I have not beat on the sticks a great deal (trying to wear out my rattan), but they have a great weight and feel. I have purchased these items through several different orders and all has been great. I would recomend giving them a try.

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hey Bill, Thanks for the suggestions. Sounds like a pretty cool thing. I am always into anything that makes me stronger and tougher. My parents got me violin lessons as a kid so I had to be tough. LOL Actually, I make a living as a violinist. But I love the martial arts and have been practicing them for years. Oh, just thought I would ask a very very strange question. A buddy of mine just got the weirdest video, unsolicited, in the mail. He gave me a copy of it and I have to say it is very "outside the box" if you know what I mean. It features some strange cat that calls himself "Nodan." Just wondered if you had heard of him. I was researching him online. There appears to be a rash of these DVD's appearing in the mail boxes of Dojo's around the country with no return address. Thought you might have heard of it. Have a great night.

What's the address? I mean, I was planning to physically visit the shops on location, after all, I can order online from home as it is, but I'd like to see the merchandise by myself. About the museums, I was planning to go and check if British Museum has a Filipino department, I'm not sure (I've been there several times). Thanks anyway! - Marko" The gym has merchandise available to see (and try out). I don't know what sort of prices you're used to, but you can certainly try the feel of them as weapons. Apart from standard rattan sticks and training knives, I own a barong which I train with at home. I'm not an expert but I'm very happy with it. There is quite a range of swords and knives available. 16 Hoxton Square London N1 6NT (Closest tube station is is Old Street) 0207 729 5789 Hope this helps "Seek not to walk in the footsteps of the old masters. Seek what they sought."

For many years I did War of 1812 reenactment, portraying a member of the Volunteer Battalion of Incorporated Militia of Upper Canada. The problem with typical militias, both north and south of the border, was that they were poorly armed, trained, and motivated. It was very common for a militia to refuse to cross the border to fight in the other country. Likewise, to a man they'd all bugger off when it was harvest time on the farm. The British army formed an experimental militia battalion in York (now Toronto), and gave them military training, standard military muskets, and castoff infantry uniforms. The result, the 'Incorporated' Militia, acquitted themselves quite well, taking the brunt of the American regular troops during the bloody Battle of Lundy's Lane, and also earning a battle honour for their colours in the Battle of Fort Niagara (anecdotal evidence exists that the first British soldier over the wall was a sergeant from that battalion) So, unless an exceptional case, any particular militia was a poor military unit at best.
