Water & Steel 2002
I noticed some information on Water and Steel had come up on another thread and I cannot remember where so I will post the info I have here for this year?s camp.
As of now the instructors will be:
Of course Datu Worden, Professor Leonard Trigg & Dr. Brett Jacques
Datu Worden usually has an unscheduled instructor or two or three show up throughout the camp.
We are all failure with Datu Worden and what he does so I will move on the Professor Trigg & Dr. Jacques.
Professor Trigg ? LUCAYLUCAY, JKD, AMERICAN BOXING, LAMECO ? I first saw him and he looked like a very low key track coach complete with whistle and stop watch. He has a very easy-going delivery with his voice, and moves almost lazily, which really fools you. Even so, since he was at Water and Steel we knew this guy was serious business and he showed us how serious ? Have you ever been hit six times in six different spots from six different directions before you could blink? Well the poor soul who volunteered to be his demo was he was so quick we had to ask Professor to repeat the demo about ten times (I think most of us got it after the third time but sometimes its fun to watch one of your friends get smacked around a little). OK no one ever said we always had to be nice to our friend?s right?
Dr. Brett Jacques - STREET SOMBO - Dr. Brett, as he is known looks like a grappler and has knowledge of the body few understand because he is also a Naturopathic Physician (it?s a good thing he isn?t a Chiropractor). The first class I took from Dr. Brett I learned new and interesting ways to beat people with furniture. You see the Russians had many of their government employees assaulted while they were sitting behind their desks. You know, telling people they had no food to give them or ?Congratulations Comrade you are going on vacation to the Gulag for the next 20 years?. Therefore, they developed a whole branch of Sambo on using the desk or other office furniture as a weapon instead of a barrier or obstacle to place between you and your assailant. It was lots of fun learning how to use a desk to take out your partner. http://www.americansambo.com/
The camp cost includes Room and Board
Meals are large and hardy (you will need the energy), Instructors eat with the students so you get the opportunity to pump their brains some more during dinner or shoot the bull if you wish.
A typical day at camp would go as follows (forgive me if the time is off a bit I am going from memory):
7 ? 7:30 Qi gong
7:30 ? 8:30 Breakfast
8:30 ? 12:00 Training sessions with Datus Worden and Dr. Jaques
12:00 ? 1:30 Lunch
1:30 ? 6:00 Training sessions with Datu Worden, Dr. Jaques & Professor Trigg
6 ? 7:30 dinner & Guest Lecture
7:30 - ? Training
During afternoon brakes and at dinner massage therapists are present, for a nominal fee, they will wring the lactic acid from your muscles for five minutes or more if you wish.
So, as you see for the cost of the camp, you get quite a bit of training. This is no exaggeration when I say I have been training until 11:00pm and left while some people were still going at it!

] to be grabbed and used if at all possible against knife wielding assailants in particular. Works for other people too. Hard to defend against three, thrusting weapons at once. Confuses the computer. Very effective.
