Wang, a gold medalist in last year’s World Championships, also in Beijing , won the gold with 19.44 points. Taipei ’s Pe Wei Thuan took the silver with 19.39 points while Malaysia ’s Pei Fu Zhun settled for the bronze with 19.34 points. Medals won in wushu will not reflect in the overall standings of the ongoing Olympics. “Still, we are all very excited here,” said Philippine Wushu Federation honorary lifetime president Francis Chan in an overseas call to Manila . First Gentleman Mike Arroyo witnessed the victory, and was so excited, too, according to Chan. Arroyo supported the RP wushu team that competed here along with San Miguel Corporation. “The First Gentleman was very happy that our National Anthem was played. We couldn’t get any medal in the other sports. We were not fortunate enough. At least we won the gold in wushu,” said Chan. “We lost in every other event here. We at wushu never said so much but we won the gold. This is the result of our athletes’ eight months of training here in China ,” he added. Marian Mariano also assured herself of a bronze by reaching the semifinals of the sanshou or combat event where she will next face an Iranian. Benjie Rivera and Mary Jane Estimar will see action Saturday morning, hoping to follow Wang’s footsteps, and win the gold. --__--__-- Message: 3 From: W S To: "eskrima@martialartsresource.net" Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:16:11 -0400 Subject: [Eskrima] RE: Western bladed arts Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hey folks, I haven't posted for quite a while but I'm back and will add my $.22 (adjusted for inflation ;) ). That is indeed a good resource. We started looking at WWA back in 1999 and started comparing what we found to our FMA training and indeed find that similarities do abound. For any who might be interested I do have a page on my website that notes this and talks about how we incorporate it into our current training. http://www.mongrelcombativearts.com/24.html Best regards, Guro William Schultz Mongrel Combative Arts. www.mongrelcombativearts.com >Hi Folks, >There's a good source for info on western weapons arts at: >http://www.thearma.org/reading.htm > >You find the old sword manuals used by the instructors in the YouTube clips I >mentioned in my last post. > >I don't do any western weapon arts (other than the kind that go boom), but >I do find the similarities to FMA, when I encounter them, interesting. > > >Regards, >Tuhon Bill McGrath _________________________________________________________________ Talk to your Yahoo!

Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:06:43 -0700 (PDT) From: william mcgrath To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Europe & FMA Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Hi Folks, Here are some videos I found on YouTube. They show the use of European weapons that are closer in size to what we see in FMA than a rapier. Perhaps this is a case of function following form, but the movements here are the closest I¢ve seen in Euro MA to what we see in FMA. As others on the list have said, there are only so many ways to swing a sword or lock an arm.

Nope. He was a modern fencer who started studying historical European swordsmanship. >> you tell me, http://www.swordschool.com/school/syllabus.html >> this curriculums looks lot like it has philippine martial arts! Except I don't think the ancient fencing masters (Fiore, Ringeck, Vadi, Fabris, Silver, Viggiani, Marozzo, Angelo) who's works he demonstrates and teaches ever visited the Philippines.
