They are an awesome deal. I sold about 30 of them to Digest members. Thanks Ron From: "Hamilton, David" To: "'eskrima@martialartsresource.net'" Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2003 08:54:15 -0600 Subject: [Eskrima] Cold Steel Barong Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hi, I received my factory second Cold Steel Barong from PointMan Productions today. Great Deal. The sheath had one hairline crack, with the grain, that is easily reinforceable. I can't find much wrong with the blade. Good heavy weight, very sharp. Nice to practice with. For forty bucks plus shipping you just can't go wrong. I'd like to thank Mr. Balicki for his offer. _________________________________________________________________ Don’t worry if your Inbox will max out while you are enjoying the holidays.

Was he/she able to give you some safe alternatives? I don't know, but I don't think your groupmates would think you're dead weight, maybe they would also be able to help you do things that would increase your skill together with them without making your injuries worse. If the way you train injures you or makes existing ones worse, then don't do it that way. There are always alternatives that help you train safer and get you better. Maybe your teacher could help you find some of them. Regards, Bot __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

Having been in the immediate area of several stabhbings (most recent about 2 months ago) I don't like'em, and do my best to avoid the skin condition that inevitably (sp) comes with shank contact-a skin condition called "HOLES"!!! The state that I work for has a 6 week academy that spends only 16 hours on defensive tactics, with no yearly recert/review. The closest anyone gets to it after that is about 30 minutes reviewing handgun retention in firearms requalifications-and that is only for select weapons cadre members who qualify with revolvers. Every one of those types of drills Betty requested seems to me a recipie for a disturbance. To all of you other CO's on the list: How many of your institutions have specific policies prohibiting inmate MA training, and conversely, how much training time is given to WORKABLE self-defense, especially knife defenses Jeff Wroten _________________________________________________________________ Shop online for kids’ toys by age group, price range, and toy category at MSN Shopping.

I had been in Goju-Ryu Karate for a few years, along with Al and Rob McDonald, but after seeing that film, I told Al that I had to find an Eskrima teacher somewhere. Al then told me that he had ran into an Eskrima guy in a TKD class, and asked me if I'd like to join their backyard group. The rest for me is history...I have been with Inayan Eskrima every since being introduced to Garry Bowlds. If it had not been for Al inviting me in and teaching me, for Garry welcoming me in, then my spending many years under Rob McDonald, who became my main teacher in Inayan Eskrima, I probably would have quit martial arts altogether years ago. Thanks, guys, for bringing me in, and most of all my heartfelt thanks to Rob McDonald, for putting up with me for so long, and being so open and willing to share with me. Much appreciated. Through these guys I received not only a thorough grounding in Eskrima, but also got to study Wing Chun, got a good exposure to JKD, and got to meet Mike Inay, Guro Dan, Richard Bustillo, Michael Amistoso, and a host of other amazing martial artists. What I owe Rob, Al, and Garry I can never repay.
