Several years ago one of my students gave me 4 trainers. They look a lot like the Al Marr knifes but they have a "wick" for lack of a better word, that runs the entire length of both sides. You chalk the wick and it becomes very graphic as to who cuts whom! Mine are getting a bit worse for wear and I can't find them anywhere. Any help is most appreciated!

I spent the weekend at a model mugging course put on by a local chapter of IMPACT. This is a nationwide non-profit group that puts on self-defense courses for men, women and teens. They teach the interview process that occurs with potential attackers, how to defuse a situation and how to defend oneself when the attack can not be verbally stopped. It is a very intense and intensive course. The one I took was for a long weekend altho 5 week courses exist as well. The courses are separated into men and women as the approach to attackers is different depending on the gender of the approached person. Males who attack males are looking to provoke a fight and so push at the target. Men are taught how to give way and back down so as to defuse the situation if possible with words. Males who attack females are looking for the opposite target type. They want someone they can intimidate and who will back down and give control to them. So, women are taught how to stand their ground and make their opinions heard and firmly. The muggers are in 6 inch padding all over and the techniques taught are ones we all possess already, even those of us with no MA training, which is why it is so successful. Knees, elbows, palm strikes, eye strikes, and full commitment to the situation. Unlike some MA where the kicks and techniques take years to make ones own, these few techniques are easy to teach to non-MA. It was amazing to see the difference in attitude and fighting from day one to 3. The participants were not ready to take on the world but the men in the mugging suits were going all out, and you could see how the skills taught in the weekend course were being used successfully. They had graduates of classes in the past, some 3 years ago, who participated in the graduation muggings, and these people did the same techniques and were also successful. The northern Ca chapters in the Bay area (BAMM) and in Sacramento (CCMM) offer courses on weekends, and during the week. Basics, intro, advanced, reviews, and multiple plus weapon assailant classes. Anyone interested in learning more, pls. feel free to contact me. This is not an advertisement, it is simply an option which I wanted to let people know about who are concerned about their safety, have past incest or rape situations, or who feel unsafe in their world. I recommend it highly, as it gives you an opportunity to test out all out power on padded attackers, and not have to pull techniques or pretend to aim at the groin, eyes, neck etc. It was a real confidence booster for me. sincerely, Spunky ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2001 8:39:53 PST Subject: eskrima: . ------------------------------ End of Inayan_Eskrima/FMA-Digest V8 #486 **************************************** To unsubscribe from the eskrima-digest send the command: unsubscribe eskrima-digest -or- unsubscribe eskrima-digest your.old@address in the BODY (top line, left justified) of a "plain text" e-mail addressed to majordomo@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com.
