Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hello, My crew and I have been doing some knife sparring with aluminum knives (Edges 2) and fencing helmets. The fine mesh is quite grating, so we use garden gloves to protect our hands and a car door edge protector on the knife to reduce metal burrs. The fencing helmet mesh obscures vision in the sunlight and generally makes us immune to eye attacks. I would like something with a clear plastic to induce blinking when struck in the face. Shop glasses and goggles don't offer enough protection against full force strikes. Tony Blauer seems to have some nice head gear http://www.tonyblauer.com/Products/HighGear/PA.html , but it looks quite expensive. Are any of you using larger mesh grades ? Do light motorcycle helmets exist? I kinda like the looseness of the fencing helmets because they move and disrupt the "victim." I'm interested in helmets < $100. Thank you for any advice. --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "G" To: Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 23:33:23 -0800 Subject: [Eskrima] James Keating Seminar in Concord, CA Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net James Keating is holding a seminar in Concord, CA at Mavericks Sports Club on April 6&7. http://www.jamesakeating.com/files/Keat_Fly2.JPG GES --__--__-- Message: 4 From: Ray Terry Subject: Re: [Eskrima] Re: Eskrima digest, Vol 9 #95 - 8 msgs To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 6:57:21 PST Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net PLEASE update your subject lines...

Can anyone fill in the blanks? Also, I believe there a combinations absed on numbers - Help! Bill LoweryA - deliver a forehand diagonal slash upwards to lower left ribs. - backhand diagonal slash downwards left side of face. - backhand horizontal at waist height B - in the my last post would include the concept of "bouncing", ie. the second circular hit bounces off the center (elbow) area and strikes the knee. C - from the open position, strike the knee, continue the strike upwards into a wing cover. - from the open position, block with the wing block continuing the strike around and down to the knee. Reverse C - start with the wing cover blocking, continue down and around to the knee. G - Like "C", then strike to center with horizontal jab. I - thrust high from closed or open position, then drop stick. J - give three quick taps in succession to the front of the opponents face in a downward fashion. These taps are done with the stick about 5" away (you CAN generate power by using the hips). - after that, do a power forehand slash to the lower ribs or legs. K - deliver a vertical redondo downwards to top of opponents head. - forehand slash downwards to left side of opponents face. - backhand slash downwards to right side of opponents face. L - give three quick taps in succession to the front of the opponents face in a downward fashion. These taps are done with the stick about 5" away (you CAN generate power by using the hips). - after that, do a power backhand slash to the lower ribs or legs. M - vertical downwards strike from closed position - abaniko from closed position - abaniko from open position - vertical downwards strike from open position N - vertical downwards strike from closed position - abaniko from closed position - vertical downwards strike from open position O - circular hitting. Can be done in either direction. Clock or counterclockwise: Head to knee to head. Q - by starting at the bottom with circular hitting and finishing with a witic to the foot. S - high chicken wing to slash at middle; middle chicken wing to slash at knee T - a horizontal strike and vertical covering strike or finishing blow starting from either the open or closed position. U - deliver a forehand diagonal strike to the left of your opponents face BUT at the last second turn the wrist so that you strike the right side of the face with an ABANIKO type motion. - from there turn the wrist and deliver a power forehand slash to the left of his face. - then a power backhand slash to the right lower ribs. - end with a quick open palm slap to his centreline. W - 1 - give one quick tap to the front of the opponents face in a downward fashion. - bounce the stick off the face and into an upward diagonal hit to the lower left ribs. - after that, tap the face again, (use an backhand Abaniko type motion) bounce the stick off the face and into an upward diagonal hit to the lower right ribs. W - 2 - do a vertical backhand ABANIKO strike to the opponents face, then do a backhand upward diagonal slash to the lower right ribs. - then do a forehand vertical jab to the face and finish with a forehand upward diagonal hit to the lower left ribs. X - ABANIKO strike to the lower left ribs, followed by an ABANIKO strike to the right temple. - forehand diagonal slash to the left collarbone, followed by a backhand horizontal slash to the lower ribs. Y - diagonal slash from open position; witic to center. --__--__-- Message: 6 From: Ray Terry Subject: [Eskrima] Martial Arts & Legal Use of Force To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 15:01:13 PST Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net > Here is a copy of an article on the legal use of force from the Summer 2000 > issue of my organization's newsletter. > > Regards, > Tuhon Bill McGrath > For more information visit the PTI web site at: > http://www.pekiti-tirsia.com [snip] Tuhon Bill, Good article.

He was not "certified"... indeed, the only recognition he ever got was for breaking up a scuffle between two fellow jeepney drivers, one of which had a knife. He simply walked up to the "knife fighter", administered pain compliance, and calmed things down. When I asked him how he did that, he shrugged, "Hindi ko alam." I'd like to see a piece of paper pull that off! To be sure, there are people out there who open up schools and hand out trinkets, not because of skill and experience in the art, but because of excellent marketing skills; hence, the apparent need for "certification". My counterpoint to this is that perhaps martial artists today are looking at these fanciful "resumes", and not the martial artist.
