Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Does anyone know where I can find lower costing stick fighting body Armour and helmets? Most of what I am finding are around $100 each. That is too much to spend for the school I am teaching at. Thanks for any help.

This is actually old news in the Chinese martial arts community. There was apparently a practitioner dubbed 'iron crotch' for his ability to pull a stone with his, um, stone puller. I always wondered what the meeting was like where they passed out nicknames: "Iron crotch? Don't you have any other name? How about 'iron fist'?" "We got like twelve guys already with that name" "Iron foot?" "Already taken" "Iron head?" "Some guy in Shanghai got that one. Beat his head against a wall every day for forty years." "Iron Pinkie?"

During the Grand Opening you are also invited to participate in CKI's 1st tournament. This tournament is Full Contact, stick, punches, kicks and takedowns. This tournament is unique due to fact it is 3 rounds of full contact and is being judged by 3 independent judges that are not affiliated with our system or any of the players.
