in being "technically" correct, most of the time, under pressure. In my fights with Kalani, I found it to be a lot harder to do this because he has a very high level of aggression, IMO, and definetly hits very hard. Twice, he took skin from my arm, the pic is on the web site under the Picture Gallery, 12-26-00 battle(that was his Christmas present to me). A little bit of history here, and this is somthing Kalani will probably be hearing for the first time: When I first started training, there were two other students that I looked up to as "leaders" in the class. Kalani and Tennesen. At that time, in my eyes, I saw that Kalani could make things work. I also saw that Tennessen had excellent body mechanics and flow. However, I also thought that Tennessan was to soft and thought that Kalani was too hard for my likings. From the beginning I aimed to become somewhere between the two. Tennessan taught me the mechanics of deflections, empty hand, etc., and Kalani taught me how to deal with pressure. Paul Vunak also has a very small pamphlet and audio cassette speaking about killer instinct that I found to be very interesting, and definetely worth the cost for anyone that has never heard it before. I would actually like to put it up on my website, but I don't think I can, hmm maybe I'll ask Paul and see, anyways...It goes somthing to the point of being analytical from the outside, getting the reaction you want to close, and once you start closing, you let the "killer instinct"(beast out of the bag) loose in trapping range. If you go into grappling, you go back to being calculative. Of, course, this was Paul's outlook some years back, and it dealt with empty hands, but it was some very good reading/listening material. On the other side of aggressiveness, I feel it also covers(morally) the intent to take someone out. I don't believe in fighting, IMO, it is not always the best option, but on the other hand, I will fight for what I do believe in and when this comes up, I will intend to do what needs to be done to take care of the job. Stuart knows as much as I preach to him about taking it easy and controlling temper, there are some buttons on me that I don't like to be touched. >My belief is "calculated agressiveness" which means that you still >have to have control with outward fierceness such that the >opponant "thinks" you are out of control. Good strategy, and how about letting the opponent think you are calculating and then really letting the beast out of the bag. Doc, we always enjoy meeting people from the digest in beautiful Hawaii.

Can anybody out there give me some direction as to where to send him for training? He is very interested in continuing his Doce Pares Eskrima training, though he is open / flexible to try something else as long as the instruction is good and the atmosphere pleasant. Grappling schools are of interest as well! feel free to either respond to the digest or to me directly at grappler@earthlink.net Thanks in advance for your help! Jason M.
