You are most welcome.

Thanks and welcome

They are with his family. Mostly recorded on extended play vhs and of low viewing quality. Master Archibeque often had a camera running during his classes. Plowing through them to find the few good clips has proven too daunting a task for anyone to undertake. We do have our memories though.

Thank you so much 😀

My thanks to you.

I acquired skills in short stick during my years in Hapkido.

@@Spreadswings WHAT BELT LEVEL USUALLY SHORT STICKS ARE TAUGHT?

It varies from school to school. Often it is reserved for advanced students, often post Black Belt.

Master Xie passed unexpectedly on 4/29/20 --- age 85.

@@Spreadswings thank you, just curious if what was taught in the video was Xie's teaching or your cumulative understanding

It was meant to be.

Jeez ... you have a lot of garbage floating around in your head. Read what you said, then ponder this. George Shin never spoke like that about anybody.

@@Spreadswings I have just had 20 years of time in which I could watch hundreds of karatekas in different clubs and I was being taught by three different teachers, a few years I did parallely German Ju Jutsu - which was followed up after a few years by traditional Jiu Jitsu - beside karate.

Thanks

Yep. Robert is a highly respected friend of mine. A great martial artist.

Glad you enjoyed it

Archie passed away this January. We're just glad we have this to remember him.

​@@Spreadswingswhat IT was The full name of Archie?

Isidro Archibeque.

It's what it is Patrick. Take it or leave it. If you can come up with something better, or what you would describe as effective or having value in self defense, you should post it.

@@Spreadswings I watched the entire video after your reply. There is certainly nothing in your video that could be applied to successful self defense. I did notice that you never say this could be used against a real attacker. However those not familiar with what works and what doesn't could easily think these techniques have some real life application.

They're filmed on the fly, one take, completely improvised, with whoever is there to hold the camera. We have zero budget, zero support, and do this only to preserve skills and concepts which might otherwise be forever lost.

Thank you for your kind words my friend. Stay safe and healthy.

​@@Spreadswingslet the sun of lslam shine in your heart

I'm generally familiar with Silat (Sifu Jim Ingram). There are indeed similarities.

Thank you. You stay safe too.

You're very welcome, my friend.

They're getting harder to find. You can take any rattan cane, and using steam, reshape the crook. Or, you can scan Ebay for "combat hapkido cane." You'll find a number of variants there.

I think you're the only person who noticed that.

Thanks for that. There's much more to it than most are aware of.

You're very welcome.

Thank you Patrick.

Thanks for your input. Mr Armstrong's influence and outreach was extraordinary, as your comment affirms.

It's explained in the accompanying text. He calls his style Gun Fu (Animal Fighting Styles).

I appreciate the courtesy of your comment and believe you mean well. The points you raise are addressed in many of the other videos. This particular video is a casual overview of possibilities to explore. The setting is informal. This is not a real fight. These are not real attacks. Safety and demonstration are the objective. It doesn't seem like its registering that way with you. That's okay. You do understand, when the situation changes, my responses change to suit the moment. Not a big deal. I like the idea of what you're saying and suggest you dedicate some time to recording what you describe and sharing it with others on KZbin. Everyone is trying to improve. We're always half way there.

Interesting thought. Translation please?

Kata tell story. Exactly that we learn the lesson from kata if we practice.

Yep!

You're mistaking courtesy, control, restraint and safety of others for an imaginary fight that's playing out in your head. You should make a video of it ... it would be fun to watch. This is something entirely different, an impromptu demonstration.

Most folks don't pick up on that. Thanks for re-enforcing it Patrick.

Thank you for your kind words Patrick. It's always great to hear from the Emerald Isle. And best of luck to you too, my friend!
