I'm a big believer in developing ambidexterity/bilateralism, but to prefer to have the knife in the naturally complimentary hand surprises me.

By putting a knife in the weak hand (jab), you sort of equalize the two kinds of strikes you have. One can cut someone badly, and the other has enough strength to knock some one out. >From: "Marc Denny" >Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net >To: >Subject: [Eskrima] Complimentary Knife >Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2004 06:21:05 -0800 > >Woof Manuel: > >What can you tell us about the idea of putting the knife in the "weak" hand >(I prefer the terms "complimentary" and "dominant")?

What type of facilities do the current school holders on this list reccomend? I am considering either a strip mall location or a free standing concrete construction facility. What other options for a school location have I missed? What are the pros and cons of the different types of facilities out there? What factors have proven to be the most beneficial of any location or type of facility? I know these are weighted questions, with various probable answers dependant upon what my aspirations are as a school owner. With this in mind, I would appreciate any amount of feedback on any of the questions I posed. My Thanks to Those of You Who Offer Your Advice J.

It was shot in the north of burma and there are over 30 demonstrations by various masters with single, double sword, empty hands, etc. It was produced to support the continuing research in the region for my upcoming books. If anyone wants further detailed info on the dvd, they can email me at: Blackdiamondcobra@yahoo.com. The email is $30 with postage included. --__--__-- Message: 5 From: "Michael Koblic" To: "Eskrima digest" Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2004 18:26:47 -0800 Subject: [Eskrima] Rotator cuffs Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Many thaks to all those who kindly contributed their experiences and advice on the subject. It is perhaps only fair that I contribute mine: I woke up with a pain in my left shoulder one morning which was aggravated by abduction and internal rotation. It did not stop me doing anything and did not interfere with sleep so I thought I will wait it out. After four months the pain got neither better nor worse, so I mentioned it in passing to a friendly orthopod who advised MRI. This showed a tear in the supraspinatus, possibly complete. The advice I received subsequently is this: 1) No steroid injections. 2) Keep the shoulder moving. 3) No restriction on activities (i am a bit wary of throwing hard elbows now, though) 4) Rotator cuff exercises. I found a set recommended by the American College of Family Physicians on the net. There is four of them. I find really only 3 of those useful, as the internal rotation one I can do till the cows come home - I suspect this is a reflection on the muscle imbalance. 5) I was offered a surgical procedure where he would arthroscopically clean up the underside of the acromial process of the scapula. It was a fairly "grey" offer (sometimes helpful, sometimes not). For the moment I declined. There are number of things that puzzle me: 1) I always thought that the supraspinatus is responsible for the first 10 degrees or so of shoulder abduction. Jackie Charlton (brother of Sir Bobby Charlton, a soccer player) had a tear and had to flip his arm by pushing it with his hip to initiate the abduction to the point where the deltoid takes over. I don't seem to have that problem (yet?). 2) The shoulder always feels better after exercise. If everything is swollen, should there not be more pain rather than less?
