I think Amazon.com says August (next month) I am really looking forward to that! By the way, in some of the pictures (demonstrations of angles 1-5, I believe) I am the skinny guy who is shown from the side having the strikes delivered to me by my dad, Serrada Master Ron Saturno, Sr. Heh heh heh, not a bad way to get into the book, don't you agree? Especially for a young up and comer like myself. Mabuhay Ang Eskrima!!!

Would the salt have a better effect? Would table salt or Epsom salt have the same effect as sea water? I have heard of using neat's-foot or linseed oil on hardwoods, but I don't know if this would work well on rattan. An experiment using different soaking mediums would be interesting.

I have just recently relocated to Louisville Kentucky to promote Arnis Balite here for awhile. If anyone knows of any other Filipino Martial Arts around this area it would be appreciated. My site has also moved to http://home.earthlink.net/~kyud/ If anyone has a Filipino seminar or tournament coming up send it to me in private email and I will be more than happy to place it on the events page on the Arnis Balite site. ------------------------------ From: Patrick Davies Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2000 10:34:05 +0100 Subject: eskrima: UK home problem Phil, I presume you are talking about Hoxton. Always been a rough area and apparently is being bought up by big money. If you are not planning to stay for long or you don't own your home the simple suggestion is to move. There is much more to London than that you are experiencing and you should go and enjoy it. Go and chat with Bob as well. He might know some faces in the area which might have a word. For what its worth I have lived in such areas and at times like this you jump at every shadow. I had a young son as well so I was afraid that the threat was greater than it was. One situation (of many)I made war with junkies who had moved into the building and - to be brief - they did threaten me through my son. Different circumstance but they didn't like it when I threw a dustbin through their window and they refused to come out. - all 7 of them. They kept low and eventually were arrested for various affairs and moved away. However I was there before them and your case is different as you are the newcomer. I wouldn't be doing that in your situation Generally kids like this are bored and will maybe take this further or forget about it as they move onto getting high. If you see them as you walk about then you will remind them of the incident. If the police talked with them then you will be a grass and therefore open to attack. The best advice is to stay out of eyeshot for a while. Pretend that you like their football team - should be Arsenal in that area but check with others(that was hard to say coming from a chelsea boy!). Talk with your neighbours and tell them your fears. They might even be able to have words. There was one time I had a fight with a known street fighter while on the door of a club. He ended up losing but turned up living close by me. I was walking past one day in the morning and started talking to him. This really confused him and being sheepish in the morning he was forced to converse. That problem was then solved and although we never became friends we never had a set to with each other again. Yet. Sometimes you have to play the game away from their advantage. If they are drinking its late on in the day so make any discussion when they are sober and you might just get more sence! Don't take them on if you can avoid it and it will fade away. That's not being a coward. Its being sensible. Feel free to mail me any time, not that im an expert or anything! From: Phil Armstrong I just moved to London England and didn't realize I had moved into a ghetto (right near Bob Breen's studio, if anyone knows the area??). snip How would you UKers handle a situation like this? Obviously I don't want to lose a confrontation (and die?) or win a confrontation (and take out 4 kids?) and I can't really afford to move right away pat Aberdeen Martial Arts Group Web site * www.amag.fsbusiness.co.uk ------------------------------ From: "Phil Tong" Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2000 03:20:54 -0700 Subject: eskrima: corrected URL for Alemany Martial Arts Center, SF CA Please allow me to post the correct URL for the school and my apologies for the old dated info before. The current website is http://www.alemanykarate.com/ I don't think the events list has the Oct. seminar w/GM Ernesto Presas but it remains Oct 21-22 Sat-Sun (and sorry for the repeat commercial :) Come to think of it, I missed the Royce Gracie seminar at an affiliate school so there's plenty not listed!
