ABC's "20/20" seeking "Armed Citizen" stories (Ray) --__--__-- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2007 05:27:42 -0700 (PDT) From: Punong Guro Steven Dowd Subject: [Eskrima] Serrada lineage To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I've received serveral emails, some of them actually pretty funny, regarding my comment about Angel and Kimball, et al. One thing that is clear, and is even clear in the below... Angel obviously had a way of making each student feel very special. I've heard many of Angel's students claim that they were his favorite, how they spent thousands of hours with Angel, lived with Angel, ate and drank with Angel. If all of these stories were true, Angel would have had a house full of students sleeping on the floor and he would have weighed 250 lbs from all the adobo and beer he drank with them all... Ray - Well said well done. I heard the same on a cassette tape about the incident. Steven Arnis Balite www.arnisbalite.com --------------------------------- Never miss an email again! Yahoo!

You may want to look into the CRKT M-16 series of knives. I believe their website is www.crkt.com . On the website itself, the retail price may be a bit above your budget, although there are definitely some there for under $100.00. Also, check out www.bladeart.com . If you go to the blade art site, call them and ask to speak to Seth. Tell him Abdon sent you, tell him what you want and what your budget is, and he will definitely hook you up. Also, all the best to your nephew!!! May he serve his country safely and proudly!!!

Recently I have been eyeing the Kershaw Avalanche. Everyone's suggestions have been great. You can also find some great deals from: www.eknifeworks.com www.knifecenter.com www.newgraham.com In general for that price range I would suggest CRKT, Spyderco or Benchmade, they are all great companies.

ABC's "20/20" Seeking "Armed Citizen" Stories Friday, April 06, 2007 Gun ban groups often claim that private citizens rarely, if ever, use guns in self-defense. ABC News' "20/20" is now putting that claim to the test, asking viewers to submit their own real-life "Armed Citizen" stories. ABC's website asks: Have you ever defended yourself from a crime in your home, in your business, or in public by using a gun? Perhaps you warded off a potential attacker by simply showing a gun? If you've personally used a gun in a legitimate act of self-protection against a criminal attacker, we encourage you to tell your story to ABC News. To tell your story, go to http://www.abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3015150 and complete the web form. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/eskrima Copyright 1994-2007: Ray Terry, MartialArtsResource.com, Sudlud.com Standard disclaimers apply.
