Interesting post and I can see the obvious conclusions one could draw about fighting empty hand especially coming from a open bladed culture like walking around with a sword for a sidearm as a matter of routine. Everyday there are some in power who are trying to disarm this population. As they succeed your evolution of events appear to replay themselves. The early prize fighters, say the era of Jim Jeffries, were more wrestler/boxers. They appeared to be the UFC players of that era. They found that there was really no money in the combined box/wrestle and over the years wrestling left boxing and appeared to culminate in perhaps the first Ali million dollar purse which has become very routine now. I wonder if we are witnessing a new era in boxing where the UFC variant will resurect the wrestling componant to its first million dollar purse and dethrown boxing as just not intense enough for the coming generation of spectators.

Anyone who has ever boxed and also did bare knuckle or minimal padding ( UFC) fight knows that the real damage done to the brain is from MASS hitting the head... Prove it to your self.......Take your bare knuckle or lightly padded fist and tap yourself in the jaw.....Then put on a 10 or 12 oz boxing glove and tap yourself in the jaw.......The first thing you will notice is that the boxing glove because of its mass, jars the head more, now most true Knockouts come from the brain slamming against the side of the head and temperarly short circuiting. Thats why in Cuentada DeMano we do so much forearm and cross face striking, we want to jar the brain. I find it hard to believe that a respectable study would show that the large the mass is that hits the head the safer it is. Mass X Speed = Power. Most of the so called UFC knockouts are one guy just getting over whelmed and can't fight his way out of it and of course eventually will get Knocked out, however the UFC refs do a great job on not letting it get that far usually. While in Boxing in my experience there are much more out and out Knockouts and the pure number of shots taken buy a boxer is probabbly 100 to 1 or better. Just my 02 cents Rocky --__--__-- Message: 7 From: "Leo Daher" To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: RE: [Eskrima] Anyone else see the Bill O'Reilly segment on the UFC Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 12:29:05 -0400 Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Of course it SHOULDN'T be banned, not only because it is indeed safer than boxing but because no one is being forced to fight, which invalidates the "Ancient Rome" analogy used by that buffoon Bill O'Reilly. He did cite some study by a British medical association - I'm wondering if it's the same group that recently called for a ban on pointy kitchen knives in that country (I'm not kidding). Bottom line, the last thing I need is O'Reilly, Senator John McCain (another proponent of a MMA ban) or any other control freak to "look out" for me. All they really want is to impose their prejudices upon everybody else.

Bill's guests were Rich Franklin and Dana White. I felt like Rich Franklin, a former school teacher, did a good job of defending the UFC whereas Dana was given very little time and could only quote the lack of serious injuries or deaths in the UFC. Dana tried to make the point that boxing is more dangerous. Rich commented that before becoming a school teacher he was an amateur boxer. Bill O'Reilly had a study out of England that stated there is a higher percentage of concussions in the UFC events than boxing and therefore based his conclusion about banning the UFC on that study. So, is the UFC safer than boxing? Should it be banned. _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list, 2300 members Eskrima@martialartsresource.net Copyright 1994-2006: Ray Terry and Martial Arts Resource Standard disclaimers apply http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima --__--__-- Message: 8 Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 13:07:00 -0700 (PDT) From: jay de leon To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Tipunan sa Los Angeles 2006 Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I am inviting y'all to my seminar Tipunan sa Los Angeles 2006 with my West Coast barkada, except for John Jacobo who is coming all the way from Maryland, but he teaches all over the world.

If I want someone to make my decisions for me then I will just get my political opinions from MTV and the movie industry. What was it that Crafty said in his ruminations? My take: Aggression is there for a purpose and God help us if we don't find constructive methods for using it and letting it out. If we inhibit aggression we are going to see a lot more unpredictable violence as people are going to be so torn up inside with no outlet.
