Instantaneous Adaptation!

 Ok i got 6 sanded sticks in a 4 inch round sealed (hopefully) tube full of boiled linseed oil. in 2 weeks i will see how they are and maybe do more. !! Thanks to previous advice from a fellow eskrimador and a experienced stick soaker i had no trouble at all. ;)
 

 Just saying  HAPPY HOLIDAYZ TO ALL!! AND A GREAT HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO!! 
 

 I am so looking forward to Suro's visit to Wisconsin next week ;) The Saturday seminars will be great and I get to share them with 2 of my daughters!
 

Greetings!
For those of you who aren't in the know, I have recently been experiencing some minor issues with my vision. I came to the sudden realization last night that eye glasses do not always clear the issue up!
 

Happy Father's Day! Thought you might like to know Jena and Robert's son, your grandson, is doing great. He's a strong boy and in a few years he will be training in the family art. Emmie, your granddaughter, has been training for ten years now and turning into a fine eskrimador.

 Happy fathers day to all dad's and granddad's out there today. hope your day is great. ;)

 Just a quick post here, nothing more then the link to a Youtube Video posted of myself in London in 2005... not to self: never do that hair again....

A Matter of Perspective
“So what I said was true, from a certain point of view.” Obiwan Kenobi

Lately I’ve been hearing a similar message from many different people that are a part of different areas of my life. My pastor might say, “your mind has control over your body.” My boss might say, “believe in your success to achieve it.” Suro will say, “Envision how you would move, act, talk, fight if you were the perfect warrior or version of your self – and then go do those things.”

The other day I described my first attempt at soaking a batch of rattan sticks. This effort, while ultimately successful, was frightfully flawed. The flaws came from a combination of lack of experience and my own lack of common sense. A week passed from when I first immersed these sticks and the time had come to remove them for drying, add another batch, and see if I had learned anything.

 Where is a good place or web sight to get Eskrima sticks from? I have tried several sights some with great sucess and some not so good. Also is there a web sight i can go to to learn to grow rattan and get starter palnts or seeds? I know being  from Wisconsin the weather probably won't let me but nothing ventured nothing gained.
