Re: [bata] CB Lansing (with video link)

Hi Gary,

Great to see you back! Your fall of the edge of the earth was a topic
of discussion for Kirk and I as we headed out to the Thai restaurant
at ISMAC this year.

I am stuck on dial up again so it is a bit hard for me to watch the
clip. It works but is very very choppy. But I could tell you guys are
really working...always great to see proof that more people actually
beat each other with sticks:)

I imagine that doing this all without gloves would teach all of us a
few lessons...from what I saw my advice to remember is that if you can
see the other guys hand hit it! An important point with the high guard
is to keep it really high so your hand stays outta danger...other than
that it looked great and I look forward to seeing more.

Don't take it as any sort of criticism. I have yet to see someone
fight from the high guard that does not let their hand stay too low at
times, myself included or maybe I should say myself most of all?

Keep up the good work
Ken
