Hello everyone, Thanks for approving me for entry into this group.

Yo Curt! I wanna get in on some of the weapons training. My time here
in NC shall end before long and I will be moving back to Houston
before the new year. I've had a lot of fun training with these boys
from Ft Bragg. I'm gonna miss all the hardcore training I've enjoyed
sharing with this group and I hope to pick up where I left off soon.

I've never had the chance to play at the Fairre. That sounds like
alot of fun. One of these days, hopefully the chance will come
around. As for when I come back to Houston, it looks like I'll be
arriving sometime before December. Email me your number and I'll call
you after I settle in when I'm back.

  Hey Daniel...when are you moving back to Houston?  I've got a few
guys training with swords and knives that are pretty into it.  Since
it's fair  season we haven't been able to get together much...but
it's a lot of fun when we  do. I'm in the process of moving our
school.  Actually...I moved it about a month and a half ago and it
was probably the worst mistake of my life...so  we're moving again on
the 13th of this month.  So I haven't been able to  get out and play
at the fest this year.  That and the motor of my car blew  out on
me...so there's no transportation for at least another few days. But
we'll set up some time when you get back to Houston.

These videos were submitted to youtube.com by Leo Quitalon of his students in his Sugarland Lightning Arnis group, Kali-Kilat.  Leo's got an active group of young enthusiastic fighters as you'll notice in the videos. There were so many different ages of players in the mix that day. An even number of ages from 17 to 65 years old! This day was a day for those that really loved to apply what they've learned to their matches, and had so much fun. The matches did range from padded stick, rubber dagger, to live stick and even longsword from the Western MA. A new change that will take place in the next gathering will be to make it optional to wear the big padded vest used in WEKAF tourneys. Good. I hate using those things. Some matches will be designated in a new division as "stick only" matches due to some of the participants from the 1st meet that never  grappled in a stickfight before. They want to stay as 'close to home' as they can. There will also be open divisions where everything including punch, kick, knee, elbow, box, throw and ground and pound and submission will be included. Padded vest or no vest with live stick.

These matches were filmed on November 26, 2006 at Hermann Park in Houston Texas hosted by the Houston Stickfighting Association headed by [student of Tim Mousel] Johnathan Bolton and Manong Joe Galleon.

Hey hey guys. LONG time and sadly NO chatty. Last I checke din with
y'all I was in NC I think. Here is a brief update 'bout my
whereabouts.

Firstly: When I went to NC I ended up homeless and pennyless. Made a
move to enter the Army but my eyes failed, and got a DQ. Sooner after
I got a waiver to go get LASIK srgery. My wonderful and highly
supporting family sent me to Oregon and I got LASIK surgery, which
was highly successful.
Secondly: Soon after LASIK and waiting the required medical time
period for my eyes to heal as per army regulation, I went to work in
Idaho at a private golf club, and made buku bucks. End of summer '06,
I went to Japan to improve my Japanese skills, and lived tehre for a
month. Came back in December, and enlisted in the US Army Reserves.

Current: I'm getting ready to ship out to Basic Trainihng/AIT at Ft.
Lenard Wood Missourri, where I will be for 14 weeks. I'll continue to
live in Portland, Oregon whlie I work towards my goal in asian
linguistics, specializing in Japanese. I'm going back to Japan in the
summer, and winter for about 3 1/2 weeks each to a) improve my skills
and b) take the JLPT test taht is administered once a year (very
important).

I WILL be renewing activity in LARPING, and plan to find a place
around here that teachs either A) Krav Maga B) Tai Chi Chuan
(fighting style, not medicinal), and/or C) Kenjitsu.

So, did the deal with the daggers ever get figured out, and people
actually got ahold of them or what? ;) I want my dagger hehe.

March!


The Houston Stickfighting Association will be at it again for the 1st of
quarterly scheduled combative events featuring martial artists of all
"stick-based" fighting styles and NOT LIMITED TO, the Filipino MA systems, but
also open to Japanese, Okinawan, Chinese, Thai also including European-style
MAists.

  Matches are fought with various sorts of martial art weaponry from the Filipino
rattan sticks, wooden/rubber training dagger duels, wooden sword and dagger,
staff, wooden longswords in series of "friendly exchanges" betwen players in a 2
minute round. This is a FULL-CONTACT event featuring members of this
organization going at it where there are no judges, no trophies, no winners, or
losers. This is not a tournament. Just a group of guys open-minded enough to
cross skills with other martial arts weapons from the Oriental martial arts to
the Western/European(Medival/Rennaisance era) weapons systems.

The event will begin at 9 am in the morning at Oyster Creek Park off of highway
6 South between Dulles Ave and Settlers Way. Matches go on until the afternoon

-Sorry I haven't replied sooner, just got out of the hospital-ulsers.
Anyway, I like to do things that others don't/won't do, within
reason.. :0)
Think I need a distraction from the world around me. Also need to
find an arts style that is compatible with my body build and age.
Do want to learn some weapons now..ie sword, bo, knife for defence,
mostly for the body/ mind training.
Have a great day...
