I travel frequently to teach knife seminars and to do so I bring a battery of blades. I always stick the knives in a zippered smaller bag inside my main luggage. I also make it a habit to carry copies of my books/videos, business cards and any other "official" martial arts material like a copy of black belt magazine or school information -- including a flyer for the seminar that I am going to. That way, at a glance the inspectors know why I have what I have in the bag. My bags have been searched several times, in my travels and I have had no problems in many different countries (Okay so it helps that the information also indicates that I am coming in to teach cops, but that's just a added bennie). They just figure I am a martial artist and pass me through. In addition, I have also learned a very useful trick, when I travel, I always go in a suit and tie. Yes, it is less comfortable, but it is balanced out by the fact that I am treated better by the airlines and have less trouble in security. Which believe me when you travel as much as I do, the last thing you need is some gung ho rent a cop on a power trip delaying you. And I have seen some seriously ugly examples of that behavior in various airports around the world. The suit combined with a friendly, polite and understanding attitude has gotten me through the few times I have been searched much, much faster. (In fact, I was in London when another business type pushed his way in front of me and barked at the ticket taker. He was jerked out of line by the security and I was waved on with a smile. He was the last one on board and utterly furious when security finally let him through) --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 08:21:47 -0500 From: Mike Casto Subject: RE: [Eskrima] GM Buot To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I've never met GM Buot but give him my regards and wishes for a speedy recovery.

His wife is in intensive care in Detroit, but every thing seems to look good, thank God . From what GM Buots sister in law told me the car rolled over a couple of times, so they are very lucky!!! Dr. Buot is over seeing their recovery. I would like to wish them a speedy recovery.

The normal expectation is that someone sustains a broken arm they will drop what ever they have in their hand and cease all aggressive actions... sometimes it does happen that way and other times it does not! The lesson to be learned from this... in combat don't assume that >evrything will go down just as you trained for it; Amen, hallelujah and oh man ain't that the truth.... I have a real serious distrust of the current trend in training of relying on pain to cause a person to react "just so." My dislike for it was summed up perfectly by Justin Kocher, a Danzin ryu player who said "Pain doesn't control people, people choose to comply. If there is something more important to me than the pain, I won't decide to comply -- I will keep on attacking." Unfortunately, much of the ideas behind common training is based on fighting a "reasonable" opponent. One who will make a rational decision that the pain is too great, make a direct correlation between his actions and the pain and cease those actions. Unfortunately, reasonable people don't get in fights nor do they threaten police with screwdrivers. In other words, if homeslice doesn't choose to comply you have a problem on your hands...the biggest part of the problem being that said person can do a lot of damage to you BEFORE he is overwhelmed via other means. This is especially true if you have a battery of non-lethal toys that you are going through trying to find something that will work on someone who isn't playing by the rules. And believe me, I have seen many an officer frantically and repeatedly doing the same ineffective move over and over again wondering why it didn't work, while the bad boy is barrelling down on them. Ken what you might want to consider is looking into options that do not rely on pain alone. For example I have a partner that comes along with me on all calls, his name is Mr. Gravity. I have never met anyone who is so tough, so big, so bad, so whacked out that Mr. Gravity doesn't take control of when I introduce them. This is not to say that pain isn't part of the process, but you can ignore pain, you just can't ignore gravity very easily. Come to think of it, it's also kind of hard to ignore when your central nervous system is shut down, but to do that you need something bigger than just a stick. --__--__-- Message: 5 From: "Marc Denny" To: Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2002 12:47:44 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] DBMA Training Camp and Gathering Registration forms Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Woof All: Someone posted about having a problem with our Training Camp and/or Gathering Fighter Registration forms.
