It is 6th Gup. I have a set of books up to 4th Gup (and one for 1st dan black belt). It is an interesting system. Robert Martin ------------------------------ From: UTAKOTKD@aol.com Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 23:31:24 EST Subject: the_dojang: Re: The_Dojang-Digest V8 #99 Mr. Kluzek: I have a student that has knee trouble. However, the knee trouble is not the same but the altercations in training have helped the student and may help yours. Hope- fully this advice will be of some use for you or anyone else. 1. Squats: No weights, start out with 50 reps and gradually increase. Feet slightly wider than shoulders. Squat to 45% to 90% angle. 2. Patterns: Restrict the training to focus on patterns. 3. Squat-n-Kick: Same as above. This time as you rise from the squat, deliver front kick or side kick or back kick. If you or the student choose to try this training, be sure that the student is wearing some sort of knee brace or knee wrap. Another tip: After work-out, immediately apply ice, then heat, then ice. Let me know how things work out. Respectfully: Willy James-UTA Head Instructor ------------------------------ From: "Rudy Timmerman" Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 00:13:26 -0500 Subject: the_dojang: Ohio Udell writes: > I'm always interested in meeting new friends as well.

Ray Terry raymail@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 8:52:20 PST Subject: the_dojang: The (FMA) Grandfathers Speak Just viewed the videotape The Grandfathers Speak from Marc "CraftyDog" Denny and the Dog Brothers. Excellent! A great piece of Eskrima/FMA history all on just one tape. Old footage some of the old Eskrimadors in action, plus footage of them speaking about the future, and past, of Eskrima. A real must addition to your Eskrima video library, IMHO. I also obtained a copy of selected fights from Dog Brothers' Gatherings of the latter part of the 90s. The video contains some excellent full contact fight footage. A very good tape to obtain if you're thinking of attending one of their biannual events in Southern California. http://www.dogbrothers.com Ray Terry raymail@hpwsrt.cup.hp.com ------------------------------ From: Ray Terry Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 9:10:59 PST Subject: the_dojang: Krav Maga, Line of Fire In The_Dojang we were recently talking about handgun disarms and practice guns. I was sent a copy of Darren Levine's video Line of Fire from his Krav Maga series. On the Edge is another video in their series on defending against knife attack. As you know, Krav Maga is the empty-hand art taught to the Israeli defense forces. Line of Fire is rather good. It slowly and clearly goes through how one might respond to a variety of handgun threats. Granted, attempting to disarm a mugger should be a last recourse, but should the need arise this tape provides good instruction on how to practice the techniques. It breaks down techniques into the steps of redirecting the line of fire, controlling the weapon, and then disarming the gunman. It goes through scenarios of threat from the front, rear, and side (gun in front or the arm and gun in back of the arm). It clearly teaches one response to each attack. While in some cases I personally prefer a different response to the one they teach, it does provide potentially workable disarms should one have no other recourse but to attempt to disarm their attacker. This tape is available from Amazon.com and also kravmaga.com. The practice guns they use and recommend are the ASP Redguns.
