I'm sure most of you have heard of it...but I would be interested in comments and/or experiences anyone may have with this unique fighting system...good or not so good. J. Yahoo!

Research your own truths. Absorb what is useful. Discard what is useless." We usually just see it shortened to "Absorb what is useful". IMHO, this is fine for those that are only learning for their own benefit. Nothing wrong with that, nothing at all. One only hopes that what we view as useless this week will be viewed that same way next month or next year after more hours of training (also referred to as 'eating more rice'). But another problem is introduced when we only 'absorb what is useful' and then go on to teach. Will we only be teaching those that are blessed/cursed with the same abilities and limitations that we ourselves have? If we approach learning with the attitude of only absorbing what is useful, we severely limit our ability to carry on the art. There are techniques that I have learned that really don't work too well for me. I am 50, 6'1" and 200 lbs, have two not-so-good knees, a bad back and of only very average athletic ability. Yet my student may be 5', 95 lbs, 18 years old and an excellent athlete. What may be mostly useless for me as a self-defense technique may be an excellent technique for this student. If I had previously discarded this technique as useless, my students and the art have now suffered. FWIW...

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net With the new format of the Eskrima list it is now easy to open up subscription to those that would like a non-digestified version. i.e. the email msgs would come individually instead of bunched together in an issue of the digest. The last time we checked into this (a couple years ago) only a handful of people were interested in that. But it is time to check again. If you'd like that type of subscription please drop me a private email at the addr below. Thanks.
