BAD MOVE ! It seems like a soap opera to me, I miss 40 or so issues and when I get back the same old Datu debate is going on. I've been lurking here for about 5 years and frankly, this is getting boring. Here is my synopsis: Mr. Hartman made a joke. Mr de Leon didn't get it. Mr. Westbrook has some personal ax to grind with Mr. Hartman. This is old. Mr. Westbrook why do you feel compelled to pick apart every post Mr. Hartman writes. This forum is supposed to be an open exchange of views but frankly one of the reasons I don't post often is because I see an awful lot of the personal vendettas that you seem to engage in. There are a lot of people with good information and opinions on this list. I want to hear them all. Some I like, some I don't and a lot of them I'm indifferent to. I gotta tell ya ... your negative posts follow everything Mr. Hartman contributes are about as predictable as the sunrise and nowhere near as pleasant. As for Mr. Hartman's endorsement by Professor Presas: I personally heard the professor ask Mr. Hartman to teach his son Joseph. That speaks volumes to me. I have personally heard FROM THE PROFESSOR on numerous occasions that he supports Tim Hartman and anything he is doing. If you don't like Mr. Hartman ... OK. The "Masters of Tapi - Tapi" are all competent teachers of Modern Arnis. I personally think Chuck Gauss from Michigan is the best of that group but that's just an opinion. Can we let this die before I waste another day. I've got laundry to do. Paul O'Grady ps Mr. Westbrook, my father has been disgruntled since the catholic church stopped saying mass in Latin. How do you think he would feel about the "Archbishop" thing. Is that a joke or an insult ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I just saw it again yesterday, and trust me, nobody can show >Filipino martial arts worse than Filipino movie makers. The movie was Hello I'd like to delurk and make my contribution if that's OK. Another aweful FMA film made by Filipino people is something called "To Kill a Guru". I haven't actually seen the film, but the trailer was enough to make me cringe. 1) The stick defenses are daft, seem to be novice level, and done at half the speed which my teacher manages when he's tired and can't be bothered to do it quickly. 2) The empty hands stuff was just a few standard Karate kicks, but done poorly. 3) There were more, but I'm too lazy to list them.
