I¢ve divided the 27 minute chapter into seven segments so they will be easy to download. Part 5 has a knife fight that is based on Pekiti-Tirsia techniques. Each segment is paired with a different illustration from the novel. The audio is done by veteran British actor James Brinkley.   Please give Asulon a listen and give me your thoughts on this book and the whole idea of putting audio books on YouTube.   You¢ll find the first segment of Asulon here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNS69i_VncM&feature=related   You can also find it by entering Asulon into the YouTube search bar.     Thanks, Bill McGrath www.TheSwordofFire.com www.pekiti.com http://www.youtube.com/user/TuhonBillMcg --__--__-- _______________________________________________ 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 1994-2008: Ray Terry, MartialArtsResource.com, Sudlud.com Standard disclaimers apply.
