5 Adrielle Joy M. Anyayahan October 8, 2014 1 NUR – 4 College of Nursing Asst Class Number: 5 Adrielle Joy M. Anyayahan October 8, 2014 1 NUR – 4 College of Nursing Asst. Prof. Robinson V. Laxa ARC7 Arnis Reaction Paper: Solo Baston and Disarming rnis is the Philippines' national martial art and sport, after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed the Republic Act. No. 9850 in 2009. Also known as kali, escrima, baston, etc., it is a complete martial art system, encompassing weapons training and empty-hand self-defense. It includes Atraining in single stick techniques (solo baston), double stick techniques (doble baston), stick and knife or dagger techniques (espada y daga) and knife techniques (daga). Some styles may include staff and spear (sibat) training in their curriculum. Others will include the practice of medium to long bladed weapons (bolo) in their repertoire. One suggestion is that it originally came from another martial art system, called tjakalele. This is actually the name of a branch of the Indonesian martial art system known as pentjak silat. Another suggestion is that it was brought here from the Southeast Asian mainland, particularly during the Madjapahit and Shri-Visayan empires. Yet another suggestion is that it was propagated by the so-called ten Bornean datus fleeing persecution from their homeland. Before it was introduced in Manila, modern arnis has its humble beginnings in Bacolod City in the Visayas where the author first learned the techniques of the art. Being a master of many martial arts, the author was able to compare the intrinsic qualities of Arnis with other martial arts. And this comparison led him to improvise the antiquated techniques of Arnis not only for reasons of pacing with the times but also for utmost effectivity. These improved techniques were then taught for the first time to the students in that city. Sources: http://www.modernarnis.com/history.html, http://www.martialartsresource.com/filipino/arnis.html, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Arnis There were 3 techniques using the Solo Baston introduced to us. These are the 6-strike, the 8-strike, and the 12-strike. They differ with each other in the number of strikes, the targeted body parts, and the sequence of the strike. For instance, in the 6 and 8-strike Solo Baston, the sequence of the strike is similar for both except the addition of targeting the left and right chest in 8-strike. In 12-strike, there was an addition of eye and shoulder target but we end the strike in the crown, unlike in the 6 and 8-strike, the ending strike will be on the stomach. I’ve noticed that with every attack or strike of the opponent, there is a corresponding block to it. These blocking techniques are used to counter opponent’s attack and protect oneself from it. Proper body position, strides, and hand placement are practiced in the 6, 8, and 12-strike Solo Baston. The free hand, whether left or right, should always be kept in the chest to avoid being hit. The proper way of blocking and attacking is also practiced. Disarming, on the other hand, is the process of taking away the opponent’s weapon and overpowering him. In Arnis, several techniques can be applied in disarming. In a video provided for us to watch, I’ve noticed that our professor always holds the wrist of the student before disarming his stick or either striking a body part. Disarming can be used to counter and avoid incoming attacks of opponent. These techniques are very dangerous and require mastery and practice before applying it in reality because it can cause serious injuries or even death. It would really require time too when this is practiced. When learning these techniques, one should be very careful and aware of where his or her baston is attacking because it may cause hurt to others. In spite all of these; I still admire its art when it is beautifully and precisely done. I value its importance even if other people will say Arnis is just one of the sports. The principle of the 6, 8, and 12-strike Solo Baston and disarming can be applied in fighting situations and for self-defense. It can be used in unarmed fighting and also when one is holding a weapon. One can apply all the techniques he knows in Arnis and incorporate it with these. One already has the knowledge of how to attack the body parts of your opponent whether he or she is unarmed, holding a baston, or in possession of other objects. The same is true with disarming. He or she can forestall his or her opponent before he can attack. With these techniques, one can keep the attacker on distance. In disarming, he or she can kick, box, or target the body parts of the opponent to avoid him of being able to attack again. If this principle is used by the opponent against, for instance you, you are confident of blocking, re-attacking, or disarming him or her, thus overpowering the opponent. Not that one can only be knowledgeable about self-defense and disarming, but he or she will also develop concentration, presence of mind, alertness, wisdom, calmness during a situation, speed, power, balance, stamina, flexibility, control, self-discipline, and self-confidence. 6, 8, and 12-strike Solo Baston and disarming also benefits physical fitness, weight- loss, and body coordination. There are many ways on how to do disarming, which gives a more concrete fact of how useful arnis is for self-defence. Some are stated below. Set A. 1. Inside Twisting/ block /hold partner’s cane with your left hand/push this cane with your cane at the same time step right foot forward 2. Snake circle/block/lock both canes with your left thumb and twist your cane under partner’s wrist to disarm 3. Downward strike/block right foot strike and hold partner’s wrist with your left hand and strike his/her cane with your cane (or strike wrist with your cane) 4. Cane twisting/block left foot strike and hold the tip of partner’s cane with your left hand and put your cane on top ofpartner’s hand from under his cane and twist the cane to disarm 5. Two hand block/two hand upper block/bring your right hand to your left on top of partner’s hand and grab partner’s wrist with your left hand over the top of your hand. Strike cane with your cane to disarm 6. Vertical block/block and hold under cane with your left hand and strike wrist with the butt of your cane 1. your cane Out balancing 1. Overhead strike/two hand overhead block then hold partner’s elbow from outside with your left hand and then butt strike 2. Overhead strike/two hand overhead block then hold partner’s hand from the inside and then butt strike 3. Left side strike/block and hold partner’s arm and then pull to the left side and butt strike 4. Left side strike/block and hold cane with your left hand and strike wrist with your cane Source: http://www.scribd.com/doc/30386113/A-R-N-I-S The outcome is revealing, modern arnis is now an institution in the world of martial art. It has caught fire in the hearts of Filipino martial art lovers. And the timing is perfect for we are now in the midst of national awakening to our true Filipino identity. The government is now exerting much effort to acquaint the Filipino people of their culture thus cementing nationalism in their hearts. Arnis is one of our national cultural gems. The efforts of the author has become an instrument of this awakening to its worth. The chain of propagation that sprang from his unselfish and dedicated tutelage of the art has produced a nationwide fever that is now the pride of every Filipino for Arnis is true Filipino martial arts. However, arnis should be done with utmost care and caution. As you may notice, the stick of arnis is very hard and it can inflict death and serious injuries on the person. Arnis should be used with wisdom and with right motives. Outwardly, it may be dangerous but as you start studying it, you will slowly realize and appreciate its beauty; the beauty of the National Game of the Philippines. Someday, Modern Arnis will become the martial art of the world..

