I've found sparring multiple opponents to be a great training
exercise.  Lots o' fun, too!  In the following, I'm *not*
referring to doing it with kids, but with big folks.
You'd have to be awful careful with kids involved.
I bet they loved it, though...

> I put on a cup (very important with kids!)

Whatever protection ( e.g. pads ) you might normally wear become
*very* important in this kind of sparring, as things get wild and wooly
very quickly.

We did this in my dojo occasionally, where you spar against 2 or 3
opponents.  This was real interesting.  It definitely keeps you hopping,
as you quickly realize you can't afford to stand still or get
trapped in a corner.  You are constantly moving, trying to keep
one opponent between you and the others.  A common strategy is
to go after one, close, then use them as a shield.

Another variation:

Myself and another black belt used to take on the whole class (~20 people).
We established the rule that when we scored a "could have disabled"
technique on a person, they dropped out.  (Please skip the flames
about how realistic this was or was not; this was an excercise)
We then fought until only the two of us were left.  Try this a
couple of times; it's exhausting.

Both of these are great fun.  They let you indulge your 
"Kung Fu Masters of Death" fantasies.  They also teach some real
lessons about movement, evasion, and dealing hard and fast with
one opponent so you can be ready for the next.  And, of course, 
they are great excercise, leaving you totally exhausted.

Be careful, though.  In the thick of things, it's easier for this to
get out of hand than in the more controlled arena of one-on-one sparring.

This is a complex subject.  A thorough message is way beyond the scope
of what can be included in a bulletin board message; however, you might
think of it metaphorically as taking an electrical circuit and modifying
it to operate with much higher currents.  The issues are both physical
and "mental."  (By the way, where do you draw the line?)

There are many types of chi kung training and many aspects to the
training.  The coarsest types are very similar to western aerobics.
Running is chi kung.  A good abdominal workout is chi kung.  Tai
Chi is chi kung. In some advanced types of chi kung, there is no
obvious external movement or change in the breathing pattern.  All
the work is internal.  Some types of chi kung will give you a 
weight lifter's physique without lifting weights.  Some chi kung is
designed to improve health.  Some is for martial artists.  Some
is for people interested in meditation.  The common denominator
is cultivation and control of energy.

That's an interesting example, David.  I can't think of why any civilian
would want to carry one of those icepicks they call 'Commando' knives,
except to scare people with.  And I think the Mk II probably falls somewhere 
in that category.   Can't do half the things you can do with a simple
Bowie-style knife.  And I'd think that includes 'fighting,' although I
would never use it for that except as an absolute last resort.  Knife
fights tend not to leave any clear winners, and usually leave lots of clear 
losers.  If you carry a Mk I or Mk II or Fairbairn-Sykes style blade,
you still need to carry another one anyway, even if just to whittle.  :-)
So why bother ?  Both Gerber and Randall make good examples of non-fighting
knives that would suit the purpose if they had to.  ANd look a lot less
suspicious if you get frisked with one, as a bonus.  ;-)

Hi Folks -

As you might have surmised from the title, I've become rather
interested in learning more about some of the Filipino martial arts.
So, does anyone know of a school or practitioner in the northern

Due to family and work responsibilities, I can't likely travel too far.

I have a good background in Okinawan karate, so if I could find someone
to work out with, maybe swap some techniques/knowledge, that might
well be even better than a school.

Anyway, if anyone knows of any possibilities, please get in touch
with me at att!alice!garry.

	During a recent "pre-test", Sensei called up individuals and had them
go through a dry run of possible test material.

	She calls me up and says "Shomen-uchi ikkyo". I've been practicing this

Halfway through the spin cycle, I say "Ooops!" and let him out of orbit.
