One from an employer or school official, one from clergy, and one from a close friend. We keep these on file as a CYA thing in case of any litigation on down the road. On the application we ask if the applicant has ever been convicted of a felony. We started doing this after the trend developed to sue bartenders who served someone who was later involved in an accident, etc. But the best way I have found is observation of the student, especially in a sparring situation. In the old days, my instructor would let you train for a few months then take you out drinking in the rougher side of New Orleans. The guys that had three beers and became "Super Martial Arts Man" kind of disappeared from class. Of course in these days of PC that's not an option is it? "walk softly, carry a big stick ....and know how to use it." Bear ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2001 15:11:59 PST Subject: eskrima: Martial Soft ?
