First, the teacher sounds like he's almost on the verge of tears. Then, he faces pushes his student a couple of times with enough force to throw him in to a padded wall. Boom, slump. This could be topped if he were to push his student into a swimming pool, then take a sip of drink. On a serious note, I never understood how cooperative demonstrations could be submitted as proof of effectiveness. The student never actually hits the teacher, and even after the technical sequence, the student rises for yet another round. Thus, the effectiveness of the sequence of moves is left to the imagination. --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 20:01:43 -0800 (PST) From: Dave Wong Subject: Re: [Eskrima] Re: video clip: gary lam To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net > First, the teacher sounds > like he's > almost on the verge of tears.

Better than into a brick wall, don't you think? > On a serious note, I never understood how > cooperative demonstrations > could be submitted as proof of effectiveness.

The only way to validate it's usefulness is in a fight. Just take a look at Dog Brothers fighting tapes. All the tapping, footwork...where're they? Most of the time it's like two guys keep hitting each other till one guy drops. Seems like what they're showing is most of the things you practise in the class are useless. Oh, and in one of the Dog Brother tapes, they show a 240 lbs former football player crushing his poor opponents. The point they want to bring out is: if you don't have power in your strikes, how do you think you can stop somebody like that? And I think: Geez, that got to be demoralizing. All the smaller guys and girls could stop training right now cuz' they might never have that kind of power. Scary, eh? OK, now I said it. Flame away. _____________________ > Eskrima mailing list, 2200 members > Eskrima@martialartsresource.net > Copyright 1994-2005: Ray Terry and Martial Arts > Resource > Standard disclaimers apply > http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
