My brother and I were lucky enough to attend a seminar of Carlson Gracie Sr while he was in England doing a joint BJJ/Wing Chun seminar with Sammuel Kwok. It was the first time my brother and I did BJJ and it was a great experience. I remember cleary that he said through a translator he stated that he loved all Martial Arts. I think they may have been over 50 or 60 people in the seminar(maybe more) but he took his time to help out everyone in that seminar including my brother and I. This is a sad loss for the Martial Arts.

My name is Serg Kagno, and I, too, train and teach in Santa Cruz presently. I've been doing martial arts since I was a kid (judo, tae kwon do, kempo, escrima, silat). I've been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to study under some great instructors. My teachers have taught me to keep my arts real, and I like to play hard, but only with others who are into sharing and with everyone's egos in check. These days I continue to study Serrada in Stockton, but also cross-train with some of the guys from Bahala Na here and in Stockton. I teach a mixture of things, but have a bias towards the Largo Mano. I try to branch out and meet and train with as many people as possible, and would like to come Guro Lindenman's seminar. It sounds like a positive event, and I would like to know if I should register beforehand. With respect, Serg Kagno --__--__-- Message: 5 From: "mdealba@pacbell.net" To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2006 12:25:26 -0500 Subject: [Eskrima] RIP Carlson Gracie - Another Great One Passes On Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net On behalf of myself and Modern Farang Mu Sul® International, I would like to extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the family and students of the great Carlson Gracie Sr. Carlson Gracie dies at 72 Jiu-Jitsu community mourns. Grandmaster passed on Wednesday, in Chicago Victim to a heart failure, one of the greatest personalities in the history of fighting died on February 1st in Chicago – his name, Carlson Gracie. According to Dr. Mauricio Consalter, chief of the medical staff who received Carlson at the Lincoln Park Hospital, in Chicago, on Thursday 26, Carlson came to the emergency room at night with about 8 days history of bladder and kidney pain, also alteration of mental status, deep cardiovascular and septic shock on exam, diagnosed with sepsis, generalized infection, a bacteria went to his blood stream from a urinary infection, antibiotics, vasopressors, fluids were given. Carlson was persistently critical, but slowly improved, and on the 31st of January he gave signs of good recovery, his pressure was under control, his heart rate was perfect, he had no fever. But at 6 am Chicago time, his heart slowed down, down, and he went on full cardiopulmonary arrest, he was entubated, cardiac massage provided, but after 40 minutes of no heart activity, was declared dead. Eldest son of Carlos Gracie, the man who brought Jiu-Jitsu to Brazil, Carlson was launched by the family in the challenge against Waldemar Santana, who had defeated uncle Helio in the anthological bout that lasted 3:40h, held in 1955. Six months later, at 21, he would go into the ring in order to avenge the uncle in little less than 40 minutes, in a bout the press depicted as “a massacre.” This would be the first of four fights against Waldemar (two wins, two draws) in Carlson’s record of 19 professional combats, with one loss. After retiring from MMA, Carlson dedicated himself to teaching Jiu-Jitsu, and his team reigned supreme in the tournaments held from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s. He raised such black-belts as Sérgio Iris (“Serginho de Niterói”), Cássio Cardoso, Peixotinho, Ricardo de la Riva, Murilo Bustamante, Amaury Bitetti, Ricardo Libório, Zé Mario Sperry and Wallid Ismail, amongst 200 graduates. Controversial, loud talker, always gesticulating. With of an exotic taste that ranged from French music to cockfights, owner of a fantastic memory, master Carlson suffered a tremendous shock in 2000, when his elite fighters left the academy on 414 Figueiredo Magalhaes street, in Copacabana, and assembled Brazilian Top Team, after arguments concerning percentages of the fights’ purses. Some followers, however, stood by the red-belt until the end, like Oswaldo Paquetá, Wallid Ismail and Luis Carlos “Manimal” Matheus. Carlson Gracie’s sudden decease moved the fight community, dismaying followers, rivals and admirers. They all now miss the man who would treat everyone as their son, and despite deserving honors of a hero, would dismiss any sort of blarney with the modesty of a fisherman. All of Carlson’s footsteps in and out of the ring, including his struggle with death, will be detailed in GRACIE Magazine’s 109th issue, a special edition dedicated to the grandmaster. February 18th, on Brazilian newsstands. http://www.graciemag.com/?c=144&a=3643 -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . --__--__-- Message: 6 Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2006 17:36:56 -0800 (PST) From: Ruel Apostol To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] February 12, 2006: 8th FMA Gathering/Picnic Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net We're scheduled to hold our 8th FMA Gathering on February 12, Sunday at 2pm.

You will see the building that has the UP Oblation (Naked guy) in front. That's the admin building. If you're facing the admin bldg (you are facing the oblation), walk up the steps, and through the building, until you're at the back of the building. Walk down the steps behind the building where there is a small field. Contunue in the same direction, walking across that field. At the end of the field there is an exit way. There you will find a monument (ladies sewing the Philippine Flag). Keep walking past that still in the same direction.
