Here's some more whatdaya think

Gabster:

I trained at a boxing gym and had some top notch boxers there.  I had a tough time making techniques work on their punches, to fast to proper... It isn't the system doesn't work, it is some people don't make the mistakes most do for us to capitalize on.

It is knowledge and training, for example. Yesterday I only had enough time for some bag work, so I did the speed bag for 30 minutes and 15 or so on a heavy and then shadow, lot's of foot work and foot work dills in the last 15 min...Move feet even if on the speed bag. Important to the max.

Speed bag, make it a ritual.

That is a great way to put it... I never ever insinuated the system doesn't work. Against a sidelock, our techniques work much better then anything i have seen elsewhere. I don't know where I got the side headlock i use from, but I did it what way long before I started taking martial arts..I see your in Vegas.. I get out there ever so often, I would love to check out your school, and possibly hit the mats a bit in the future...

Of course it might be hard to find time between the tables, the clubs, and the cabana poolside.... but maybe I could make an extra day in there lol.

 

Yea and for the record I wasn't accusing you of saying the system doen't work.  I am currently without a school, just training a few guys where ever I can find a place.  But that being said we can find a way to work it out, let me know when you are in town and we can bang.

Do you do sticks (Escrima,Arnis,Kali) There is a drill that can go on forever it seems. The weaving of the sticks "Sinawali", many variations.

But basicly it is where 5 and 7 swords comes from IMHO. But since "they" mention "Chinese went to the Islands" a long time ago, some one could make a case that it is all Chinese. Probably why EPSr. after working with several from various Chinatowns went that route.

Back to Sinawali, it is a great drill that can be done with bags or without them. I would say if you want to improve hand speed you should go to Sinawali and the speed bag. I figure you are being somewhat sarcastic in your remark, but I am serious. Not many know what the leader of the pack is doing or thinking, he will give some information out, but the secrets they will not share. Do Sinawali and learn for your own sake.
