England's Phil Buck and I were discussing a variety of arts and he mentioned an art called "Catch" or Catch as Catch Can". I thought this was interesting as that's a somewhat common phrase here in the US that implies you get what you can while referring to any number of things. Apparently it's based on a British wrestling system. Funny how things work into the language.
We also spoke of the martial arts of India; Kalaripp or Kalarippayat. My first escrima instructor, Al McLuckie, studied that for a bit many years ago. If you're interested, here's a link by the only teacher of it in the UK. http://www.kalarippayatt.co.uk/2012/kalarippayatt.php
