I would be interested to know from any students , how often they take a lesson and how do they practice in between lessons? I personally would want/need to practice 2-3 times a week in addition to a lesson to get it into my natural actions , but by its very nature does it not require a partner to practice with ? Instructors, do you encourage students to pair with others for extra practice ? Oh and may I end on a personal plea , there must be someone in Coventry (UK) or very near who wants to do extra practice, I am only a beginner more or less taught from manual/video apprx 6 months. I would like to train Balintawak , have done a little doce pares but want to apply the balintawak training methods of grouping training techniques.Anyone interested please give me mail. I don't want to be used as punchbag though or use anyone else as punchbag just learn and acquire knowledge/technique.

After making the required bowl of cereal I turned on the tube and had the chance to see some move called "Equilibrium" starring Christian Bale (the actor who will soon star as Batman in the upcoming version). To me the movie seemed like a cross between Orwell's 1984 and the Matrix - I'm no movie critic.. just my 2 cents. Three things struck me as somewhat interesting: 1. The movie highlighted a martial arts system where guns were used more as martial arts weapons- in the sense that the weapons in relation to body positioning, stances,etc - were more reminiscent of martial arts than traditional gun holding stances, positioning, etc. They even showed the actors practicing forms from this system where twin handguns were held like butterfly swords from Chinese systems. 2. There was a fair amount of gunplay and martial arts scenes. One in particular I believe the familiar patterns of FMA were shown. There was a scene where Bale's character, surrounded by multiple attackers, opted not to shoot them (something in the storyline prevented this option) and took them out holding the barrels of twin guns and striking with the gun butts. If I'm not mistaken siniwali and abaniko patterns of FMA were used. 3. Early morning cable can be interesting.. (smirk) Hard to describe on a short post. If anyone on the list as seen the movie could you confirm my belief that FMA were used and/or if the gun martial art showcased was hollywood make believe or a real system that exists. Ps. I really enjoyed the previous Wing chun thread. Interesting posts from many of you. Gumagalang Guro Glenn Harris Garimot System USA - Miami , Florida. Garimot summer retreat will be June 24-26, 2005.
