"The Eternal Quest"
Pilot Proposal, Martial Arts Series
We envision the well-know Doug Cohen in the part of Teacher.
The first episode examines his motivations for leaving China behind and
traveling across the US, forever searching for...something.

ACT 1, SCENE 1
A quiet forest temple.  TEACHER walks through a courtyard with two NEW
STUDENTS as 50 or so students practice Kung Fu around them.  The NEW STUDENTS
are clearly interested.  They stop and look for a moment, then follow
TEACHER to WEAPONS RACK.

TEACHER: And you see, we also teach weapons.  We have sword, staff, spear,
horse-cutter...

FIRST STUDENT: <reaches to touch SPEAR> Why does this have a red fringe,
Teacher?  Will I get one on *my* spear, if I study with you?

TEACHER: <Chuckles, withdraws SPEAR> Well, this is a tournament spear, so it
has a little more formal look to it.  It is made of a special wood, waxwood,
which...

SECOND STUDENT: <surprised> Waxwood?  Teacher, what is the virtue of a 
waxwood spear, as opposed to an ordinary spear?

TEACHER: <places SPEAR HEAD on ground, flexes SPEAR> Well, waxwood is very
strong and flexible.  This spear has won many competitions.  See, I can 
almost bend it double...

SOUND EFFECT: CRRAACCKK!!!!!

TEACHER: <Surprised> Oh, SHIT!  My favorite spear!

STUDENTS: <Gales of Derisive Laughter, Bruce>

TEACHER advances on laughing STUDENTS as scene fades.

ACT 1 SCENE 2
A battered CLIPPER SHIP docked in SAN FRANCISCO HARBOR, circa 1870.  TEACHER
carries a small BAG, with a SPEAR HEAD attached to CHAIN around his neck.

TEACHER: So, this is America...

CUT to shot of TEACHER walking into crowd and heading off towards his destiny...

Well, I'll violate "strict netiquette" here and say that I just e-mailed
Izar asking about the FAQ, and he sent me back a message that he had been
travelling and intended to post it again soon. 

I think a robust FAQ, posted at least monthly, would really be useful.  A
lot of interested non-MA visit the group looking for basic info (IMHO).

I recently bought a Lungchuan straight sword from Beijing Imports in
Texas. I know nothing about caring for swords so, I have a few questions
that I hope someone can answer.  First of all, what's the best way to
clean the sword? (It's not stainless steel). I understand that the sword
is supposed to be oiled when not being used for a while (to prevent
rusting). What sort of oil should I use and what's the best way to apply 
it to the blade? And finally, if the sword does start to rust, how do I
clean it off?

I'm also curious if anyone has seen Burton Richardson's Jeet Kune Do
Concepts video series. They are sold through Unique Publications (pub-
lishers of Inside Kung-Fu magazine). I'd like to know what's on them and
if they're worth (in your opinion) the purchasing price.

I think I understand your defensiveness or sarcasm, Steve, but realize that 
the light, slapping blocks found in karate are a relatively advanced idea, 
incorporated into the footwork and stance mechanics of that art, which are 
different from those used in other arts, and very different from Judo
mechanics, I think.

My impression from what little I know of Judo is that the mechanics of various
other arts would be more appropriate to the task, and would blend better with
Judo footwork.   I could very well be wrong about that, as I said, but I think 
your response implying that I was denigrating karate for not having slapping
movements was unfair.  That's not what I meant to say.  I meant to say that 
other arts emphasize that aspect more, and (seemed to me) to be more easily 
and robustly applicable to a grappler's game.   The checking movements
in Parker's Kenpo system, the trapping hands movements in Arnis, the
sensitivity skills in Chi Sao, and so on.  Any one of these games would
(my impression) develop hand-disengagement skills more quickly than
most karate training.   I hope that helps clarify.   Like I said, maybe
the whole idea is silly, though.

As far as the martial-arts-related content of his book, I think
it looks more like the result of twenty years of overheard
locker-room conversation than like the result of any research,
however brief. I did kind of enjoy reading the (admittedly
self-congratulatory) behind-the-scenes stories about the
making of the series. The stuff that passes for philosophy I
could have done without entirely, along with the gratuitous
swaggering about his martial arts skills.

So far as I know all the classical Aikido styles have a lot of
emphasis on weapons.  This though tends to confined to the Jo,
Bo, Ken and Nagatana.  There is some variation in this with some
style using more than others and some having additional weapons.

In Aiki Ju Jitsu there is a much stronger connection with weapons
with a wider range being used.   A lot of the Katas are weapon taking.

Yes, Ueshiba studied Daito Ryu and much of modern Aikido is
derived from the Daito Ryu style of Aiki Ju Jitsu.
