Classes are lead by Marc Scott, certified instructor under Raymond Floro (a direct Students of Ilustrisimo himself). These classes are all blade based, based on the idea that one is more likely to encouter, or carry an edged weapon versus a sword or stick. That being so all knife skills can easily be transferred to a variety of weapons, including impact and larger edged weapons. Kalis Ilustrisimo has been characterized as "... very deadly, direct and immediate. Unique in the simple, direct and cunning way it is done, it is one of the very few styles that is still based on the blade. Its movements are compact and accurate, characterised by typically small, simple and direct movements without any gaps between attack and defence." Kalis Ilustrisimo is widely regarded as one of the most effective blade systems in the world today. Stressing simplicity and compact combat, the techniques taught can be applied as easily in doorway, as in an open room. Technique is never taught in isolation and students learn to spar what they are taught almost immediately. If you want to learn complicated stick patterns, and two man drills this is not the training for you, if you do want to learn a highly effective knife system with an increadibly fast learning curve this is the system for you.

The excerpts are from the website of the Telegraph-- but as I am not a subscriber, I couldn't get any more than these snippets Yip! Crafty Dog ============ Martin is refused parole as 'danger to burglars' By David Sapsted January 17, 2003 Tony Martin, the farmer jailed for shooting dead a teenage burglar, had his application for parole rejected yesterday. The three members of the Parole Board, who met in London to review his case, gave no reason for turning him down. A friend of Martin's claimed that it was because a probation report branded the 58-year-old "a danger to burglars". Others suggested that a primary reason was Martin's refusal to express remorse for shooting 16-year-old Fred Barras when he and another burglar raided his remote Norfolk house at night in August, 1999. Martin, who will automatically qualify for release on licence in July after serving two-thirds of his five-year sentence for manslaughter, was said to have been resigned to the decision. Malcom Starr, a friend and leading supporter who visited Martin in Highpoint Prison, Suffolk, called the decision "an absolute disgrace". He said: "These people on the Parole Board are completely out of touch with public opinion. "All right-thinking people agree that Mr Martin should be released immediately." Mr Starr, a Cambridgeshire businessman, said Martin told him a Probation Service report to the board criticised the farmer for "not being up to speed with the 21st century and of thinking things were better 40 years ago". Mr Starr added: "A lot of prisoners lie and say they are sorry about something when they are not. He was not prepared to lie. It is not a question of 'does he feel sorry'. He feels he should never have been intruded on and he acted in self defence." Richard Portham, another friend, said: "He told me that the Norfolk probation service was recommending that he should not get parole because they considered him a danger to burglars. "I suppose the attitude came across in this report that he would do it again." The shotgun Martin used on Barras, from Newark, Nottinghamshire, was illegally held. He had lost his licence after an incident when he fired on a car trespassing on his farm. ================= Feb 2003 A thief shot by the farmer Tony Martin during an attempted burglary was jailed for 18 months on drugs charges yesterday. Brendon Fearon, 32, tried to burgle Martin's Norfolk farmhouse in 1999, was convicted at Nottingham Crown Court of supplying heroin. =========== May 6, 2003 British Government Says Burglars Need Protection Government lawyers trying to keep the Norfolk farmer Tony Martin behind bars will tell a High Court judge that burglars are members of the public who must be protected from violent householders. The case could help hundreds of criminals bring claims for damages for injury suffered while committing offences. In legal papers seen by The Independent, Home Office lawyers dispute Martin's contention that he poses no risk to the public, because he only represents a threat to burglars and other criminals who trespass on his property. ============ May 8 Home Office Suppressed Tony Martin Report The British Home Office suppressed a report that showed the jailed farmer Tony Martin was suitable for early release, a High Court judge was told May 6. ========== June 16, 2003 Tony Martin To Be Sued By Burglar He Shot The burglar Brendon Fearon, who was shot and injured by Tony Martin, won the right yesterday to sue the jailed farmer for damages. A judge at Nottingham County Court overturned an earlier decision that had thrown out his claim. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues available @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com.