Th e Place of Archery in Greek Warfare Th e Ancient Greek Archer: . at work & war by Tom Winter Summary: Despite the ancient Greek equivalent of an Agincourt, the Greek military mind fi rmly retained the heavy infantry, rather than the archers, as the main force. Recognized uses of the archer in Greek warfare were to fend off heights of city walls, to perform commando raids, and to provide covering fi re for commando-style operations. Th is essay, written after a fresh reading of the principle Greek historians, puts together all passages where one can see the ancient Greek archer at work and in his military setting. hen Pericles proclaims the catalog of Athenian forces at the Wbeginning of the Peloponnesian War (431–404), the array looked like this: 15,000 fi rst-line hoplites 1,600 reserve hoplites 1,600 cavalry (including mounted archers) 1,200 archers 300 warships Archers comprised, then, roughly 10 percent of an ancient Greek city’s military force.

Chrysanthis, Department of Computer Science, University of Pittsburgh ii Copyright © by Nikolaos Romanos Katsipoulakis 2018 iii A PROCRUSTEAN APPROACH TO STREAM PROCESSING Nikolaos Romanos Katsipoulakis, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2018 The increasing demand for real-time data processing and the constantly growing data volume have contributed to the rapid evolution of Stream Processing Engines (SPEs), which are designed to continuously process data as it arrives. Low operational cost and timely delivery of results are both objectives of paramount importance for SPEs. Given the volatile and uncharted nature of data streams, achieving the aforementioned goals under fixed resources is a challenge. This calls for adaptable SPEs, which can react to fluctuations in processing demands. In the past, three techniques have been developed for improving an SPE’s ability to adapt. Those techniques are classified based on applications’ requirements on exact or ap- proximate results: stream partitioning, and re-partitioning target exact, and load shedding targets approximate processing.

  • Interpretation of Fiore Dei Liberi's Spear Plays
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Hands On section, articles 131 Interpretation of Fiore dei Liberi’s Spear Plays Jakub Dobi Ars Ensis [email protected] Abstract – How did Fiore Furlano use a spear? What is the context, purpose, and effect of entering a duel armed with a spear? My article- originally a successful thesis work for an Ars Ensis Free Scholler title- describes in detail what I found out by studying primary sources (Fiore’s works), related sources (contemporary and similar works), and hands-on experience in controlled play practice, as well as against uncooperative opponents. In this work I cover the basics- how to hold the spear, how to assume Fiore’s stances, how to attack, and how to defend yourself. I also argue that the spear is not, in fact, a preferable weapon to fence with in Fiore’s system, at least not if one uses it in itself. It is however, a reach advantage that has to be matched, and thus the terribly (mutually) unsafe situation of spear versus spear occurs. As a conclusion, considering context and illustrations of spear fencing, I argue that the spear is only to be considered paired with other weapons, like dagger, or sword. In fact, following Fiore’s logic, we can assume he used the spear to close the distance to use a weapon he feels more in control with. Keywords – Fiore, Furlano, Liberi, Italian, duel, spear, Ars Ensis I. PROCESS OF RESEARCH The article itself is largely devoted to trying to point out the less obvious points to make about this specific style of spear fencing.

