Are you saying to do this AFTER the self defense act? That's crazy. The "doctor bill" will have a date on it, as will any other computerized records they keep. PROOF that you tried to mislead the law, at least. If you already told your story, it'll be proof you lied. Please don't do this. jester ------------------------------ From: rudolf@kimbel.net Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2001 14:48:58 +0100 Subject: eskrima: Maybe not Crafty woofed: >I would put it like this: As a practical matter, in some/many >jurisdictions the cane carry may not PROactively be illegal, but >RETROactively after its use as a weapon become so.

If you had to defend yourself, let somebody do a nice smack to your leg with a stick. See the doctor next day and have him treat it. Keep the doctor's bill as proof of your need for the cane.If the cops didn't undress you and take pictures, they won't prove the opposite.

I enjoyed the Bob Bass/Rick Williams tapes alot Cons of this set:: the 8 minute intro and then 8 minute ending is counted as part of the tape, so a 55 minute tape is really about 30 minutes of instruction (counting interviews and other misc) stuff, and some of the interviews repeat themselves. Pros: In that 30 minutes of instruction there are alot of concepts shown. Take the time to watch one or two techniques and then train those techniques upping your resistance. There are 12 tapes in the set, so make it a goal to train one tape a week, then repeat, I guarantee that in 6 months your skill level will be fairly close to a Blue Belt level. Another Pro, the instruction is clear and easy to understand. A must have series. I also enjoyed the Pedro Carvahol (sp) tapes, most of the tapes however are only 30 minutes long. I also enjoyed the Wallid Ismael series from Panther...not the prettiest technique but effective...plus you have to love Wallid's expressions :) The Mario Sperry Master Series 1 and 2 are quite good.....losts of good stuff there. The Renzo/Kukuk first series was great for its time, but the opinion is that most of the stuff has evolved. Just my opinions, Woof! Alvis W. Solis Hound Dog!

Peace Yvonne ------------------------------ From: T2J2M2@cs.com Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 17:02:51 EST Subject: eskrima: Re: Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V8 #3 From what I have read from Charles Poliquin and Pavel Tsatsouline, lifting should only increase your fighting abilities, so long as you are intelligent about it. That means, no gloves (Better grip and feel for the weight), no belts (This actually weakens your back, and makes a hernia more likely. The belt does the job your back and abdominals should do), no wrists wraps (They will toughen, trust me), and no running shoes (the cushioning disrupts foot stability). Avoid using any machines or single joint exercises. You are not in rehab. Lifting your opponent won't be like a universal machine, but more like a half full barrel of water. He won't cooperate. Besides, a machine may make you look pretty, but its like putting racing stripes on a Yugo, all show and no go. Do 5 rep of 5 sets. 2 warm up, and 3 work sets. I would do squats, deadlifts, benches or another pressing movement, and bent-over rows of pull-ups. You can do weighted dips instead of presses, and some form of abdominal movement. And remember the old saying of strength trainers, "Anything over 6 reps is bodybuilding." You should want to be stronger than you look, than look stronger than you are. ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Wed, 03 Jan 2001 20:13:10 PST Subject: eskrima: . ------------------------------ End of Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V8 #4 ************************************** To unsubscribe from the eskrima-digest send the command: unsubscribe eskrima-digest -or- unsubscribe eskrima-digest your.old@address in the BODY of an email (top line, left justified) addressed to majordomo@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com.
