To me, arnis is a special art. When I pull it out of my bag of tricks, people don't know how to handel it. That gives me the advantage. I like that! Most people I talk to have no idea what arnis,escrima (eskrima) or kali is but, you talk about TKD and it's like saying "hey ever heard of this little place called McDonalds"? I hope you grasp what I'm getting at. ===== **JASON COUTURE** __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