  • 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.).

  • Nicholas Victor Sekunda the SARISSA
    ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA ARCHAEOLOGICA 23, 2001 Nicholas Victor Sekunda THE SARISSA INTRODUCTION Recent years have seen renewed interest in Philip and Alexander, not least in the sphere of military affairs. The most complete discussion of the sarissa, or pike, the standard weapon of Macedonian footsoldiers from the reign of Philip onwards, is that of Lammert. Lammert collects the ancient literary evidence and there is little one can disagree with in his discussion of the nature and use of the sarissa. The ancient texts, however, concentrate on the most remarkable feature of the weapon - its great length. Unfor- tunately several details of the weapon remain unclear. More recent discussions o f the weapon have tried to resolve these problems, but I find myself unable to agree with many of the solutions proposed. The purpose of this article is to suggest some alternative possibilities using further ancient literary evidence and also comparisons with pikes used in other periods of history. 1 do not intend to cover those aspects of the sarissa already dealt with satisfactorily by Lammert and his predecessors'. THE PIKE-HEAD Although the length of the pike is the most striking feature of the weapon, it is not the sole distinguishing characteristic. What also distinguishes a pike from a common spear is the nature of the head. Most spears have a relatively broad head designed to open a wide flesh wound and to sever blood vessels. 1 hey are usually used to strike at the unprotected parts of an opponent’s body. The pike, on the other hand, is designed to penetrate body defences such as shields or armour.

  • Pikeman-Fact-Sheet.Pdf
    Pikeman Pikemen were foot soldiers (infantry) armed with a pike (a long wooden pole with a metal spear on the end). They were used to defend musketeers against the cavalry. They were also useful to push against the enemy when victory was in sight. They were often placed in the middle of the infantry, with musketeers on either side of them. Pikemen were trained to use a number of ‘postures’ or ways of handling the pike for different kinds of fighting. For instance, to defend against cavalry attack a pikeman would crouch down, brace the bottom of the pike shaft against his foot and point the head of the pike at the horse’s breast. When attacking another infantry regiment pikes would be held horizontally at shoulder height while the soldiers advanced towards the enemy. When contact was made each side would push until one gave way. Pikemen would have to practice these ‘postures’ in what was known as a ‘drill’ so that they could fight in a disciplined manner on the battlefield. A simple pike drill would be: 1. Shoulder your pike 2. Port your pike (hold your pike upright) 3. Advance your pike (pike dropped half way down) 4. Charge your pike ( pike facing your enemy, ready to charge) Pikemen could play a decisive role on the battlefield. For example, in June 1643, at the Battle of Adwalton Moor, the Royalist pikemen fought well, pushing their enemy back and creating gaps for the Royalist cavalry and cannons to destroy the left wing of the Parliamentarian army, and forcing them to retreat.

  • Phalanxes and Triremes: Warfare in Ancient Greece by Ancient History Encyclopedia, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 08.08.17 Word Count 1,730 Level 1230L
    Phalanxes and Triremes: Warfare in Ancient Greece By Ancient History Encyclopedia, adapted by Newsela staff on 08.08.17 Word Count 1,730 Level 1230L A lithograph plate showing ancient Greek warriors in a variety of different uniforms. Photo from Wikimedia. In the ancient Greek world, warfare was seen as a necessary evil of the human condition. Whether it be small frontier skirmishes between neighboring city-states, lengthy city-sieges, civil wars or large-scale battles between multi-alliance blocks on land and sea, the vast rewards of war were thought to outweigh the costs in material and lives. While there were lengthy periods of peace, the desire for new territory, war booty or revenge meant the Greeks were regularly engaged in warfare both at home and abroad. Toward professional warfare The Greeks did not always have professional soldiers. Warfare started out as the business of private individuals. Armed bands led by warrior leaders, city militias of part-time soldiers provided their own equipment and may have included all the citizens of the city-state. Eventually, the conduct of warfare started to move away from private individuals and into the realm of the state. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. In the early stages of Greek warfare in the Archaic period, training was haphazard. There were no uniforms or insignia and as soon as the conflict was over the soldiers would return to their farms. By the fifth century B.C, the military might of Sparta provided a model for all other states to follow.
