You may find some books at http://stadion.com/ . I'm not sure if they're what you're looking for. I'm interested in the same topic, so let me know if you find some better references. At some point, you'll have to check into rehab to kick your dependency on the stopwatch and calendar. :) ------------------------------ From: "Scott Kinney" Date: Wed, 01 Aug 01 07:49:06 +0000 Subject: eskrima: Re: Interval Training question Rafael, First, if you're looking for a program that's already laid out for you; I'd recommend two sources: "Max VO2" from Health for Life. "Be a Better Runner" (or something close) by Bill Squires The "Max VO2" book gives you a pretty good analytic breakdown of how to structure intervals; the ratio between sprint and jog times (or work to rest), how to gauge (by resting pulse measures) whether you are overtraining, or can progress to the next level of intensity. Your mileage may vary, but I found (when I was sparring regularly; medium-contact kickboxing, point-sparring) that interval runs of 1.5 minutes sprint followed by 1.5 minutes jog (8 - 10 times) stood me in good stead. Having said that, mixed sparring (stick, knife, kickbox, grapple) is much more demanding, and I'm increasing my intervals accordingly. I generally don't increase the sprint time by more than 10 seconds at a shot, usually only 5. Overtraining is so easy with very intense intervals that I'm very conservative in my planning. You might also consider getting an interval timer (as used in boxing gyms), I count it as one of my best training equipment purchases next to a heavy bag. Set your 3 minute round, but add a 'burn' interval of 20 - 40 seconds at the end where you throw flurries of punches & kicks & elbows & knees or whatever, then take a modest rest interval of 25 - 30 seconds. While I think your goal of a 3-minute sprint is pretty fierce and admirable, I think you'll find that it's more conditioning than you'll need to be successful (unless you're sparring with professionals......). Also, in my reading, sparring may not require intervals like 3 minutes full-on, then 6 minutes rest... so much as 1 minute full on and 30 seconds rest. the reasoning is that sparring basically requires very brief periods of extremely intense work, and the ability to get your wind back quickly. Hope this helps.....   - -------------------------------------------------- Scott Kinney Project Manager sakinney@ix.netcom.com - -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: "Mike aka Shugendo" Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 13:53:18 +0000 Subject: eskrima: Re: Dr. Maung Gyi To all: I have been contacted back channel by a number of people and I thought that this would be the best way to respond to the various comments, complaints, criticisms and just plain BS. I made the previous post with a heavy heart and not without considerable forethought. I have trained with Dr. Gyi and greatly enjoyed the experience. I have broken bread with the man and listened intently to his stories and philosophical musings. I respect the technical and critical knowledge that he shares in regards to Bando and other arts that he teaches. My concern is the fabricated military and academic credentials that he presents as an integral part of his expertise. If the disinformation was minor exaggeration I could condone or even be amused by it; in this case there is no way to overlook the obvious. As for Dr. Gyi's accusers being anonymous... I seem to be able to contact them quite easily via several web sites i.e. - http://www.pownetwork.org/phonies/phonies33.htm http://www.phonyveterans.com/Gyi.html As for this being a smear campaign against Dr. Gyi... check out the web site and others like it. These are dedicated (and decorated ) vets who are out to expose frauds who are making outrageous and erroneous claims for their own benefit. As for Dr. Gyi being too old to get on the Net... the fastest growing population on the Net is the 55 and older crew (us baby boomers are getting a little long in the tooth). BTW - I'm not looking for a flame war or a fight here. I'm just greatly disappointed with this situation and want others to be informed. I know that there are people out there (one person in particular) that have been completely snowballed by Dr. Gyi and I want to make sure that they are not damaged by the s#@t-storm that will eventually surround him.

A real expression of what I've tried to say and have probably said so poorly. An objective view is not ethno-tribo-centric at all, but centered on discovering and comprehending the truth. Gotta thank Jose for his contribution here. Our advancement ain't should focus on the best of what we all have to contribute. What a dream, eh? As a very "Eurocentric" coworker once told me re: the history of the America's ... "History is the story written by those who won." That was real smart (not) after my heartfelt discussion of the true and false stories told about Native Americans and Blacks in the Americas. Kinda reminds me of the end of "Pearl Harbor" where the narration says that America never saw a defeat again in WWII after Pearl Harbor. H'mm ... I bet the Japanese just luvved that (or maybe it was cut from the Japanese release :-) OK, I'm offa this and back to FMA. Anybody care to comment about Keating's videos Unarmed and Dangerous?

From one of the phony vet websites: "Dr. Maung Gyi is a world class Martial Artists with his hands, feet, sticks, knives or anything else he can get his hands on. However, he has grossly misrepresented this Military Combat Service History simply to enlarge his personal ego and to impress young students..." It seems that his claims are rather Dux-ian in nature (ala Frank Dux). However, unlike Dux, Gyi appears to be an excellent martial artist.
