The Record shows that it was Opposer who had filed the present motion for sanctions after being warned by Applicant that federal litigation for a Declaratory Judgment of non-infringement -- i.e., to dispose of Opposer’s repeated threats of suit -- was in the offing. I. Opposer Misstates the Seminal Facts. Oddly, the Opposer has alleged that: “Applicant’s litigation was brought to escape the Board’s decision on the motion for sanctions.” (emphasis added). But, however, the Board has not, as yet, decided the pending motion for sanctions. 1 Specifically, the Opposer’s Motion for Sanctions was filed on September 4, 2020, and the eminent filing of a Civil Action was disclosed in all good faith to Opposer more than two-weeks prior, and on August 19th, as follows: __________________________________________________________________ Mr. Dewitty, Here is a repeat of my email of the 13th. Mr. Dewitty, As we discussed the other day, my analysis is that our clients would be best served by a mutual acknowledgement that neither party would be able to prevent the other from using the contested “Knife King" mark. Attached hereto are multiple references from a prior third-party (i.e., senior) user of the “Knife King” mark -- as early as 1990 and contin- uing to this day — all for use on cutlery items. Accordingly, your cli- ent has no exclusive rights. My suggestion continues to be that the parties simply “walk away”. Best wishes, Bob I would prefer not to have to bring the matter to the attention of the federal courts. But however, your client has threatened to bring “legal proceedings” against Edgework, who thus has a perfect right to protect itself. Please provide a substantive response. Thank you, Bob Ward _____________________________________________________________ 2 The Opposer’s dilatory “response” was again non-substantive: “Mr. Ward -- I presented your message to my client, which resulted in no response. Our previous offer indicated a monetary settlement would be of inter- est to my client. A "walk away" arrangement would likely not be of in- terest, however I am still waiting for a full response. Thanks. Robert _____________________________________________________________ Later on August 19th, the Opposer responded further (but without legal or fac- tual justification, or indeed any explanation whatsoever) that Opposer would continue to attempt to leverage this Board for the purpose of extorting a mon- etary tribute from Applicant: ____________________________________________________________ Mr. Ward, we are not under any obligation1 as this time to explain our reasons for payment requests. If you have a counteroffer, we will con- sider in due course. ______________________________________________________ II. The Law – Judicial Economy Would Favor Suspension. The TBMP, § 510.02(a), entitled “Suspension”, states: 1 It is obvious that Magistrate Judge Johnson of the Northern District of Georgia, when sitting as a Mediator, would indeed require that the parties justify their re- spective positions, and especially demands for the payment of monies. 3 A civil action may involve other matters outside Board jurisdiction and may consider broader issues beyond right to registration and, therefore, judicial economy is usually served by suspension. *** If there is pending, at the time when the question of suspension of pro- ceedings before the Board is raised, a motion that is potentially dispos- itive of the case, the potentially dispositive motion may be decided before the question of suspension is considered. The purpose of this rule is to prevent a party served with a potentially dispositive motion from escaping the motion by filing a civil action and then moving to suspend before the Board has decided the potentially dispositive mo- tion. However, the Board, in its discretion, may elect to suspend without first deciding the potentially dispositive motion. (emphasis added). So it should be here, in all equity. III. The Controversy Should be Completely Resolved in District Court, and on a Full Record. The Opposer alleges herein that it supposedly has “superior rights” against the Applicant. In fact, Opposer does not have “superior rights" against anyone in and to the subject “Knife King” mark. Four-square, and if anything at all, the Opposer is merely a non-consequential Intermediate User. In good faith, the applicant sent to Opposer's lawyer detailed evidence show- ing that the “Knife King” mark has been in used on the subject goods via the Internet and in Commerce in the United States, since at least as early as 1990. (See Exhibit A hereof). Accordingly, the interloping Opposer has no substantive rights herein, hence has no standing to oppose in this proceeding, and certainly has no basis for 4 using the Board in its the attempted extraction of monies. Wherefore, it is duly ex- pected that these facts will be yet further ventilated in federal court before the Hon- orable District Judge Amy Totenberg. Moreover, and finally, Opposer's opposition is based on alleged “priority”, the proof of which (if any) is to be found within its own files.. But, however, Opposer’s discovery requests are directed to the manifest irrelevancy, and resultant abuse, of demanding virtually every scrap of paper regarding the finances of the Applicant2. Wherefore, for this yet additional reason, the present proceeding should -- in the informed discretion of the Board and to facilitate substantive justice -- be sus- pended pending a full hearing on the merits in District Court, and the same is re- spectfully urged. Respectfully submitted this 10th day of September, 2020, /Robert M. Ward/ Robert M. Ward (Georgia Bar 775401) Reg. No. 26,517 3455 Peachtree Road NE, 5th Floor Atlanta, GA 30326 Telephone: (404) 606-6480 [email protected] Attorney for Applicant 2 Moreover, and despite Opposer's continual attempts to acquire every scrap of fi- nancial information from its alleged competitor, the Opposer has produced nothing – i.e., in continuing to hide behind a so-called Initial Disclosure condition precedent -- when its own so-called “Initial Disclosures” were grossly non-substantive. 5 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I do hereby certify that on the date set forth above a true and complete copy of the foregoing document has been served on the opposing party’s counsel of record: Robert DEWITTY DeWitty and Associates, Chtd. 330 Pennsylvania Avenue, #302 Washington, D.C. 20003 (202)-380-9609 [email protected] /Robert M.