The cut was below the eye. A good fight but I thought for a second that DLH was down and out in the first. --__--__-- Message: 2 From: Carlo Arellano To: "'eskrima@martialartsresource.net'" Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 09:40:12 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] RE: Yaw Yan Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I am glad that Tabula Raza took my advice about checking out yaw yan. The bag you saw is called the HoneyComb. It is a 4x4 with twine wrapped around it and cemented together with rubber cement. Yes the kicks are deceptive and powerful. Mountain storm, a downward angling roundhouse where one performs a knee closing action, more powerful than the conventional roundhouse. Lapad Likod is the yawyan back kick, sneaky because you dont turn around and your lead leg does not switch, it has to be seen to be appreciated. and various scorpion kicks, where the lead leg sneaks underneath the guard in an upward motion almost in a vertical hook into the opponents jaw. the original Yaw Yan uses open palm strikes where the competetive version uses a closed fist. --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Douglas Shannon" To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2002 14:01:51 -0400 Subject: [Eskrima] Re: Caveman Sumbrada Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net >From: "Scott Kinney" >To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net >Subject: [Eskrima] Caveman Sumbrada >Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net > >I know there's probably an official, technical name for this drill, but >'Caveman Sumbrada' is what we call it.

This seems to be similar to some of the SCA fighting. IF I've interpreted the #1 strike correctly: it's similar to what the SCA calles a flat snap or on-side strike - roughly straight forward from the sword side to the opponants shield/off side head; usually attackers right to defenders left ear/temple region. Again, IF my interpretation is correct: the #2 is roughly equivalent to what the SCA calles an off-side. From the SCA perspective, the attackers sword begins on the sword side and passes either over the head by lifting the hand up and rotating the wrist or the head is tilted away and the sword passes roughly parallel and strikes the right ear/temple region of the defender. The #3 is not used so much in the SCA anymore becuase the elbow can end up hyper extending if you don't connect with anything, you terribly exposed if you miss, and most of our helmets are peaked along the center ridge line so that a blow like this will glance off and usually lose power or hit the sheild's top edge before connecting with the shoulder. The #1/#2 combo is what most of us in the SCA call a tick-tock and you can generate ALOT of power rotating the hips and wrist in combination while throwing... I'm planning to start practicing some of the escrima concepts with a friend of mine that I know can give me a decent critique from an SCA perspective... I'll see if I can work in this combo while we're doing slow-work and let you know how it works against sword and sheild and generic SCA two-sword. Silvester Burchardt East Kingdom m.k.a.
