My friend and fellow JKD/Kali instructor Manny Valladares recently travelled from Las Vegas to Honolulu to attend a seminar featuring the legendary Dan Inosanto. While in town, Manny and I did a bit of rattan sparring. Here are a few photos...

| Grazing shot. Still left a mark. |

| Right on my head. |

Rattan canes were used by a General in Raymond Benson's Zero Minus Ten (1997), but I'm sure that you knew that, Le Samourai.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I don't remember that. Actually, I only really remember snippets of the Benson Bonds. Some of the stuff I remember I wish I could forget (Bond at a sperm bank, for example).
ReplyDeleteBond at a sperm bank was a bit of a piss-take surely. It features in Raymond Benson's The Facts of Death (1998).
