We ran a college based MMA club that we ran as "wannabe-JKD" thing, we all Thai boxed, I brought FMA someone else brought Western MA, another BJJ etc. So it was summer and we had about 5-7 people. The other officer and myself (we called ourselves officers not instructors) both had degrees in education so we made this "perfect model" We did random attack, one person in middle everyone padded, with and with out weapons. We'd show one principle, like sprawling or vectoring or straight stikes etc, and have the random person come in 50% power and do whatever. Do this w/ a couple principle for about 45 minutes and discuss for 15 then do another hour block. It was awesome! or so we thought. All the people there besides us were bored! "Why can't we just hit the pads? I just get taken down and hit and I don't like it." Honest to god quote. That person had no work ethic and therefor no techniques, yet he viewed his being takewn down as our failure even after discussion. We stopped doing this after about 2-3 club sessions. I hope you have better luck with this than we did. I assumed having college kids we'd have to cut the talking short, yet it was like pulling teeth.

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Regino Ilustrisimo was Tatang Ilustrisimo's uncle, as Regino was the youngest brother of Tatang's father. At least that's what people in the know told me. Floro Villabrille was either Tatang Ilustrisimo's first cousin or a nephew. But definitely he is a relative of Tatang Ilustrisimo. Proof of this is the fact that they lived together in the prewar years of Manila. To this day, provincial Filipinos going to Manila will ALWAYS stay with relatives no matter how far the degree of consanguinity is already (for example, I would look up a FIFTH degree cousin, if there's such a thing, who lives near the place where I'm going to in Manila). That's the case for those provincial Pinoys who can't afford their own housing. BTW, I think the Ellustrisimo spelling is simply another Americanism, just like panananjakman and kino mutai and siniwalli or siniwali and Illustrisimo (with two L's) and subrada and of course, the word KALI. :) ===== Earn $$ just by receiving and reading email! http://www.resource-a-day.net/member/index.cgi?Brandon96 __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday!
