It was set up in a park in Kentucky, just a few miles from where I was visiting and where I grew up. I happened to be teaching a seminar in that park (a rather large park), not too far from the wall's location. On some of the breaks we took time to pay our respects. Makes me even more interested in visiting the real wall in DC. One of the fun and new things we tried was full-contact unpadded sparring in the park after the sun went down. Full-contact engagements in gyms or in the light of the day are one thing, but full-contact sparring outside and in the dark made for an excellent learning experience. After all, when/where are you more likely to be attacked? Give it a try sometime...

I read it as a child and still do it today from time to time. Especially the "Revenge of Kriemhild" from the Siegfried Saga, where almost everybody dies but nobody cares. They are very rich in details and they build a good bridge. There are a lot of German proverbs that derived from fencing. For example "sich in Acht nehmen" (literally "to take an eight") means to be alert, or "auf der Hut sein" (Hut is a very old expression for guard, hence "to be on guard") means to be prepared. Both examples are explained in the Siegfried Saga and still used today, also very seldom people understand their meaning. BTW. it is not true at all that German sagas has any kind of national sentiment. Siegfried, our biggest hero, was actual Dutch, and a lot of heroes are from other countries or learned their art in distant countries. The Siegfried Sagas tell You something about the different weapons and fighting styles of the cultures in that period.

I taught some basic stick work from Doce Pares Eskrima/Eskrido. Some basic empty hands vs. knife from Sikal. And some basic balance disruption from Shen Chuan and Silat. I think it came out pretty good (but I'm kinda biased about it). However, other people (who have no reason to be biased) have liked it as well.

Let me teeeelll you that it is very painful but very effective in loosening up the tendons and ligaments. I also recommend a chiropractor or massage therapist that practices Active Release Therapy. Most injuries will receive immediate benefit from this technique. Gord --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo!

Lansdale has some good descriptions of Hapkido. --__--__-- Message: 8 Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 21:49:00 -0400 From: Musilat@aol.com To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Guns octopi and such Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Kurt, I did make a distinction between nuts and enthusiasts in my post. Again, I like guns, but as with all things, some people can be a bit extreme (i.e. Bruce Lee "nuts"). I just think that since a guns can cause a great deal of harm in the wrong hands, thorough screening would be a good idea. I don't propose any bans...just complete screening. If Charles Whitman were screened, maybe he wouldnt have shot all of those folks from the tower (ok...dramatic again). It can of course be argued that a car could also cause damage in the wrong hands. But to me, that is just sky-high rhetoric. You know what, I'm out of gas on this topic.
