They hide their true intentions under apparently normal and innocent behaviors while they develop the trap. However, there are certain key danger signs that cannot be disguised, the criminal MUST do them. This class will teach you how to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations through non-violent means.The physical self-defense aspect is for when there is no other choice. For more information http://www.diac.com/~dgordon>>>>>> This seminar is by my friend Marc MacYoung, so natually I recommend it highly. Marc wrote the foreword to my book, and his 10th book was just released this month. He has also done 5 videos. >> I will second this. Two of Marc's books are required reading our Self Defense classes. If you wish to check out some reviews on his books, stop by our martial arts website (http://users.aol.com/taoart/amwa/amwa.htm). He is extremely knowledgeable and.. ahem, forthright. :) If you have problems with the use of "colorful metaphors" then his stuff isn't for you. If you want good, hard, proven concepts and techniques, then go. M.

Correction to this...Tom Lynn Jr. Competed in the World Collegiatre Championships in Mexico...I believe he placed 4th...sorry for the mistake! ------------------------------ From: "Stratton, Sam" Date: Wed, 3 Nov 1999 09:45:08 -0800 Subject: the_dojang: Sportsmanship, a double edged sword I was wondering if in the tournament rules of the USTU, there are any sections dealing specifically with sportsmanship? I was in a match with the son of a master (The master had trained me for a few months, which I thoroughly enjoyed and learned much.) I had also begun to instruct the children's class (which does wonders for your own technique.) Anyway I was at the match, the Master's son got off to a slow start. He was not using his kicks effectively (too far away) and My desire to coach got the better of me, I slowed down a bit, blocking for the most part. When my opponent landed a marginal point in I cheered him on by saying "Good Job!, don't stop at one, use combos!" Thats when the ref pointed at me and gave me a warning to shut up. The moral of the story is,... well... I guess its "Too good of sportsmanship can bite you also" Sam Stratton 1st Dan WTF http://www.freeyellow.com/members6/transamsam/ ------------------------------ From: "Anthony or Clare Boyd" Date: Thu, 4 Nov 1999 22:27:57 +0900 Subject: the_dojang: Thailand Are there any list members in Thailand (Bangkok)? My wife is forcing me = to take a vacation and has decided I should take it in a country I have = no desire to go to. My guess is that I will be changing roles from = martial arts student to beast of burden. Some vacation! I can't fight = her on the matter however as I'm back in the tender care of the local = acupuncturist/torturer due to the strains of 'demonstration season.' If there are any KMA types lurking in bangkok and you want to meet up = for a sharing of the martial wealth please let me know via private = e-mail.
