Gary, I nearly fought a man in Manila who whipped off his belt... a Lubidero or
Lubid (Belt) fighter. I thought he was going for a knife and as I was too far
away to stop that mid draw I stayed out of range. Then a small Mazda pulled up
with five or six cops armed with M16s who took care of the matter! The Lubidero
had just snatched a woman's purse while our jeepney was stopped in traffic. I
bailed out to help but some kid passing by did a flying drop kick that took the
thief of the BMX bike he was rapidly peddling away! It was quite a scene! By
all means send me info on the belt technique. Cheers Perry
