Just take the Pershing Exit off of I-5. This is a potluck picnic that will be attended by the members of the various chapters of the Angels Disciples. Also several 1st & 2nd generation instructors of Serrada will be attending with some of their students. Some local Stockton Escrimadors will be attending as well. This will be a fun positive event with lots of Filipino food. Folks will of course be picking up sticks and playing as well. If you are interested in going please give me a call so I can great you and introduce you to folks. Also make sure you bring something tasty to the pot luck. It will be hot so bring drinks and coolers as well. I will be car pooling with folks at 11:00 AM from San Francisco at Golden Gate Parks Pan Handle.

Here's what we've been playing with lately.... The feeder is attacking with #1 a forehand slash #2 a backhand slash #3 overhead (straight down on top of the head.) All attacks are full-force, full speed and aimed at the defender's head. The defender blocks with a snapping, punching sort of a block. Not holding the stick out and hoping for the best, and not meeting it with a slash of their own. Immediately after the block, the defender responds with a full-force, full-speed slash back at the attacker. For example: feeder sends the #1, defender punches it out, and simply torques the block into a backhand strike. (yeah, 'simply'...) Just to make sure everyone is back on guard and alert after the exchange, we occasionally throw in a 3rd, half-force strike. We'll do these as single attacks, as a sequence, and as a mix. We also switch hands to even it up... Safety equipment: we both wear fencing helmets, and street-hockey gloves. The feeder user a kicking shield to catch the return strikes. How do you know you're doing it right? The sound, the smell of scorching rattan, the fact that we've broken 2 pairs of sticks already, the way your hands will shake after about a half-hour.... What do we get out of it? We get to give and receive really hard hits, get used to seeing stuff at full speed, and more importantly, to have a really strong, reflexive, credible follow-up to a block. Anyone else do this sort of drill? Any other variations?    -------------------------------------------------- Scott Kinney Project Manager, Amateur Barbarian sakinney@ix.netcom.com -------------------------------------------------- --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2002 09:58:50 -0400 From: kalkiusa@netscape.net To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Danda/Letha Yoga Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Anyone know of any resources for Danda and/or Letha Yoga other than a Gyi seminar? In 30 years of study/practice of yopga and MAs I've picked up some similar work, and would like to know more ... particularly re: Danda Yoga, using the staff. Haven't been able to find any Indian info, altho I know that the Sannyasis were given robe, bowl, and staff after vows. Staff was multipurpose tool/weapon (yes, the monks fought sometimes ... Shaolin was not the first place inhabited by fighting monks ... there are ashrams which teach all forms of fighting). Anywa, any leads would be very much appreciated. Use of the staff for limbering and stretching yields siginificant advantages over work without the staff. __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

There is very little information on it on the web but from the documentation, it seems these guys are even tougher than Muay Thai guys." I was given a very nice tour of a Yawyan school in Cebu in 1989 and those guys are tough as nails. Their heavy "banana" style bag was six feet tall, had a solid wood four by four down it center for a core and it was filled with broken bits of linoleum flooring for "padding". Their instructor had the school logo carved into his upper arm with a knife so that the raised scar tissue formed the outline. They showed me their kicking style and then the entire school laughed when I did some Thai kicks on the bag for them..
