And we do hear the good old brother Clint and his good lady and new child will be joining us in the PI. And I have a strong feeling the Irish lads will be there too.
Anyone else????
Great stuff. |

There could not be a better line up of people if I chose them myself.
I believe in surrounding myself with nice people.

Will you be teaching this method separate from the RA & DP multi-style systems? or will you be blending SM into RA?
Is there much difference with the grading curriculum /levels between DP Multistyle and SM?
This link here is about the best resource I can find on the San Miguel system for those that are interested

Dear Riki,
Thanks for the link to my site. I've had to cut down on the size of the site due to the need to showcase my other services. The new site is:
http://www.northshoreac.com/san_miguel_eskrima.htm
I've put some video up on my site and also on www.youtube.com.
Best,

Ok after reading steves intro.A question arises.
there are a variety of weapons trained in the SME my question is What weapeons are studied in the San Miguel system,eskrido system and the multi-style system.
I know of single olisi-double olisi - daga - olisi & daga- Long staff.
I have heard of knife throwing-bullwhip.
So what weapeons are trained in what system?
cheers |

Dear Riki,
Before answering your question I should clarify: the
San Miguel Eskrima system taught to me by Tom Bisio reflects what he learned at a certain time (late '70's to mid-80's). Tom didn't learn some of the weapons that may be sub-systems of SME, namely knife, double-knife, double-axe; he learned SME as essentially an espada y daga system with certain ancillary weapons taught to develop the attributes of espada y daga technique. The ancillary weapons are as follows:
double stick
spear (bangkaw)
ananangkil (50" stick)
bull whip; rope whip (latigo)
chain (cadena)
throwing knife
While I've had a lot of experience with the first three of this set, I don't have any with the last three. That's why I plan to devote some time to them this spring and summer.
Best,
Steve Lamade |

Cheers for your reply Steve.
The weapons you mention is that just for SME or does that include the multistyle and eskrido systems as well? |

Riki,
I don't know. Certainly they are not exclusive to SME - anyone can use them for the same purposes.
As taught by Momoy they were intended to bring out certain attributes that he considered important. Double stick for example is designed to bring out ambidexterity (although it is interesting that the double stick form that I learned reflects double stick as if an espada y daga practitioner was performing it). It probably also reflects the influence of Momoy's older brother. Bangkaw is designed to teach you to link the shoulders together as a body mechanic since it is essentially a large lever. Ananangkil teaches you how to produce power with your legs and waist as well as to "stand in" against a larger, stronger opponent. The chain builds wrist strength although I suspect that it's also designed to help you to develop internal body mechanics. The whip helps to develop relaxed power as well as the ability to extend your intention to the tip of the weapon. The throwing knife helps to develop focus and concentration as well as relaxed power, etc.
Re. Eskrido I would imagine that you could develop similar methods for linking up your locks and throws to what the Chinese call "Dan Tien" and what the Japanese call "hara."
Best,
Steve |

I do know that florida and la are massively expensive and 2 places I have never recommended,along with new york, to visit.Just way too expensive and major tourist traps.
But then again,it depends on what you are looking for.
If you want laid back,polite living for very nice prices...
then go a little farther north of florida.
I am a sucker for the south eastern seaboard of the US.
Chaleston,South Carolina is amazing and it's right on the coast.
VERY relaxed! and quite cheap as well.the rest of south carolina pretty much blows chunks,but charleston is worth it!
The coast of north carolina is always worth venturing into as well.
Beaufort is where they have the "graveyard of the atlantic".Old ships and the like.The western part of N.C also has a great mountain ranges and a huge native american (cherokee) culture as well.
The coast of virgina is always a winner as well.
Inland; Columbus ohio is good for a trip and easy on the wallet.
Nice museums there. Ohio also 3 0f the top 10(I do believe 1 or 2 of the top 5) rollercoasters in the world.
Chicago: AWSOME blues clubs!
People sometimes forget we have 47 other states
I am always willing to throw out some pointers if people wish.
Ask away!
