Talk about "coal to Newcastle": "Martial arts expert trains military Updated: 1/14/2003 5:00:00 AM By: John Hygh When you think of war, you normally think of guns, tanks, and bombs, but what happens when troops are in a war and they can't use those type of weapons? One martial arts instructor helps Marines prepare themselves for such scenarios. As the U.S. Marines train to fight the war on terrorism in the southern Philippines, one guy who helps them get ready for their close encounters is martial arts instructor, Leslie Buck. He teaches them the Kali technique. "There's tight jungle trails. Somebody will jump out, and mind you, these people that live in the Southern Philippines, not all of them are driving their BMW's or what not. They're using their farm implements, they're using machetes and they jump out and cut off the heads. And the Marines experienced no matter how highly technical their weapons are, they're automatically at close range. There's no preparation," Buck said. Because in the jungles of the Philippines, someone could be close to you and you wouldn't even know it. "The main consideration for law enforcement, for military is, 'I have a gun. What do I need anything else for?' But what happens when somebody else has the gun? You just don't have the opportunity to always have a gun in a knife fight, or vice-versa. So you have to be prepared for any circumstance. "You'll have somebody using a traditional weapon. A sword, a machete that's been around for thousands of years. It's more effective than their M-16s, M-4s, their modern weaponry. So they had to find a way to deal with that. I'm the lucky one. I get to stay on the base and be treated kind of like a king, but help these guys be prepared for what they have to do. Those guys are the real heroes going in there. And it's their job to go in there and risk their lives," Buck said. While Buck won't see the front lines, the techniques he teaches the Marines play a critical role in protecting them. Buck will make his second trip back to the Philippines at the end of the month to teach 500 Marines the Kali technique." http://www.news8austin.com/content/sports/athlete_of_the_week/?SecID=31&ArID=58050 Best regards, Argyll --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "rob mulligan" To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Date: Tue, 07 Jun 2005 13:42:50 -0400 Subject: [Eskrima] Kuntaw Kali Kruzada Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Like every year, I marched in the Philippine independence parade in New York on Sunday with the kids from FAHSI.ORG. We didn’t demo this year, but I got to see the group from Kuntaw Kali Kruzada for the first time.   They looked very sharp and had a lot of solid technique so I collared one of them and got an introduction to their instructor, Maestro Rico Acosta.  He came off as a friendly and soft spoken guy with no attitude; a real maginoo.   The parade was excellent as always, and these guys were a pleasant surprise. Anyone looking for FMA in the Manhattan / North Jersey area ought to give him a look.   Rob Mulligan KWIKSTIK.COM                         --__--__-- Message: 4 From: "Wieneke, Myron" To: "'eskrima@martialartsresource.net'" Subject: RE: [Eskrima] Kuntaw Kali Kruzada Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2005 14:07:17 -0400 Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Rob, In behalf of Maestro Rico and our organization, I'd like to thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately even though I had planned on it, I wasn't able to participate during the demo, it would have been nice to meet you. Our chief instructor is Maestro Rico's brother, Datu Richie, who I believe is also part of this Email list and gave the news about Grand Master Mena. Our current website is as follows: http://kuntawkali.com/ but will be updated very soon (the first picture is in my house and I'm the guy all the way in the back with glasses =-)). Class information is in the website as well.

It was badass! I saw some of the video footage of the (PI and US) Marines training in the PI. It was so cool! Along with him in his bag during a 'show-and-tell' moment, he had some of the blades he acquired from the PI that had been already "used" on some of the now late members of the Abu Sayaf group by some of the native soldiers.
