I know it's kind of a wierd question. Has anyone ever heard of an individual repelling a mountain lion with a stick or a folding knife? Do these animals cower (as most dogs do) when they see a human carrying or swinging a piece of wood? A small female friend of mine is a competitive marathoner and trains in California hills, home of the mountain lion. About once a year, I hear of a lion attacking a human. Some people have been killed or seriously injured. Many laughs welcome, but I'm asking seriously. ------------------------------ From: "Stephen Lamade" Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 03:27:13 Subject: eskrima: San Miguel Eskrima and Kali Illustrisimo Seminar A glance at my calendar shows me that the Mondays for which this seminar is scheduled may fall on the following dates (instead of those listed on the anouncement): 2/11 2/18 2/25 3/4 3/11 3/18 This promises to be an excellent seminar. A call to 212-475-0037 should clarify the dates in question. Best Wishes, Steve Lamade San Miguel Eskrima _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 20:37:44 PST Subject: eskrima: Ryan Model Seven Just picked up the new CRKT (Columbia River Knife and Tool) Ryan Model Seven folder. A very nice knife! MSRP of $59.99, but I found mine for $30 ($25+$5 S&H). You may even be able to do better. Great feel and heft, good size. And the LAWKS blade lock system is super. A marketing description of the model follows. See it at http://www.crkt.com/ryansevn.html Ray Ryan's Model Seven was inspired by the Filipino barong. A deep finger choil gives exceptional grip, and the deep bellied blade provides superior cutting power. Knife build is our strong InterFrame construction, with dual 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking, and 6061 T6 hard anodized aluminum back spacer. Torx fasteners are used throughout. The black textured Zytel scales are skeletonized in Ryan's trademark aggressive zig-zag pattern, for exceptional grip with less weight. This is a work tool that grips you back. The blade, of tough AUS 6M stainless steel, is ground to leave maximum metal at the blade center for strength. It is available in Razor-Sharp and Combination Triple-Point Serrated and Razor-Sharp edges. Deep thumb grooves aid grip. It pivots on Teflon bearings. Special massive oversized dual thumb studs are instantly available. To provide the maximum in security, we have incorporated the patented Lake And Walker Knife Safety (LAWKS), which effectively makes the Model Seven folder into a fixed blade when engaged. A custom removable Teflon plated stainless steel clothing/gear clip completes the Model Seven package. Blade: Overall length: 3.50" (8.9 cm) Cutting edge: 3.38" (8.6 cm) Thickness: 0.12" (0.30 cm) Steel: AUS 6M, 55-57 HRC Handle: Closed length: 4.50" (11.4 cm) Weight: 5.7 oz. (162 g) ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 20:54:12 PST Subject: Re: eskrima: Most important lesson...? The most important lesson.?. The one I learned from my first Taekwondo instructor. Be wary of those that attempt to build themselves up by simply tearing others down. The best way to make yourself look good is to help others look and perform their best.

I remember reading a summary of a previous seminar by Dr. Gyi and it sounds very interesting. Interesting or not though its unlikely I'll be able to get to the states any time soon (UK based). Are there any introductory manuals or videos available at all? Look forward to your replies.
