You should drink 1/2 ounce of water for each pound of body weight. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should be drinking about 75 ounces of water--about nine 8-ounce glasses each day. To see if you're getting enough water, visit the hydration calculator at water.com. ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com. ------------------------------ From: CAP Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 19:06:18 -0500 Subject: eskrima: Re: Mark Wiley's skills I agree with everything Patrick stated.

Addresses would help. Thanks, Perhaps you could narrow it down to a particular style: balintawak (several branches), Doce Pares (Cacoy or Diony Canete- at least 2 major branches), San Miguel (from Momoy Canete, affiliated with Doce Pares), Black Eagle, Lapunti, Warriors, VICAR (Vicente Carin, affiliated with Doce Pares and Warriors), etc. The list goes on and on. Steve Response: Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Keep in mind that this is a 3 week vacation. Just a basic, good instructor imparting basic knowledge over a limited time period. An instructor noted for imparting instruction in a basic, easy to learn fashion, who is not narcissistic or an ego-maniac. I will figure out what style to focus on later.

They search out the top practitioners in a field to get information from the source. It is not second hand info. They to the work, others get to read and comment about their exploits. I believe Mark is now an instructor in the Illustrisimo (Olistrisimo) system?

This guy said you played some strange game show type of music amongst other stuff!!!!! Man only a New Yorker could get away with that stuff, of course only a New Yorker would have the ball to do it :-) Any ways its good to see PT making a bit of a come back in Mich. Rocky" Hi Roc, You raise an interesting point about what music is appropriate for a martial arts class. I like to play music during class that: 1. Has a rhythm that helps students follow the technique we are working on. 2. Gets them in the right mindset for the techniques we are working on. 3. Helps motivate the students to work repetitions for long periods of time. 4. Does not cause my 39 year old brain to go into anaphylactic shock (NO METALICA!!!) Depending on what we are working on I might play a classical symphony or opera, 70's or 80's dance music, or themes from action movies ("Desporado" is really cool). One fun CD I found was a compilation of TV themes from the 60's and 70's (Batman, Wild Wild West, Peter Gunn, etc), If people's hips are tight during sidestepping drills I try putting on the theme from "Hawaii 5-0" and they often smile and loosen up. And sometimes I just happen to ask a complicated question just before the theme from "Jeopardy" comes on the CD. We often cover some fairly "dark" subjects in weapon training and I find it helps to lighten the mood here and there with some humor. Humans can only sustain an emotion that is as taxing on our system's resources as a combat aggressive mindset for relatively brief periods of time. It helps to think of mental states much like physical states and have a mental as well as a physical warm up and cool down during class. Just as you can't sprint physically all day it is very difficult to hold a chemically and emotionally draining mental state all day. I find that if I vary the mood throughout the day I can have the class do several "sprints" hitting several high points followed by a mental and physical rest, rather than have them hit one big high and then crash.