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED CAMPFIRE CUT This was another timed event intended to test a contestant’s knife and its ability to function effectively as a camp knife. For example, could the contestant use his knife to make kindling for a fire? The challenge here was to produce, in thirty seconds, RIPOSTE a large quantity of splinters from a six inch 2X4. HANGING PLASTIC BOTTLE This extremely difficult test involved severing an empty 16 ounce plastic water THE 2003 BLADE SHOW bottle. The bottle was suspended in mid air by a single upholstery thread. The tricky part was cutting the bottle without breaking the thread in the process! After a long absence and much urging from our loyal customers and fans, we decided to attend the Blade show in Atlanta one more time. Here are some of the ROPE CUT high points and low points from our perspective. The final event of the day required each contestant to predict the total number of free hanging manila ropes he could sever in a single stroke. The difficult part, of course, involved living up to one’s prediction. Failure to cut the predicted number HIGH POINTS... of ropes would result in a no score. Throughout the contest, spectators were entertained and educated by the folksy, down home banter of M.C. Jerry Fisk, who did a fantastic job keeping the event on CUSTOMERS AND FANS course.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Silat Martial Ritual Initiation in Brunei Darussalam
    Southeast Asia: A Multidisciplinary Journal, Vol 14, 2014, pp 1–13 © FASS, UBD Silat martial ritual initiation in Brunei Darussalam Gabriel Facal Institut de recherches Asiatiques (Aix-Marseille Université) Abstract Almost no research has been done on the silat martial ritual initiations developed in Brunei even though silat continues to be a main cultural marker of the sultanate and it is recurrent in legendary narratives as well as in contemporary local film productions. For Bruneian people, the image of silat is also conveyed by the multitude of Malaysian and Indonesian movies they can watch. Therefore the upheavals that silat has endured since the inception of the sport’s federation in the 1980’s have challenged the possibility of local silat groups keeping alive their practice, structure and organization. These evolutions also reflect certain conflicts in the Bruneian cultural policy, as the government seeks to promote a traditional cultural heritage while at the same time transforming its content to match an alternative ideological discourse. Introduction Martial ritual initiations have spread widely across the so-called Malay world (for debate about this notion, see Barnard, 2004), and have been extensively documented. For example, Maryono (2002) describes pencak and silat in Indonesia, De Grave (2001) deals with pencak in Java, Facal (2012) focuses on penceu in Banten, Wilson (2002) analyzes penca in West Java, and Farrer (2012) considers silat in Malaysia. However, there has been less coverage of the situation in Brunei. This discrepancy can be explained by the secrecy surrounding the transmission and integration of the practice in a wide and complex set of transmission frames, based on an authority structure which refers to local cosmology and religious values.

  • Chapter 3 the Classical Weapons of The
    Chapter 3 The Classical Weapons of the Art ndonesian martial arts are well known for their huge variation of bladed weapons they Iuse. I will not attempt to list or show all of them but only those that this art uses most often in classical training. We will start with the most commonly seen and used bladed weapon and that of course is the knife or pisau in Indonesian martial context. Everyone in almost every style teaches some sort of knife fighting and knife defenses. One of my biggest complaints is that most of these defenses are almost worthless against a fast, randomly moving assailant. One of my teachers, Pendekar Suryadi Jafri, used to open his knife training at a new school by allowing the most inexperienced student to hold a rubber knife. This student was then instructed to write their name as fast as possible over the face and chest of the most experienced student or teacher there and have this victim use the best knife defense they knew. They always failed because the sad fact is most systems don’t practice knife fighting and they don’t know how to defend against this type of attack. On the other end of the spectrum I have seen some of the Filipino styles demonstrate the most complex and intricate redirections with locks and counters that work just fine at slow to medium speed, or at fast speed when both players are doing the same drill. All of these defenses also fell apart when I saw them applied against the same type of inexperienced student who did not know the drill and so figuratively speaking “sliced and diced” them.

  • Swords and Daggers
    Swords and Daggers Swords are weapons formed by a blade (the part intended for striking) and a hilt (from which the sword is held) [Fig. 1]. While there have been swords made of wood and stone, the more predominant and effective examples have been made of some sort of metal. Bronze was used in ancient times, followed by iron and then steel. Daggers are a more primitive, much smaller weapon which share many features with the sword. As a general rule, knives have a single edge. Blade The sword’s blade can be divided between the forte (third of the blade closer to the hilt) and the foible (third of the blade closer to the tip). This refers to how much strength the wielder can put into each area of the blade when used as a lever. The part of the blade that becomes narrow and goes into the grip is called the tang [Fig. 2]. The point of balance [Fig. 3] is the sword’s center of gravity, often found on the blade very close to the hilt, and influences the handling of the weapon. The center of percussion [Fig. 3] is the area of the blade that produces the least amount of vibration when striking a target, and thus is the ideal place with which to strike. The cross-section of the blade [Fig. 4] is the shape it has when cut at the guard. The fullers, incorrectly called blood grooves in modern times, were used to reduce the weight of the blade and give it structural strength.
