I just saw a billboard for a fund raiser called Walk and Roll. Looks
interesting. Does anybody have any information about this? This might be a fun
event for us to participate in. I just came home from visiting my parents. They
live in Sandy which is part of the Hood to Coast relay route. It was fun to see
the runners and the volunteers. I thought to myself, "self, it would be fun to
volunteer for something like this". And myself said back, "back, yes it would.
Perhaps Baileys Academy/Clan Bailey could get involved in that Walk and Roll
fund raiser".
To do that we need more information. What say you????
Best Regards,
Denise

or have instructors that don't understand them or how to teach them,
With the underlying thought that "well you cant score with a sweep." mentality.
leaving a whole host of missed opportunities and lack of depth in abilities and
understanding

I understand for the competitors point of view of what they were trying to do.
Blue was using a basic lead leg kick that was more of a distractor to the
defensive guard. either by being a front kick or a round kick throwing to 2
different levels as a round and straight in a s a front.
this is used 2 fold
1. to score.
2 to move the hands to create an opening, for her consistent 2 punch followup.
  seeing that red was just a defensive counter puncher,
strategy to keep her blocking and delay the counter punch giving the advantage
to the attacker, <which worked>

Problems seen.
  way to much rushing in and "forcing" the technique and "strategy"
making it a 2 trick pony,
  Thins to make this better,
1 Don't rush and force. look for the correct timing. use hands first to mix it
up and rear leg, then it becomes a rounded fighter, and not a lopsided left
lead only fighter, learn distancing and the real fine points of it.<i saw none
from blue>

red.
Counter puncher relying on baiting and trapping. was very good at this to a
point,
One could see that she was used to the "game" of a one 2 attach stop and pose
for the reff.
when the woman in blue attacks with a 3 to 4 combo she is 1 to 2 strikes out of
the reds experience.
red needs to get out of the comfort zone of right hand reverse punch and grow
as
a point fighter, by using stop or intercepting timing and move to the <her
left>
  and should stop being a target.  also use sweeps as they are legal. and blue
was in position to receive on many occasions.

Comments on Sparring,
One competitor was nearly always only defending and seemed to almost never take
the aggressive position. The other competitor was relatively predictable after
the first few attacks. Almost all attacks were round house kick followed by
reverse punch and sometimes two punches. Its always difficult to judge without
knowing the point criteria. The one defending constantly didn't seem to know how
to take advantage of predictable moves, didn't use her own kicks to any
advantage and never moved to the outside of the constant left round house kick.
They both appeared to be to limited in the techniques they were willing to use.

I have to assume that the rules limit the competitors to no foot sweeps and no
take downs. Points were likely only given for a head or abdominal punch or kick.
Its hard to evaluate without knowing the rules or the experience level of the
competitors.

2-cents,
Rob

Best personal regaurds
Douglas B Bailey
was showing at the holly wood theater Portland Oregon..
a great grind house film.. no as good as kung fu hustle

Sang Kuan Chun (Jack Long) is an old kung fu master who is getting ready to
retire from martial arts. He is satisfied that he's mastered the martial arts
and is the best in China. But just as he is about to put up the kings signboard
and call it quits, he receives a note alleging that he's not the best. Thus
begins his journey for one last challenge with each of the Seven Grandmasters to
prove his superiority. As Sang Kuan Chun and his three students travel from one
challenge to the next, the foursome acquires a fifth—a young man named Siu Ying
(Lee Yi Min) who wants desperately to train under master Sang Kuan Chun to
avenge his father's death. So he tags along, despite the master's insistence
that he will not accept any more students. Eventually we learn more about the
master's past. His own teacher, before he died, left him the secret book of The
Pai Mei Twelve Strikes. However a masked man soon stole several pages of the
book, leaving only nine strikes. So, somewhere out there, is this unknown man,
and he has the final three strikes of Pai Mei, which are the most deadly and can
beat even the other nine strikes. Sang Kuan Chun soon accepts the seemingly
devout Siu Ying and teaches him the nine known strikes of Pai Mei. Siu Ying ends
up learning from his "uncle" that Sang Kuan Chun (who was set up) killed his
father during a friendly tournament. Siu Ying is taught the final 3 strikes from
a mysterious figure and almost kills Sang Kuan Chun until he realizes he is in
the wrong. This all leads up to an exciting climax, where we learn the identity
of the masked man who stole the Pai Mei final strikes and the identity of the
man who killed Siu Ying's father.

I was checking out their website because I couldn't remember which Saturday it
is, then I looked at their "links" section.  Why not request they include a link
to Bailey's Academy?

By the way, the Festival is April 4th, but I'm sure I am the only one not up to
date on events and such.

Here is an interesting looking conference for martial arts
comparisons. It is actually a two day event, but the two days are
several weeks apart. The first day is this Saturday and the next day
is April 4th. Sensei Hank Prohm is listed as teaching a Shito Ryu
class this Saturday, and our own Sensei Douglas Bailey is scheduled to
teach a class in Highland Broadsword on April 4th.
Here is the website for this event:

http://pacificmartialartsconference.com/

In the middle of the two days of classes is the Eugene Asian Festival.
The web site for this event is not quite ready but should be available
soon at:

www.asiancelebration.org/

This is the weekend of Feb 14th (yes, THAT weekend...Oregon's 150th
birthday). There will be martial arts demonstrations at this as well
as many other demonstrations, musicians, food, vendors, etc..

Either of these events would be useful for Baileys Academy students to
attend and/or participate in.

Best Regards,
D. Beasley
