I try to apply stick form to my blades and I'm trying to understand how to do this. So for semantics sake I'll expand. Is the short swords purpose more for stabbing (as was answered by Anthony) while the machete is used more for slashing?

Unfortunately, I for one, had all my photos "borrowed" during one of my moves in the Army. What we are looking for are unmarked photos from all eras, to include seminars. If you can help with this project we would appreciate it. You can either email me a copy or you can send them to me via mail. I have recently relocated from Fayetteville, NC to Albuquerque, NM. If you would like to send me a copy, for which I will pay the costs of copying, please email me and I will send you my address. Any and all help in this project will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, Canadians have an amazing resource at their fingertips when it comes to effective power generation. The correct body mechanics behind a hockey are pretty impressive. And the principles can be transferred to martial arts pretty easily. Thing is most in the US being hung up on American Football, don't take a look at the possibilities inherent in hockey. As such, that book you mentioned would definitely worth a look see I interpret this as the ability to project one's total > body weight into the equation as a part of the momentum transfer.

A driving force is more of a propelling action where the action -- by going through the item -- pushes it in the direction you want it to go. Whereas an impact, goes in and then retracts, thereby delivering force into the item. This is why when you are working the heavy bag correctly -- even though there will be some lateral movement -- it jumps more insteads of swings. Okay, I'm going to use another analogy so let's not get too technical, but think of the difference of motion between swinging a baseball/cricket bat vs. cracking a whip. Both are delivering force, but through different mechanics M --__--__-- Message: 6 From: "GES" To: Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 22:58:13 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] Sayoc 3 of 9 Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I see a DVD of Sayoc training called "3 of 9".

My focus will be on techniques/weapons I don't normally get to teach at seminars including: 1. The three spear sets from Solo Baston Seguidas 2. PTI Walking stick sets 3. Palm stick 4. Rope techniques 5. Empty hand applications of stick drills The other PTI guros present will be teaching a variety of Pekiti-Tirsia techniques.

As I have a heavy firearms background and only a few years in the FMAs I tend to fit into the latter category. Often I have been attracted to the sometimes wild designs of the FMA oriented weapons designed by Laci Szabo. From my FMA studies it is obvious to me that the ideas behind some of these designs is well thought out and purposeful. Further, Szabo seems to use some of the best custom bladesmiths in the country to fabricate his ideas into real steel. Yet for all of the years I have been aware of him I have only seen him rarely mentioned in print. What is your take on Laci Szabo and his designs? I would love to hear from the more experienced FMA practitioners especially. Thank you for your time and attention. - Anthony --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

A. What works for me: 1. A few joint locks. 2. Kicks to the groin, eye gouges. Kicks to the knees and lower legs. 3. Boxing skills. 4. Infighting techniques taught in Eskrima and Muay Thai. 5. A few techniques to avoid takedowns and a few techniques if taken down. B. What I like to carry with me: 1. Neck Knife with quick release chain. 2. Boot or inside the waist knife under 3 inches. 3. Concealed carry permit revolvers and automatics: Smith and Wesson .38 Liteweight Detective Special with spurless hammer; .380 automatic; 357 Ruger Security Six when out camping; Note: Insure you carry the permit. I also have a nice light weight vest that I wear with built in gun holders and knife holders. Gun wallets and pants gun holders are nice, along with a paddle holster if wearing a Jacket. 4. On occasion a nice generic wooden cane I received from the Air Force when I broke my foot in a martial arts class. Perfectly legal. 5. Nice ice scrapers in my cars. 6. A baseball bat and glove in my main car. 7. A plastic kerambit that looks like a key chain. C. What Annoys Me: 1. Pompous martial arts "specialists" selling safety and other bs but not teaching the basic street survival skills. Those who confuse think positive messages with survival. Nothing wrong with thinking with a critical, skeptical mindset. Thats the world we live in. Dale Carnegie is nice if your selling fuller brushes or other sales items. 2. Too much emphasis on forms and board breaking--a waste of time in my respectful opinion. 3. Closed minds to techniques from other martial arts that work in the real world. 4. Righteous Zen riddled Masters who would probably get they arse plowed down on Main Street when the crap goes down. D. What I like: 1. Being mean and lean. I like to be soft only after I make love to my current girlfriend. 2. Revenge is good. Revenge can be fun. Screwing with those on certain occasions who have screwed with you is a great pacifier and makes one feel spent. Makes me sleep better at night. 3. Being nice all the time sucks. Be nice to your family, friends, llover or spouse, and close ones. Oh, ok--co-workers. And, it is ok to suck up to your boss since you have to pay the bills. 4. Nothing like a 396 engine with improved cam, Muncie four speed, and posi-track in the rear. Better than sex. 5. A San Miquel beer, and a couple of nice looking Asian ladies sitting next to me and telling me lies on how handsome I am and what a good lover I am. "I love this bar." It is a simple formula that has made a good life for me... Now as Billy Batts said in Goodfellas "Go get your f...in' shoe box"= if you don't like what I wrote above. Enugh said. Back to the bar girls, bratwurst, babes, and bikinis. Oh yea, I love those purple pills. See ya. Ken McDee --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Yahoo!
