Back from OH (Ray) --__--__-- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 08:30:02 -0500 From: "Van Harn, Steve" To: Subject: [Eskrima] RE: The Edge Championships Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Guro Larry, I see that you make a distinction for scoring regarding thrusts in the Technical Sword divisions vs other divisions. To Quote correctly: "Stick - Labtik or Slashes will be Awarded over Witiks or Jabs and Thrusts". However for knife divisions Thrusts is included with Labtiks and Slashes vs Witiks and Jabs. It seems that there has been decided to have a clear distinction between these two divisions regarding Thrusts.. To me it seems odd since the Technical Sword division clearly states "The stick is viewed as a sword or edged weapon". In that case, would not the stick thrusts with a sword be viewed just as effective as with the knife? Perhaps if what style of sword was being imagined, hacking vs thrusting design, but that would be splitting hairs I would think. Having helped run similar tournaments, I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this. Solely in the interest of increasing understanding and knowledge, Steve From: Martial Way To: Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 12:24:19 -0500 Subject: [Eskrima] Edge 2008 - Rules & Pre-Register Deadline!!! Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hello Everyone, I just wanted to keep you up to date on our big event coming up in three weeks on Saturday, May 17th. The Edge Knife & Stick Fighting Championships is making a come back after a full year off. Up posted on our website is the most recent update on the rules so definitely check it out as soon as you can. Most of the divisions are the same; with a new format to the Continuous Divisions that should really help the coaches, competitors and audience keep up with the scoring. --__--__-- Message: 2 From: Ray To: Eskrima-Digest Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 17:36:35 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] Back from OH Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Back from Ohio. The Eskrimathon went well again this year. Small, only 19 people, but we worked on full contact sparring, so that was plenty large enough.
