Do you know Dave Wink ? He is currently in Frederick, MD area and apparently has a close relationship with GM Gaje and Eric Knauss. Hit me privately if so. Also, I went to Rockland Community College. How far are you from Suffern, NY. Thanks, Ken McD... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

As one of his first students at Columbia University, I can vouch for his sincerity, skill and continous search for the truth in everything he undertook. Yes, Tuhon Gaje had an influence on all of us in PT but it was Tom who left the greatest impression on me. To this day I still do several of the drills he showed us in Morningside Park almost 25 years ago. My thanks to you, Tom.

His correct name is Jeff Ward and I remember when he told me in Tom's class that his goal was to have a career in the film industry. Tuhon Bill is right that Jeff has had a good working relationship with Wesley Snipes. Some of Jeff's experience includes: Taimak's double in the Last Dragon A Boxer in Streets of Gold (Wesley Snipes first major film - I think) Stunt coordinator for the TV series N.Y. Undercover and Wesley Snipes last action film, the Art of War Respectfully, Al Sardinas Student of Garimot System of Arnis ------------------------------ From: "Martin Diggins" Date: Fri, 4 May 2001 14:21:03 +0100 Subject: FW: eskrima: Joint strengthening exercises (fwd) I'm an office worker and spend pretty much all my time at a desk in front of a PC - I train in Aiki Jujutsu with guys who are builders, gardeners or carpenters, guys who work with their hands all the time. Can anyone suggest joint strengthening exercises I could try to keep up with these guys ! My elbows and wrists just can't take the same level of punishment that these guys can - I don't want them to ease off with me (after all, in a self defence situation a potential assailant is hardy likely to be gentle !) and I really enjoy the complexities of the system (Kaze Arashi Ryu) and would like to stick with it. Any suggestions ?
