Perhaps you could help me out with terminology you used reference Phillipino Martial Arts. I believe I know what a "wetik" is, bit could you describe a "pintok" please. I may know of the technique but I am unfamiliar with that term. Thanks for the help.

I'm not Dave, but I believe that both terms describe a similar movement, i.e. a wrist snapping strike. Yes?

Combat strategies and traditions were developed and handed down by generations of Maori warriors and chiefs. The Maori fighter has always been a formidable fighter in combat. He has been known as a resourceful warrior in both his own oral history and in the written reports of the Europeans who encountered him in the last 240 years. This warrior prowess can be attributed to the influence of Tu, the Maori God of War. His harsh teachings and disciplines shaped the mind and body of the Maori warrior from birth for war and battle. The Maori word Tu has over 12 meanings however root meanings refer to growth, an upright spine and combat. The Many Names of Tu Tu the Maori God of War had many war names. These longer names describe the aggressive, warlike nature needed for victory in war and battle. Tu-mata-uenga Tu of the ugly, distorted face Tu-mata-kakaa Tu of the scathing eyes Tu-mata-tawera Tu of the fiery face Tu-mata-rau-wiri Tu of the quivering blade Tu-ka-nguha Tu of the flared nostrils Tu-kai-taua Tu the devourer of warriors Tu-whakaheke-toto Tu the spiller of blood Tu-whakaariki Tu the maker of chiefs >From these names of Tu, we learn the qualities essential to a warrior if he is to succeed in war and battle. * aggression * killer instinct * skill at arms * strategy * leadership * survival skills The Maori also used other Maori gods, other than Tu, to teach the arts of weaponry, tactics and peace-making. Like all thinking people, the Maori understood the cycle of war and peace and the need for balance. There was a time for war (Tu), there was a time for peace (Rongo). Maori at War During the New Zealand Wars, the Maori proved a versatile, formidable adversary that fought with vigour and ingenuity to combat the technological and numerical superiority of the British Forces. The use of special fortifications, guerrilla style tactics and technological innovation frustrated the British Forces and created a begrudging respect for the Maori. Maori soldiers later served overseas in the NZ Armed Forces beginning with the Boer War. During World Wars One and Two, the Maori Pioneer Battalion and 28 Maori Battalion were given the name Te Hokowhitu-a-Tu- the traditional name for a Maori war party. Traditionally the size of the Hokowhitu a Tu group numbered 140 warriors which equated roughly to a rifle company within a NZ infantry battalion. Maori soldiers have served the New Zealand Armed Forces in the following theatres of war: * Boer War * World War 1 * World War 2 * Korea * Malaya * Borneo * Vietnam * UN peacekeeping missions. Maori and The Modern New Zealand Army Today Maori soldiers make up a large component of the New Zealand Army and have filled all top positions including the Chief of General Staff (the late Major General Brian Poananga, Major General Jerry Mateparae). In 1994, the New Zealand Army adopted the name Ngati Tumatauenga (The Tribe of War) to give recognition to the Maori contribution to the New Zealand Army. The use of haka and taiaha are now regularly performed as part of New Zealand Army tradition and custom. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ 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.
