E d i t o r i a l Every Student Is Different WE often reference Western boxing because, although not a “martial art” per se, boxing is a marvelous martial sport that illustrates nicely some extremely important concepts and principles that are integral to good combat training, and to preparation through combat training for self-defense. Boxing teaches the use of one single key “natural weapon”: the clenched fist. Boxing teaches one single key “stance” and very logical, simple, basic movement in that stance, which is readily applicable to fluid, fast, real offensive and defensive “fighting” against a skilled opponent. Boxing employs but four basic techniques of punching: The left jab, the straight right, the hook, and the uppercut. Boxing teaches that you win by knocking your opponent out (or otherwise rendering him unable or unwilling to continue the ring battle). “Defensive” actions are taught and used in boxing, but no one who boxes or who trains boxers emphasizes that the heart and soul of boxing is blocking, parrying, and avoiding getting hit.

  • Muay Thai Diplomacy: Thailand’S Soft Power Through Public Diplomacy
    Journal of Alternative Perspectives in the Social Sciences (2021) Volume 11 No 1, 99-124 Muay Thai Diplomacy: Thailand’s Soft Power Through Public Diplomacy William J. Jones Mahidol University International College Pawinpon Theerawong Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand Abstract: Public and cultural diplomacy are tools for states to enhance their soft power in international affairs. Sports diplomacy is becoming an increasingly important arena for states to enhance their image among foreign publics and increase their country’s visibility via the attractiveness of their cultural asset. This article explores Thailand’s cultural diplomacy by the support given by the Thai state in order to make Muay Thai (Thai boxing) an official Olympic sport. The role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Muay Thai athletes will be examined to find how the Thai state is attempting to increase its soft power by cultural sport diplomacy. Keywords: Thai boxing, Thailand diplomacy, Public diplomacy, Cultural diplomacy, Soft power, Sports diplomacy 1. Introduction Muay Thai, also known as Thai boxing, has gained a global admiration and recognition as the national martial art and sport of Thailand. More than its fascinating combat techniques, Muay Thai is enriched with its cultural values, fabricated along the history of the Thai nation. Today, Muay Thai has evolved from its origin of battlefield and obtained the utilitarian multiplicity in fitness, entertainment, sport, self-defence, and so on, not only in its country of origin but worldwide. It is also recognised by the Thai state as a 99 Muay Thai Diplomacy: Thailand’s Soft Power Through Public Diplomacy source of soft power, thus, used as a tool for cultural diplomacy (Sukontasap, 2018).

  • Defending the Self Defense Case
    4/16/2010 http://www.criminaljustice.org/public.n… Close this Window Email / Print A self-defense case is fundamentally different from most other criminal prosecutions. The essence of the defense is that the defendant is the victim of an attempted or completed violent felony such as assault, rape, or homicide which, but for the defendant’s lawful actions, would have resulted in the defendant’s death or in serious bodily harm. The complainant is, in fact, a violent aggressor who, but for the defendant’s lawful actions, would be the one standing trial. The defendant is the “good guy” and the victim is the “bad guy,” despite the prosecution’s efforts to portray the converse. Many assumptions about trial tactics are inverted in a self-defense case. If the defendant presents some evidence on each of the elements of self-defense, then he or she is entitled to a jury instruction on the issue, which places the burden of proof squarely on the prosecutor to disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. If the prosecution fails to disprove self-defense, the client is acquitted. In practice, however, the defense attorney has a great deal of work to do in order to convince the jurors that the client’s conduct fell within the common law of self-defense or within applicable state statutes. This article is a starting point for attorneys representing clients in a self-defense case. It is focused on the common law of self-defense, using Massachusetts as its primary example, but the general principles are applicable in any state.

