What I actually said was something along the lines of, "Hey man! Long time no see! Dude, it's been what? 3 years? We met at that party ... what a night! We'll have to get together again sometime. Give me a call." His attitude immediately went from one of a predator sizing up potential prey to one of "What the heck? This guy knows me? Did we ..." It completely spun him away from his predatory mindset and forced him to shift gears. It was a calculated risk and not something I would advocate ... but in that space/time it worked for me. I have a friend up in Chicago who was accosted by a knife wielding assailant screaming things like, "Give me your money, man! I'll cut you!" Joe, my friend, took a moment then said, very enthusiastically, "Man! That is a nice knife! That's one of the nicest knives I've ever seen. Can I look at it." He extended his hand ... and the guy gave him the knife. In case this story sounds familiar, Joe discussed it in an article he wrote for Inside Kung Fu last year. Anyway ... I wouldn't recommend these types of things as "first line defenses" but it's good to keep them in mind as plausible alternatives if the situation reads for it.

To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net If you find serrada only "fairly effective" in a street fight you must not be training hard enough! I've been at serrada for a couple years now and find it to be exceptionally effective. The close in techniques and hand speed needed for the counters will only help any other system you have ever played in the past. We also play largo mano and I find that there is a much greater 1-1 stick to hand with the serrada. I guess I'm just a short-stick kind of guy! (No jokes please...

You ain't kidding! This winter, we've had about 270cm (somewhere close to 9ft.) of snow. As a result, your standing surface is both slippery and tough to walk through. Lateral footwork? Ha! Footwork of any sort? Double ha! Going to rename all the techniques to suit: "no, no, no. We don't call it offensive triangle anymore; now it's "the snowplow."
