Might anyone know where you can get this items, especially the Yunnan Paiyao? I'm sure mail-order sources are a Google search away, but the stuff is cheap enough that shipping will add significantly to the cost. Your best bet is to stock up whenever you're someplace with a Chinatown, or look in a l...

I remember one time I got jumped. Come to find out later, these were some bad muthafuckas. There was no where for me to go, so I just said fornicate it, and started throwing blows. This effectively saved my life, fighting them off, bobbing and weaving, but you fight the way you train. I hadn't deve...

Colloidal Silver- this is suspension of silver particles in water. it's primary use is as an alternative antibiotic and i have used it many times for that purpose. silver is effective against over 1200 virus and bacteria. it seems to work faster and better that antibiotics in most cases, in my opin...

The Four Corners form is a bit different than the Lion movement that Dan is talking about, and I believe it's different from the Four Directions form that Jeff is talking about (if he's referring to the one that starts from a three, and opens with a back hand to crane hook and back fist). I've done ...

Personally, I think the difference that Mike notes is at least as much a product of differences between Japanese culture and Indonesian culture as anything else. Japanese culture tends to be very structured and procedural. That's reflected in Japanese martial arts, which tend to be very regimented i...

Jerry, Slight change in plans on Rochester. Mr. Salomone will be coming here to Alexandria first, and is currently playing it by ear as to whether he'll be going to Rochester from here. I'm sure that once it's decided, if he's going to do a seminar up in Rochester, Sifu George will announce it here ...

Last time I spoke to him, he hadn't yet booked travel, but the dates are pretty much set. I know I've begun the process to reserve space for the seminar here in VA, and that his plan is to go to Rochester for some amount of time before coming down to VA either Friday night or Saturday morning. Given...

Non-toxic Dit Da Jow
I had been told by a number of practitioners from different systems that the stuff was toxic. Even though I knew none of the original ingredients were toxic, I assumed that the fact that creating it concentrates the ingredients a good deal might make it toxic. Speaking of Jow toxicity... I made some...

General consensus has always been that Dit Da Jow is toxic. I've never tried drinking it, but given the number of people who have told me that it'll kill me (or at least make me very sick), I'm in no hurry to test its toxicity (even though the simplified method I'm familiar with for making it doesn'...

doesn't some of the stick training come from outside the art as well? Depends on who you're learning from. If you were learning from me, yes, some of the stick training was imported from another art. If you learn from Dan Donzella (or one of his students), I expect he's folded his kali experience i...

Re: Reeder's weapons
I have always been curious about which weapons GGM Reeders used. I have heard that he had mastered 81 weapons and two of his favorites were the bullwhip and the Tji jiu (not sure of spelling, but the Indonesian version of the sai). What are the rest? Does anyone know? The weapon is the "Titjiu...

If I recall correctly, 81 is a common number in Chinese numerology. Chinese culture is rife with exaggeration. Old men are said to be in excess of 120 years old when they may be in their 70's, etc. It's not dishonesty per se, since it's so ingrained in the culture. My personal suspicion is that this...

Thanks, Sifu Dan.
Yes, your answer makes sense to me, although I should have specified that I was thinking about the empty-hand aspects of Innosanto Kali. (In my experience the armed and empty handed Innosanto footwork is pretty much the same.)
