Sorry, Tami was beating me to a pulp all weekend at EWC2000. Looks like there was alot of activity while we were gone. We got to spend some time with Ernie. He is awesome in his presentation of self defense tactics. A good deal of the flak he gets for his martial arts style would get dispelled quickly if they were seen in person. It was a great time.

Jason,
Nyeti is right on !
Great time. There were alot of different angles and approaches by different instructors. Ernie's was High Speed, Low Drag
and really addressed the issue of Immediate
Primal Reactions. Remember there's really three F's (no not those !) not two like some advocate. Flight, Fight or Freeze. He gave a High Intensity seminar that was right on !
Nyeti was great to work with and as I experimented with differnt BJJ techniques he helped me dispell some of the false realities
w/ a committed attacker. He's strong and has some big elbows that are very effective when placed w/ pressure at one's throat when grappling.
We discovered some cool stuff that will work
and discarded the stuff that does'nt. Sounds familiar does'nt it !
Most of the stuff was FMA specifically Guro Suite, Leo Gajie and Inosanto/La Coste influenced. Pekiti Tersia offered an excellent new defense and counter to a tough thrusting line that probably has the best potential I've seen to date.
Great time, Good BUDO, and great spirit !
IMHO

Ditto with Tamishigiri. I really got a lot out of Ernies training, as well as hanging out with Harry Humphries all weekend. I got a great new appreciation for the Commander, and received some great training from Steve Tarani. The rapid deployment of the Commander combined with Ernies dynamic response to attack really impressed me as some of the most real world applicable stuff that I have seen. The martial artists can pooh pooh Ernies technique all they want, I think they would change their minds if they actually saw him respond to an attack. Ernie did all his demos on Tamishigiri (who does not give an inch in training, trust me) and they worked very well.

Now that I've recovered from my contusions and abrasions can't wait for the next Weapon Event. Other than R.O.S. anyone else out there in Cyberland heard of any decent training going on Edged Weapon wise ?
Thanks
