I am in southern Peru at the moment on a lousy internet connection which has already vaporized several things I have written tonight and so I will be brief. We have a goodly number of DVDs available at www.dogbrothers.com Each of them has a video clip giving you a taste of the contents. We also have the Dog Brothers Martial Arts Association which amongst its many benefits has "vid lessons". Click on the appropriate button on our website for more details. The Adventure continues, Crafty Dog >> .... I was training 2 hrs a day at the gym i attend and >> people started asking me to join in. I now have 10 people who joined me >> none with experience.

Getting groggy here wading through almost 200 emails that have accumulated in the last few days, but if we're talking about State College PA, then I'd suggest you look up DBMA instructor Ryan Gruhn. Good to the page on our site www.dogbrothers.com that lists DBMA instructors for contact info.

Nice to hear that the park is now being put to better use. The park is actually in a good part of the city, though that area is now getting congested as well. It appears then that this is the Quezon City version of the Luneta/Rizal Park (in Manila) informal get-together for martial artists. I will check it out on my next visit to RP. Thanks. Jay de Leon www.filipinomartialartsmuseum.com sam deGalicia wrote: If you go to Quezon Circle Park on Sunday mornings. you can see all kinds of martial art groups practicing. From the different FMA groups to Tai chi, Thai boxing to kung fu. Very cool to see if you like martial arts in general. It is about a 45 min. cab ride from manila. If this is your first time in the Philippines, you may want to bring a "local" so that you can avoid cab scams and so that you can get back to manila easily. It was hard getting a cab to go back to manila from there. --- Jason wrote: > I tried to email the contact person but it bounced. > Any other suggestion? > > Jason > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ray" > To: > Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 9:11 AM > Subject: Re: [Eskrima] Training in the Philippines > > > >> I am planning to go to the Philippines some time > this year and I wanted > >> to > >> inquirer on cost (in dollars) for training.

Start an FMA club/people to practice with. Then send videos of yourself performing the various techniques to the instructor or better yet visit his school for 1 on 1 live instruction a couple times a year so that the instructor can critique your progress. Looking at yourself on video is one thing but having an instructor critique your progress is another. If traveling is not an option, ask the instructor if he is willing to do a seminar in your area provided you do the leg work-place for the event, scheduling, advertising, hotel stays, etc." ***I am not sure that I said anything that contradicts any of the above. Except that you can look at videos of yourself every day if you are so inclined. I wrote previously: "All in all I found that it is the two-person skills that suck, but that is the nature of the beast. I found that my solo techniques do not lag as much." ***All I meant that two-person skills suck if you train them solo. Not totally unexpected... Sam then wrote: "Pattern drills are just training tools. One doesn't perform pattern drills to the point it becomes "muscle memory". Let us say it is a stick pattern drill. Some things to try to prevent muscle memory are: -Throw in an unexpected angle every once in a while, then go back to the pattern without breaking flow. Have your partner do the same thing. -Use your other hand to perform the drill. This is good for your partner also when you do this-checking hand sometimes ends up on a different part of the body. -When you get proficient with the above, try switching hands without breaking flow. -Add ½ beats-meaning if performing a 1 for 1 drill, see if you can pull off 2 hits to his 1. If you are doing a 1 for 1 meaning one hit/one "block", eventually you will throw away the pattern drill and do the drill at random angles. Thus, eliminating muscle memory " ***Yes, that is great - if you have a partner and not a stick on the wall in lieu of. Also: "Anyways, this was not meant to offend anyone. " ***Absolutely no offence taken. The purpose of a discussion forum is to discuss. I simply believe, as I stated in an abbreviated form, that if you have lemons you make lemonade. I am also quite prepared to accept that my beliefs are not everyone else's beliefs.
