Sinjay, Teaching, yes. Low price ... well that's a matter of perspective. If you can, go to Linxx Academy (Providence Square shopping center). Guro Cucci is an instructor under Dan Insanto. The price to train at Linxx is on par with most MA schools in the Hampton Roads area.

On the web I found three sources (none FMA) Combat Hapkido Grandmaster John Pellegrini "combat cane," Gojo-Shorei weapons system Master Dave McNeill, Cane Masters Master Mark Shuey Sr "Hapkido based I believe." Any opinions or experience with these or knowledge of any FMA incorporating the cane? Respectfully John Hubbard ------------------------------ From: WEE Shin Hoe Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2000 16:22:20 +0800 Subject: eskrima: Re: Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V7 #390 108 heroes to be exact. The book was later re-written by imperial decree so that all the heroes ended up dead or surrendered and served under the Chinese emperor. Sincerely, S. H.

He is one of the greatest writers of Chinese sword-fighting novels. Among his novels are "The Seven Swords of Tian Shan" and "The Heroines of Tian Shan". By the way, is the "All River Red" anthem you are talking about the same as composed by the great Song dynasty general, Yue-Fei? He is supposed to be the founding father of Hing-I Pai. Sincerely, S. H. Wee Are you refering to the novels written > Thanks but nope, Tian Shan it is, as in "Celestial > Mountains". Tian Shan (and Tian Shan Pai) come > from Northern China near the Sino-Soviet border. > Tian Shan Pai, like Fu Jow Pai, Ying Jow Pai, > Lama Pai, etc., is a combat-oriented school. > The late Grandmaster Wang Jiu-Jen was involved in > Mao's war before going to Taiwan.
