I do work from di Grassi, I find that his work ties in very well with Swetnam's manual. I know the CSG (Chicago Swordplay Guild), they are good people. I...
Here is a link for di Grassi and some others http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~wew/fencing/masters.html ... with Swetnam's manual. I know the CSG (Chicago Swordplay...
Announcement to all CSEMT members I explained to Guro Nomann, in an email that I would be more than glad to help him or anyone else who gets certified by the...
Folks! Well, let's change the thought here and talk about wood! Ratten exactly. I'm curious about how people choose their ratten and how do you cut it? Do...
You just don't get it. Do you honestly think that if you were teaching correctly and that your students were good that we would always be on your case? The ...
Hi Alan What I have always been told about Rattan is to select sticks that have more nodes and more compact fibers (smaller and heavier) fibers. Other people...
KK I don't know if explaining to you is going to do any good, but I am very concerned about splinter groups, forgetting who is in charge of Serrada. blue sky...
I'm one of those who thinks more nodes on rattan is a myth. The rattan I used to make for GM Angel and his students had few nodes, maybe 2-3 on a Serrada...
Well, it's hard to talk about Serrada and keep the politics out of it. I hate this part, and it's a reason I've lowered my profile, but I'll say what I feel is...
Dear Guro, Thank you for the info...right now the sticks that I've been using have been cut from some NY street-stick bats. There's some company out here ( I...
... That is not what the Masters degree says. It says nothing about property of anyone. It does say this: "And with my authorization, to instruct in all...

Hello, Guro Jeff Stickman Finder. I have to agree with so much of what you say here. My observation has been that Grandmaster Vincent Cabales prefers teaching...
Hi Alan I don't know how to decipher a lot of the stuff in Di Grassi's manual, but I have 3 versions. I plan to begin fencing training in San Jose at the...
Khalid Khan Your students are the ones that are second generation not me as I have studied from the Grandmaster long enough that he knows I will not try to...
Guros Ronnie and Dennis - I appreciate that there is room here to discuss the topics that have come up. Whatever shape Serrada will take, at least the...
Alan and Guru Servaes, The rapier section in di Grassi's manual is easier to understand if you think of the way that the wrist and the arm work. Mostly the...
A short question: Angel used to perform demos regularly at cultural events. Does the Cabales academy in Stockton still continue this tradition? Angel used to...
I don't know what it actually says on the master's certificate, as I don't have one handy, but on the advanced diploma it says I can "graduate and/or advance...
Hello CSEMT Sounds like maybe we should do more demos and seminars. Maybe you would like to help schedule some events? We have been doing seminars in other...
Khalid, there is no negotiation on who is Grandmaster. You have no idea the responsibilities the Grandmaster has, and no one else on this planet comes close...
