Hi Will and everyone else!
I am well, apart from having my limbs twisted from their sockets at
jujutsu training. A few points of interest:
I am currently finishing off a paper on Cornish Wrestling and self
defence. This paper is possibly to be presented at the Congress of
Wrestling and Traditional Games in the Canary Islands, which brings
me to my second point of interest: At the congress there will be
opportunities to see/participate in La Lucha Canaria (Canary Islsand
Wrestling)and Juego de Palo (Canary stick fencing). I'm wondering,
should I get the opportunity to go and present my paper in person, if
anyone would be interested in paying a nominal fee for video footage
for either of these arts. In time I may be able to edit the footage
into a short documentary or something.
The final point of interest is that I have a copy of
Longhurst's "Jiujitsu and other methods of Self Defence". As soon as
I have time, I'll scan or photocopy this work and make it available
to the list. (I know I have been promising this for a long time,
Tony, but as soon as things quieten down in the Aussie school year,
I'll make it a priorty.)
Anyway, that's all for now.
All the best
Dave Stone.
