GM Leo was someone I admired very much and every occasion with him treasured. Bahala Na Larga Mano is in good hands with GM Tony Somera.

Hailing from a small town in southern Ohio that claims to have the oldest continuously running Memorial Day Parade in the country, Memorial Day has always been special to me. First called Decoration Day because we were to take time out to decorate the graves of our fallen soldiers, it was later changed to Memorial Day to also celebrate those that went 'over there' and made it home alive. Please take the time to remember, decorate -and- be thankful. IMO we should also include the civilians that gave their all on 9/11.

Hoplology: the history of arms and armour, their connection and their transitions, plays the most important part in the annals of the world." Burton, Sir Richard F. 1884 The Book of the Sword. London: Chatto and Windus, p. 1. IHS MISSION The IHS exists to study the evolution and development of human combative behavior. This study encompasses the segment of human culture concerned with weapons, armor, combative accouterments and fighting systems, in regard to their technical characteristics and the ways in which they interact with the economic, political, social and religious institutions of human societies. IHS PROFILE The IHS is an independent, not-for-profit organization. It offers its services to scholars, universities, museums, collectors, private and governmental organizations, writers and publishers around the world. Current activities of the IHS include field research trips for the collection of hoplological data, the establishment of a library facility where such data can be made available to researchers and an ongoing development of the study of hoplology. The data produced by the IHS is concentrated in the following areas: * Technological Hoplology The study of environmental factors, materials and production processes and their relationship to the development of weapons, armor and combative accouterments. * Functional Hoplology The study of the structure and organization of combative systems including the analysis and classification of combative systems, the observation off training patters and their relationship to real and idealized applications and investigations into the reciprocal relationship between weapons and combative systems. * Behavioral Hoplology The study of the psychological and physiological factors inherent in man's combativeness and his development of combative capabilities including the variables that influence the evolution of combative systems. This covers the socio-cultural roles and effects of weapons and combative systems on the individual and collective social organization. This area of research includes the identification and description of man's belief systems and their corresponding social and institutional import. The analysis of expression of behavior (internal and external) in relation to weapons and combative[s] systems and the study of linguistic relationships in the evolution of combative culture are also included in this area of study. The IHS, the society's journal, HOPLOS, the IHS Newsletter and the International Hoplological Research Center (IHRC) are under the aegis of the its Director, the IHS Board of Directors and Officers and the IHS Advisory Committee, the members of which have international prestige in hoplology, arms and armor studies, modern military and police studies, and various related academic disciplines. IHS History Sir Richard F. Burton (1821-1890) began to organize hoplology as a body of knowledge with terms, concepts and a methodology uniquely its own. He devoted much of his life to the development of another discipline through which to view the evolutionary growth of social man and his cultural contrivances - hoplology. Hoplology, as an organized, academic disciple remained dormant from the time of Sir Richard until the late 1950's when it reemerged under the guidance of the founder of the International Hoplological Research Center, Major Donn F Draeger (USMC Ret.) (1922-1982). Draeger, after many years in the Pacific Basin, took up permanent residence in Japan in the mid-1950's and became thoroughly occupied with the study and practice of Japanese martial and related disciplines. Draeger gained membership to Japan's oldest cultural organization for the study and preservation of classical martial arts and ways, the Nihon Kobudo Shinkokai. Draeger founded the International Research Section (IRS) of the Nihon Kobudo Shinkokai to facilitate non-Japanese persons gaining access to study and conduct research within the Japanese martial ethos. By the early 1960's this Section had conducted an ongoing series of investigations in Japan and produced a sizable amount of data primarily relevant to Japan. Draeger soon changed the title to the International Hoplological Research Center, and modified the activities of the organization to include a more international scope. Pioneer field workers widened the scope of the organization's activities and several field expeditions were made into Australia and the Indonesian Archipelago. By the 1970's, the organization's operations were expanded into the Greater Malay Archipelago and the broader Pacific Basin. Draeger spent considerable time at the East-West Center and the University of Hawaii Manoa, lecturing, developing professional contacts between the IHRC and scholars in various field, and performing federally funded research. Draeger remained director of the IHRC in Tokyo until his death in l982. Since 1983, the functions of the IHRC (renamed the International Hoplology Society in 1986 and incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in Hawaii in 1992) and all of its activities have continued under Hunter B Armstrong, Director of the IHS, David A Hall, Ph.D., Coordinator of the Advisory Committee, and the members of the Board of Directors. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues are available via ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com.