  • State V. Jacinto, 2020-Ohio-3722.]
    [Cite as State v. Jacinto, 2020-Ohio-3722.] COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO EIGHTH APPELLATE DISTRICT COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA STATE OF OHIO, : Plaintiff-Appellee, : No. 108944 v. : KAINOA JACINTO, : Defendant-Appellant. : JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION JUDGMENT: AFFIRMED RELEASED AND JOURNALIZED: July 16, 2020 Criminal Appeal from the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Case No. CR-18-633255-A Appearances: Michael C. O’Malley, Cuyahoga County Prosecuting Attorney, and Sean M. Kilbane, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee. Patituce & Associates, L.L.C., Joseph C. Patituce and Megan M. Patituce, for appellant. EILEEN A. GALLAGHER, J.: Defendant-appellant Kainoa Jacinto appeals his conviction for felonious assault following a jury trial. Jacinto contends that the trial court erred in failing to give the jury a self-defense instruction, in admitting evidence of a 911 call from a caller who did not testify and in admitting “expert” opinion testimony from a paramedic that had not been disclosed in a written expert report and that exceeded the scope of his expertise. Jacinto further contends that his conviction is not supported by sufficient evidence and is against the manifest weight of the evidence and that his four-year prison sentence is not supported by the record. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the trial court’s decision. Procedural History and Factual Background On October 9, 2018, a Cuyahoga County Grand Jury indicted Jacinto on one count of felonious assault in violation of R.C. 2903.11(A)(1), a second-degree felony. The charge arose out of September 16, 2018 incident in which Jacinto punched and “knocked out” Bryant Lee (“Lee”), who struck his head on the concrete sidewalk as he fell to the ground.

  • Emerson La Griffe Neck Knife by Chris Fry
    Emerson La Griffe Neck Knife www.EmersonKnives.com By Chris Fry I recently had a conversation with Darkvibe from NYFirearms.com about small fixed blade knives and the Emerson La Griffe came up. DV had just picked one up at a gun show and really liked the knife, so after speaking we both thought a review was in order. As with other reviews I have done for my website and various online forums I’ll add this disclaimer; I am not a professional reviewer and the thoughts expressed here are what I believe to be important to someone who may want to purchase a La Griffe. Design Background As Ernest Emerson states on his website, the La Griffe (claw) knife design comes from Europe. It is a design from noted French knife-maker Fredric Perrin. Perrin is a veteran of the French Army; an expert in survival under extreme conditions as well as a dedicated martial artist. He has designed many “fighting” knives with two of his most popular being his custom Le Shark and La Griffe knives. Emerson liked the design so much he got permission from Perrin to manufacture his own version (as did Spyderco with the Spyderco SPOT La Griffe). Perrin Le Shark Perrin La Griffe MDTS, LLC 2009 LLC MDTS, 1 The hook or claw of the Emerson La Griffe is similar to that of a Karambit (sometimes spelled Kerambit) design. These designs are meant to simulate the claws of predatory animals. The Karambit was first Emerson Waved Karambit Folder brought to the US from Southeast Asia in the 1950’s but went largely unnoticed until recent interest via the martial arts community.

  • GET TOUGH! How to Win in Hand-To-Hand Fighting As Taught to the British Commandos and the U.S
    GET TOUGH! How To Win In Hand-To-Hand Fighting As Taught To The British Commandos And The U.S. Armed Forces PREFACE The method of hand-to-hand fighting described in this book is the approved standard instruction for all members of His Majesty's forces. The Commandos, and parachute troops, harrying the invasion coasts of Europe, have been thoroughly trained in its use. Britain's two-million Home Guard are daily being instructed in its simple but terrible effectiveness. The units of the United States Marine Corps who were stationed in China between 1927 and 1940 learned these methods at my own hands when I was Assistant Commissioner of the Shanghai Municipal Police. There will be some who will be shocked by the methods advocated here. To them I say "In war you cannot afford the luxury of squeamishness. Either you kill or capture, or you will be captured or killed. We've got to be tough to win, and we've got to be ruthless - tougher and more ruthless than our enemies." It is not the armed forces of the United Nations alone who can profit by learning how to win in hand-to-hand fighting. Every civilian, man or woman, who ever walks a deserted road at mid-night, or goes in fear of his life in the dark places of a city, should acquaint himself with these methods. Once mastered, they will instill the courage and self-confidence that come with the sure knowledge that you are the master of any dangerous situation with which you may have to cope.
