That leaves your head fuzzy. I prefer being out and waking up wondering why everyone is laughing at me but feeling fresh as a daisy. In fact some people have been choked out while drunk only to wake up feeling sober! >From my doormans days I saw many people who would grab the neck tightly unaware of what they were doing. If this is held for a long period of time then the brain is starved of oxygen and that's where potential problems occur and court cases begin. I have been informed before that this will happen after two minutes and that by simply putting someone out and releasing can take all but six seconds and is safe. Might need to jog the spine a bit to kick everything back into action. Simply sit them up and hold under arms and give a quick shake. Sometimes you might wake up thinking you are somewhere else while everyone is laughing at you having done the funky chicken. Occasionally some have wet themselves in the state of relaxation. Billy Cusack, the Edinburgh based British team coach, does his chokes as if he's trying to rip your head off. The potential to tap out is minuscule.

It was THE FMA event 2002 and a huge success! Everything turned out the way we planned and hoped. Indeed, we not only had the pplanned 250 participants, but 450 !!! FMA enthusiasts came to practice and have fun. It was a terrific crowd coming from the following countries: Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria, England, Sweden, USA and the Philippines. Only one instructor of Pekiti Tirsia did not come due to sickness but whe had another instructor from Sweden to compensate. So we had the planned 18 actually even 19 instructors from all different styles, who presented themselves as one group - most of the best FMA-instructors in Europe (here in alphabetical order without the titles): Joe Balinado, Escrima Bob Dubljanin, Kali/Silat Jeff Espinous, Kali/Sikaran Tom Esser, Lontayao Kali Julio Felices, Felices Family System Thomas Fischer, Tacosa Serrada Raoul Gianuzzi, Lapunti Arnis de Abanico Krishna Godhania, Warrior Escrima Emanuel Hart, Inayan Eskrima Dieter Knüttel, Modern Arnis Wolfgang Müller, Lameco Escrima Udo Müller, Inosanto Kali Percival Pableo, Doce Pares Bernd Schubert, ETF Escrima Johan Skalberg, Suntukan Frans Stroevens, Doce Pares Escrima Stefan Tebbe, EWTO Esktima Jörn Tietge, Talking Sticks Escima Toni Veeck, Balintawak Eskrima There was a big feeling of unity between all of us and there were NO problems at all between the instuctors or the students of the different styles. Everybody presented his techniques in the best positive manner, still knowing it is a part of the whole, the FMA, not putting down another style. This was our intention too, to cerate unity, fellowship and respect between the styles and instructors. On saturday night we had a FMA Gala, where the participants watched 2 1/2 hours of demonstrations of different styles, but also a show of "The defeat of Magellan" and a tribute to the Gandmasters: Remy A. Presas, Mike Inay and Edgar Sulite, who all died in the last years. A representative of the Philippine consul of the Philippine embassy, Mr. Auxillio, congratulated us for our effort in spreading the FMA in Europe and extended the greetings from the consul. I would love to post a picture of the instructors and the participants of the event, but I don´t know if this is possible in this list. Perhaps Ray can give me insight, if and how I can do it. I will soon put it on my website. It is always hard to write about oneself or an event organized by oneself, therfore I would like to ask Bill Lowry to step in here. He attended too and it was the first time we met, so I am sure he can give a very objective picture of the festival. I any other member if the list had attended the Festival, I would appreciate a comment about your expericences. Anyway, so much for now as a quick review. If there are any more questions about this event, will be more than happy to answer them.
