Dieter said:OK, just a quick answer:
from what I have learned from Ernesto, Rodel, Bambit and Roland, the style of Ernesto in the 80' was much closer to Remy's Modern Arnis of the 70s as his style in the 90s.
This ment, that there was a clear distincion between modern and classical techniques, modern meaning stick techniques (grabbing the stick) and straight forward moving into the attacking action of the opponent, classical meaning blade techniques, and evading to the side.
We do both.

Hi Mark,The Boar Man said:Thanks for the info Dieter.
One other question, or maybe Dan can answer this. In his older books (the Pink one and the Practical Art of Eskrima), Remy appears to do alot of turning on the balls of his feet or maybe on the heels. Thus turning his body in between (possibly) the block and the strike. Like he would block a strike and then pivot to add power to the strike. In the 80's tapes and seeing him in the 90's I don't remember seeing this type of body movement. Was this exagerated for the photos or did he do this type of movements in real life?
Did you guys notice this with the Professor, or with his other older students from the Philippines?
Hey if you decide to create the thread that Dan suggested maybe this should be moved there.
