The Last Person.....

[Carol]

You are!

BTW, Carol, I've seen Silat demonstrated (on me!) and the students ability to get to my outside was stunning. Have you found the same in Silat as opposed to Karate?

Very much so. None of the Pencak Silat that I have been exposed to is done on the attacker's centerline. Moving to the outside can also put one in a position to take leverage against an attacker...which is particularly helpful for training with someone bigger than me.

My training partner is nearly a foot taller and nearly 100 pounds heavier than me. If I can throw him, I think the application will work on the street.

You bet! Just watch out for going to the ground on your own, which is what I noticed was prevalent in the silat I was shown. Better to do it yourself, than to have them do it, but, should be avoided.

interested in learning

Hi g-bells how are you?

I'm trying to get myself to be o.k. with joining --lol! Other than that, it's Carol's school and teacher, I don't mind. The more the better. As we all stumble around together, we'll have each other to help hold us up. Lol!

lol

You bet! And everyone else in school will help us stand up too...because they've all been there

Good to hear that. A helpful atmosphere is great. Seems like they are rare now a days. People come in do their thing and leave usually.

That is unfortunately the way with a lot of places. Here though, Mike and May really do make you feel like family. First instructors I've had that made me genuinely feel like they are my friends. I've been to their house for a school barbeque and ridden shotgun with them down to Everett for a trip to the Filipino/Asian grocery. Good folks. You'll fit right in.

Well I checked out the link you have, it really looks like they know their stuff. Maybe I'll try and get up the energy and pop in to the school soon, to check it out. (maybe the witch museum too lol. Haven't seen it since a kid)

There ya go! Andy Moynihan trains there as well - the fellow with the sniper kitten avatar. He began training there this summer...there are a few noobs and relative noobs.

How about some old's that are noob's? (or just outdated-lol)
