Do 3 work sets, 2 warm-up sets. It will also build neurological efficiency. Most of the great powerlifters, including Ed Caon, do 3 sets of 3 reps for work sets. As for Poliquin and Tsatsouline, you can find them at amazon.com. Granted HIT and power factor training work for some, especially in the beginning, but for the longer term (4-years plus), multiple sets (about 3) of low reps (1-5) seem to build strength the best. That is about 100% to 85% of 1 rep max effort. (Charles Poliquin- The Poliquin principles) Louis Simmons, a man who has coached at least 10 men to the 600lb mark in the bench press, and has his own web site (use search engine), uses multiple sets. So HIT can work, I don't doubt that, but most of the elite powerlifters and Olympic weightlifters use 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps. ------------------------------ From: "Brian Henderson (E-mail)" Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 16:58:55 -0800 Subject: eskrima: Low Stance Development Michael wrote: I have a question regarding building up connective tissue strength such as ligament and tendon strength. I am hoping doing this will make moving in low stances easier as well moving in and out of the crouch when sparring. What are some ways to develop tendon strength and also what do people think the benefits are. Me: Allow me to relate my own experience in training. I have found that many of the Kajukenbo training exercises have greatly enhanced my ability to pass in and out of many variations of the low crouch stance. Some of these conditioning exercises are as follows: Square Horse Stance, (legs apart about a two feet more than shoulder width, and then sit on an imaginary horse or chair); cross horse stance, (similar to square horse stance but with one leg crossed in front of the other); Snake stance, (a very deep side horse, similar to a "largo-mano" or fencing lunge). Each stance should be held for a minimum of 15 seconds. Cycle through this sequence until you experience muscle fatigue. You may also want to try "Duck Walks". To do these, you get down in to a crouch or squat, and walk forward, backward and side-ways in this position until muscle fatigue sets in. If you do this several times a week, you should find your self getting lower, and working out longer. It worked for me many years ago, perhaps it will work for you! God bless you all! <>< Sifu Brian T.

That organization existed not to compete with the United States IMAF, but to supplement it. However, the Can-Am Chapter did allow me to use my skills and contacts to spread the Professor's art, unfettered by any constraints created by the existing hierarchy in the IMAF. Ultimately, both Chapters of the IMAF served the goal of expanding the art of Modern Arnis, as taught by Professor Remy Presas. There has been a momentous change in leadership in the United States Chapter of the International Modern Arnis Federation, and I wish to congratulate Dr. Randy Schea and Mr. Jeff Delaney on their promotions. As the recognized leaders of the IMAF, I am confident that they will continue to guide both the Federation and the system of Modern Arnis into greater prominence and success. Due to the reduced role forced upon Professor Presas by his illness, I fear that there will no longer be his strong unifying presence to connect the two organizations. At this time, I believe that it is best for the Can-Am Chapter of the International Modern Arnis Federation to distinguish itself. Therefore, I am changing the name of my organization to the World Modern Arnis Alliance. This new organization will continue to serve the goals for which it was originally established: to promote the art of Modern Arnis, to foster creative development within the framework developed by Professor Presas, and to standardize the credentials of those individuals who have dedicated themselves to its study. As did the IMAF Can-Am, the WMAA will give me the freedom to explore and interpret the Professor's art, flavored by my other experiences in the Filipino and Malaysian martial arts. Professor has always urged every one of his students to master his techniques and make them their own. The constant exploration of the art is not limited to Professor's own research and development. "The more you practice, the more you will see", remains a fundamental theme in his seminars. I have always strived to maintain a balance between teaching the Professor's techniques verbatim, and applying his underlying concepts in different ways. While my curriculum may carry more innovation and outside influences than some other instructors, I believe that I have been true to Professor's system, as evidenced by the 19 black belt instructors that have been trained by me, and certified by the Professor. The WMAA will continue to teach Remy Presas' Modern Arnis concepts, with an emphasis on certain dimensions. My current curriculum spotlights the stick fighting roots found in Balintawak, the Filipino empty hand techniques in American Kenpo Karate and the combative intensity of Burmese Bando. Each of these arts shares themes with Professor's system, each leads to endless possibilities. In no way do I intend to sever my ties to the IMAF. In my 18+ years with that organization, I made many valued friends and developed a great deal of respect for the skills of its members and instructors. I will attend IMAF events, and I will encourage my members to do the same. Of course, I will treasure new material from Professor Presas whenever possible. My intentions are to introduce Modern Arnis to martial artists who may not be reached by the IMAF, and to explore the wonderful framework developed by Professor. I believe that this art is great enough to be spread, enjoyed, and celebrated by these two parallel organizations in the spirit of fellowship and brotherhood fostered by the Professor. My best wishes are with Dr. Schea and Mr. Delaney, as they carry the system that has meant so much to me since 1982. Finally, I look forward to training with you, the martial artists of Modern Arnis.

As some of the network administrators on the list know, I have three advanced technical certifications. I have placed my resume on monster.com and scored over 300 hits. Some legitimate offers have come in although many headhunters have contacted me just to "talk". I have martial arts listed as a hobby on my resume and was wondering if anyone thinks this may scare away potential employers. Any personnel directors out there? In discussing the question with my instructor MG Nate Defensor, another network administrator, he did not feel that it has hindered his marketability. What do you think out there in Eskrimaland? Do you feel mainstream corporate America knows about the benefits of martial arts training in self-discipline, leadership, etc., or does it look at us as a bunch of survival militia types? Use it or loose it on the resume? - ------------------------------------------- See you in the sticks, Dale MCP, MCP+I, MCSE www.kalieskrima.com - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2001 21:32:04 PST Subject: eskrima: . ------------------------------ End of Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V8 #15 *************************************** 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.
