Herrman) --__--__-- Message: 1 From: dragonbm@telusplanet.net To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 14:20:41 GMT Subject: [Eskrima] Your New Buddy "Bob" Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Mike, We have had a Wavemaster for a few years, and in the last year we to bought a BOB. So far we found that, yes they do fall over rather easily, but if you fill the base with sand, and coming from Campbell River that shouldn't be to hard to find, at least 3/4 of the way up the neck of the base, you will find it much more stable. Fine sand is the best. Also, watch for the attaching lugs in BOB's back, we found that that may detatch and then BOB becomes loose on the mounting. Have fun, Brent May Black Dragon Kempo Calgary, Ab --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 08:35:39 -0800 From: "C. Herrman" To: Subject: [Eskrima] Training with "BOB" Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net >Does anyone else have experience with Bob and can give advice how to enrich the training repertoir? 1) Try putting "BOB" in clothing. A gi top with belt, a t-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, etc. 2) If you have a partner and 1 or 2 foam blockers or padded sticks they can stand behind "BOB" & feed strikes which you block, parry, evade, etc. and counter on "BOB". This is also a good way to check your cover and make sure you're getting in and out of range effectively. Have Fun!
