Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I found an interesting folding karambit on a knife distributor's web site. Has anyone seen one of these in person yet? Go to: http://www.wowinc.com/boss-8.htm to view the knife. It's the bottom knife on the page.

He is very good with reality response scenarious and his concept called "Adrenaline Response and Dump". In other words, how you would react to attacks on the street. He is heavy into fear reactions, flinching, attack avoidance, and also going on the offensive. He does a lot of exercises with women being attacked and how they should respond. He employs his suits to enable live and real attack responses, e.g., groin and head shots. He created a very useful fighting armored suit employed by military and police tactical units. He integrated that with his SPEAR concepts on attacks. He appears to have a debate with other reality based martial artists (maybe Peyton Quinn ?) regarding who is stealing each other's ideas. He created his own system based on various martial arts and what he believes works in the streets. He has his own website. Several of his videos are highly rated. I liked his "How to beat a grappler" and the Four Ranges. Others are good, some are merely videos of his seminars where he discusses concepts. I think Tony Blauer and Professor James out of New York City offer a nice approach to urban street fighting techniques that provide an alternative theory to traditional Dojangs or Dojos. McD... P.S. I can write somewhat coherently now since I am off the booze. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

However, there has been no attempt to standardize officer training in the use of pepper spray. Zarc International will provide training and certification to U.S. agencies, including the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) and the United States Border Patrol. The current training program will revolve around ZARC's CAP-STUN products, but the company sees it as a pilot program for all brands. The program targets improved safety and effectiveness. "We are pleased to see such rapid response to out initial movement," says ZARC President and CEO Cameron Logman. "It's not only a vote of confidence in our CAP-STUN products, but also an acknowledgement of the need for a standardized pepper spray training program nationwide." http://www.prnewswire.com --__--__-- Message: 6 From: Ray Terry Subject: Re: [Eskrima] Folding Karambit?

I was able to get a copy of the book and will give a quick overview now and hopefully will submit a full book review in a couple of weeks time, if work and family commitments permit. Let's quickly list the chapters and their topics to give an idea of what the book offers: Chapter 1 - Overview of the Filipino Martial Art Chapter 2 - The Art of Dumog Chapter 3 - Origin of Dumog Techniques Chapter 4 - Seizing Techniques Chapter 5 - Single Stick/Sword Chapter 6 - Double Sticks or Sinawali Chapter 7 - Sword & Dagger (Spada y Daga) Chapter 8 - Knife/Dagger Techniques Chapter 9 - Dos Manos (Two Hands or Fists) Chapter 10 - Disarming Techniques Chapter 11 - Weapons Retention Techniques Chapter 12 - Panuntukan/Sinumbagay (Fist Fighting) I quickly realized somebody reading the chapter summaries will wonder what they have to do with Dumog. To answer this I will use exerpts from Chapter 3 of the book: "Dumog is not a separate art . . . . All the techniques in dumog, were all taken from weapons techniques, movements, and handling. To have a good understanding as to where dumog techniques actually came from, we need to breakdown the many principles and concepts found in various sub-systems within the Filipino martial art." Later in that chapter, Mr. Rutano writes, "In succeeding chapters, we will look at some of the principles, concepts and techniques common in most styles of Filipino martial art, and look at them in terms of grappling and wrestling mentality. Each of the sub-systems (single stick, double stick, stick and dagger, dos manos, panuntukan, sikaran, tanikalang kamay, staff, spear, kadena, etc.), will be covered, to show that dumog techniques is built-in in the system." The book has 124 pages and includes 473 photographs (yes, I counted them) to go with the explanations given in each chapter. As stated earlier, I will later give a fuller review but suffice to say that there are enough pictures to fully illustrate the ideas the author is trying to get across. This quickly covers the topics in the book, but I know that as a buyer I am also interested in the physical quality of the book. The book is a professionaly bound paperback, about 8 inches wide and 10.5 inches high. It has a glossy, colour and thick cover and the pages are made out of good quality paper. Pictures and text are clear. It is actually one of the better quality paperbacks in my martial art book collection. As Bill Lowery pointed out in his post, a picture of the book can be viewed at, www.members.shaw.ca/virada/home.htm I'll finish this with a quote from the book's forward that was written by Mr. Richard Bustillo: "This book is one of a very few that teaches a system of double stick exercises or single stick techniques to empty hand techniques for fitness & health, self-defense and sport. Guro Rutano is giving us not only a valuable study in Eskrima, but also a broad picture of weapon techniques to the empty hand translation." --__--__-- _______________________________________________ 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.
