Well not major cut only minor cut, to arm, finger, knee and legs. After a while the blade is feel like stick only that you can twirl and play with it and le it be part of your body. Gat Puno Abon "Garimot" Baet << How many of ya'll out there in ED-land have done live blade training? If you have, was anyone cut (more than a lite scratch)? >> ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 21:08:12 PST Subject: eskrima: Live blade training > That fear is what I am going to teach him to use to rip the knifer's head > off in two moves.

In the heat of an adrenaline rush I've seen and/or personally experienced situations where what one would typically think was a killing move did nothing more than PO the person even more. And this is even wrt the use of firearms. As just one (extreme) example think Platt & Matix and their FBI encounter in Miami back in '86.

I have also read about a few organizations working to get Muay Thai into the Olympics as well. That would also make for some interesting viewing. Now, if we could just get synchronized basket weaving and the like out of The Olympics to make room for more interesting SPORTS. William Schultz PCMA/MCAC ------------------------------ From: "william schultz" Date: 16 Feb 2001 20:49:25 -0800 Subject: eskrima: Hard woods Greetings, I was talking to a guy who runs an small lumber mill that specializes in exotic hardwoods about staffs and sticks. He has an MA background and has tried many different types of woods for making and selling MA related weapons. He seems explained that he likes to use Purple heart for his fighting staffs and recommended using Vera (sp?) wood for making Eskrima sticks. He claimed that the fibers in Vera wood sort of weave together as it grows making it extremely strong and impact resistant. I was just wondering if anyone on the list has tried it before? If so, how did it hold up? What about Purple Heart for that matter? William Schultz PCMA/MCAC ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 21:51:46 PST Subject: eskrima: Hard woods Re Vera wood... Vera Wood or Maracaibo Lignum Vitae. Originally from Columbia and Venezuela. Now also grows in South Florida.
