The fighter is a street fighting game where you battle it out in an underground fight club. An interesting twist to the game is that you can gamble and even bet on your own fights. You will be able to create fighters as well with one of five fighting styles including Tae Kwon Do, Jeet Kune Do, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling. The Con will feature both a story mode and ad hoc multplayer for up to two people. One other interesting option in the game is that you'll be able to import a picture into your Memory Stick from your computer to add to your character. ...more on The Con as Gaming Horizon heads to E3 in May. --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Sun, 1 May 2005 16:03:42 +0000 From: iPat To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [Eskrima] Making good manners good policy Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net if the crime has been displaced, other than tourists where else has it moved to?

Not disrespect is intended especially since his skills with the stick were unknown to me. Now that I have a reliable source, I'll mention it if asked. Please email me his contact information. I would like to invite him to the Modern Arnis seminar with Dr. Remy Presas Jr., son of the late GM Remy Presas, in nearby Davenport on May 13-15. I also remember that Jeff said his experience was over twelve years ago. Perhaps it was an assessment of what was the case at that time and that the Kempo practitioner added a lot of skills since then. If so, I highly commend the Kempo practitioner as constant and neverending improvement is one of our Kempo mottos. Either way, a Kempo practitioner who has extensive knowledge with the stick has my respect. This includes Prof Barongan and whoever Jeff may have been referring to.

Hi Andrew and Jeff,

I know mister Barongan personally. I must say that his knowledge of stick is quite extensive. He is a wonderful man with great ability and depth in the arts.

He is an instructor and a friend that I would highly recommend to anyone.
