The sudden Loss of Master Joseph Napial is profound and heart breaking. Master Napial shared his love for Bandalan Doce Pares(Original Multistyle System) with a passion and understanding that can only be described as true mastery. His leadership and influence on the lives of young and old Escimadores will not be forgotten. Joe was my friend a brother of the arts my Master, I am going to miss him. I am honored and proud to have been his student.

What > would you do if a panhandler tried to open your door or reached > through your window? > -Nat Interesting question indeed. I always lock my passenger side door, and have gotten my wife in the habit of doing the same. True story: The details are a little blurred now but here is the gist. A fellow practitioner/friend faced a possible car jack/robbery some time ago. As I recall his passenger side door was open and a thug decided to quickly open the passenger side door of his car, jump in the passenger seat, somehow located (he had probably been watching my friend) a small knife (palm/push knife i think) my friend carried above his visor (I think) and try to get his car. My friend quickly removed the keys from his car, as he jumped out of the car. Unfortunately he had been sliced on his shoulder in the process but the perp. was now sitting in a dead car. The thug got out of the car and fled after realizing that my friend was not the easy prey he perhaps thought he was. I had a "similar" type of situation occur when I was 16 years old. I was at a stop light in a "not so nice" part of Garden Grove, CA. I had my passenger door unlocked. Instead of a thug jumping into my car I had a prostitute jump in. No normally this would not be so horrible as a 16-year-old goofy kid. But I noticed that across the street there were lots of police cars lit up on some type of crime scene. I put two and two together and made her leave via verbal persuasion (I'm a nice guy). Even though I was a clueless teen I did learn a valuable lesson in awareness that has stuck with me to this day. Now if it was on my driver's side... I have had people try to stick their hands in (God knows why ;-D) when I was a teen and in really bad areas I had no business being in. I've had to straight arm them just to keep them at a distance, roll up my window, push them back with my door by opening it, trap their arm, or even pull away if possible. Nowadays I always have something at the ready (screw driver, big pen, etc...), leave space around my car for a quick escape route, avoid "high risk areas" if/when possible, and just really try to be aware of my surroundings. It's funny but now that I am infinitely more able to deal w/ an aggressor I find that I just don't encounter too many problem situations. That's a good thing. Any other good ideas or stories out there??? --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Integrated Martial Arts & Fitness" To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2004 12:19:17 +0000 Subject: [Eskrima] Training Blades Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I've had training blades ordered from Edges2 (www.edges2.com) with my logo etched into it. Very nice work and a good balanced blade. We also just produced our own aluminum training "Karambit". I have a student whose family owns a metal fab shop. While we are doing this mostly for our group we can sell limited supplies to anyone interested. Checkout our web site at www.imafit.com. Look at the Proshop page!

I do not believe they make it any longer, their new model is just over 8.5" overall length. The old model I have is 7.25" overall. I call it a "combat paring knife" as it is about that size. The blade is 7/8" wide at the widest part, 3.25" long. You may be able to locate one used at a gun or knife show.

My arrangement with WorldBlackBelt is to write one feature article and one news article per issue (normally weekly but could stretch out to two weeks). Just like any reporter, I am counting on my "sources" just like you guys to give me the scoop on FMA events, people, etc. As some of you have done, you may also contact me at jaydeleon@worldblackbelt.com . I appreciate the encouragement. Salamat po.
