Tuhon Bo leaves behind a wife and 3 young children in the Philippines, as well as his first family, whom are all grown with their own families in the US. He was like a father to me as well over the past 20 years, and I will miss him greatly. His daughter Elizabeth is my God-child, and in the Philippines, there is responsibility that goes along with that honor. He recently completed the construction of a very nice home in Cavite, and his passing has left his wife in a difficult situation, as the home is not fully paid for. Tuhon Bo knew that he was ill, and this is why he commissioned the production of his Finger Touch videos. We would like to ask everyone to please check out our website, www.kbs-system.com, and consider buying his VCD set. The profits go to his wife and family. If you are not interested in the VCD's, a simple donation can be made as well. Just contact me and we will arrange it through Paypal. Please keep the Sayoc family in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you. Steven Drape --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2007 18:37:29 +0300 From: sdrape@kbs-system.com To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Philippine property for sale!!!

In school we were indoctrinated to the theory that Asians crossing from Siberia or whatever to Alaska, on an ancient land bridge. Some anthropologist became famous for making that claim. What is his name? Anyway or However, Eastern America was known as Vineland, and some Indians like to drink. These two facts along with the fact that American Indians have been known to get lost after moderate drinking has proposed a theory that it was not too unlikely and very possible that American Indians getting drunk and going to Asia rather than the Asians coming here. This used to be a common concern among American Indians even when they didn’t drink. It's like if I see you, then you can probably see me type deal. American Indians did not have any need for a military, so lacked in martial arts and military strategy, however they were very into entertainment and sometimes had a type of wrestling. They also had hunting skills which enabled some to develop self defense skills. They learned from their enemies sometimes. I think it would be presumptuous to think that they didn't have knife fighting skills as they had knives, and human nature as it is, would lead to fighting with blades. One of the better self defense moves was hiding or cover and concealment, and also what was known then as RUN FU. Some people think there may even be Asian Martial Arts that have descended from Run Fu, still in existence. The French and Spanish and Filipinos brought blade arts to New Orleans, and we can speculate that native Americans could have trained in European Martial Arts on a very need to know curriculum. If they joined the military they would learn what they had to. Native Americans would make peace with settlers, then the United States would send a new wave of people to that area. Problems would arise and the Natives Americans would be hearded up and slaughtered. The Apaches learned from the Spanish, and the Navajo learned to use a war shield from the Spanish. The Apaches found that a lance could beat the Spanish sword or knife, and a Winchester would beat a lance. Thirty seven Apaches defeated several hundred Armed U.S. Cavalry after chasing Mexican soldiers out of their desert. Eventually though U.S. Military returned with cannons and mules and captured the surrendering Geronimo, and he was sent to prison. Train hard and have fun!
