I wanted to get this message out to practitioners of stick fighting concerning the reality of combat in general but I will use the example of what I call Combat Cane Fighting to make my point.

A few years back my very close friend and colleague won a very high level full contact stick fighting championship. (I have not gotten his permission to give his name at this time). What was of primary interest to me is this:  He was fully capable of performing all sorts of fantastic choreography (forms) with double kali sticks. He is a master martial artist with decades of experience in a number of arts. He trained personally with world renowned masters. His description of what it took to win after hours of grueling competition of full contact stick fighting was this:

"I basically was able to strike with one stick over and over again like an animal and through sheer adrenaline and stamina won. Not one fancy technique helped anyone to win."

Let's look at this more closely.

In a real life and death frenzy-filled fight there is no real time for calculated moves. Sometimes, as a police officer, there is some time to plan because most of the time you are called to respond to whatever crisis is happening. This is where some planning can be of importance. Once the monkey gets caught in the blender all bets, however, are off. We are primarily concerned with what happens at the point of impact, so to speak.

All the preamble that leads to the split second high speed contact of the fight is not as important as having built within you the highest degree of survival attributes. Balance, timing, sensitivity, pre-cortical visual ability, to name a few.

It would seem to make sense that the best way to develop skill as a fighter is to mimic what has been reported to happen in some actual altercations. This is a step in the right direction. Now imagine how things would change if you trained with some scenario based concepts and were able to tap into a reservoir of abilities that most people don't ever develop. I know some development happens just by acting out scenarios but imagine if you developed balance that a ballet master would be envious of. Now as you step in and out of range of a stick or other weapon you would have enhanced your ability to move in paths at a higher rate of speed with more power. So if you just played Punch and Judy games with your sticks you would fare better for a real fight than if you twirled both sticks in a display that would almost equal a little baton twirling girl's abilities.

I can see your face right now. How dare you compare the swift twirling propeller-like motions that we can do with our sticks with that of a baton twirler! I am not saying that a baton twirler can stick fight. I am only saying that it takes so much time to learn to twirl the baton or the sticks that your best development of internal qualities gets lost. There is only so much good that a kata can bring a person.

I was at a Fu Jow Pai tournament many years ago in Manhattan. It was a full contact match. During the intermission a man gave a beautiful display of the spear. He basically was a spear twirler. My good friend said to me something like "Wow look at that spear move!" I instantly said without thinking that the spear which is made of bamboo would shatter if I stuck my hand out and hit the shaft. Five seconds later the spear hit the back curtain and shattered. I think that this was not lost on my friend.

The reality of self defense using a stick dictates that you use the heaviest, strongest material possible that that can do the most damage while being easily and quickly wielded. This obviates many lighter materials commonly used in various martial arts in favor of dense woods and steel (such as you would find in a specially made walking cane--which is also legal to carry).

Training with such a stick to adapt to the inherent chaos of real violence dictates a non-regimented training methodology focused on laws of physics and adaptability over patterned techniques.

Imagine jumping from one wobble board to another placed haphazardly and simultaneously Drop-striking full force against pads moving all over the place. This is an example of what is needed to develop real life fight preparation. Now imagine doing it in dark conditions. Now imagine someone pushing you off balance while you move from one board to another gradually picking up the pace and mixing the attacks from one place to another without warning. This is step one in the dynamic training methodology for stick fighting. This is all after first learning how to hit in general.

This is what Guided Chaos training is all about. No memorization, just movement and drills to enhance your abilities to train like the above method describes. Start slooowwwly and develop speed gradually without memorized forms.

Ex-cop, master handgun instructor and former forensic homicide investigator John Perkins has taught members of Marine Combat units, Marine Scout Sniper units, military counter drug forces, FBI, NYPD and security personnel for domestic and foreign dignitaries. He has trained in Native American fighting principles since the age of 5 and engaged in illegal pre-UFC era pit-fighting. In 1979 he created Guided Chaos, an adaptive, free-form internal art. Perkins is also co-author of the best selling self defense book Attack Proof: The Ultimate Guide to Personal Protection.

Yamaha FJR1300 - XDECTM ECU - china CRb-100 Test Bench

History

The FJR1300 was introduced to Europe in 2001 before arriving in North America in 2002, with the 2003 model year designation, and offered in a non-ABS version only. Motorcyclist magazine named the 2003 model Motorcycle of the Year. It had 298 mm front brake discs. It appeared in Europe in various colors: silver, blue, black and red.

The 2004 European model came in a range of colors, including Silver Storm. The 2004 North American models included both a non-ABS version with traditional blue anodized brake calipers and a new ABS version. Both were Cerulean Silver. Other refinements included an upgrade to the suspension rates, 320 mm front brake discs, and a fairing pocket for small items.

The 2005, North American model year remained structurally unchanged with a non-ABS and ABS model in Galaxy Blue.

In 2006, the U.S. and rest of the world model years synchronized and design significantly changed including trailing arm changes, radiator curving, instrumentation changes, upgraded alternator and significant attention to airflow changes from reported heat issues in previous years. In response to these complaints, Yamaha added several adjustable vents to the FJR1300, allowing the rider to direct air to or away from the body. The base 2006 FJR1300A model has ABS with linked brakes and is Dark Blue Metallic while the Cerulean Silver colored FJR1300AE model features a semi-automatic transmission. The AE/AS model has YCCS, or Yamaha Chip-Controlled Shift. The rider can either utilize the standard foot shifter without the clutch lever, or shift via a mountain-bike style shifter on the left bar. The AE model continues in production through 2008.

For 2008, some minor changes were introduced, including an update to the altitude-related engine control unit issues and throttle 'feel', notably to improve low speed on/off throttle transitions. The colors announced in Europe are; Silver (Silver Tech), Black (Midnight Black) and Graphite. 2008 also sees minor changes in the ABS system.

Design

Engine

The FJR1300 has a 1,298 cc transverse-mounted inline-four engine with four valves per cylinder.

Transmission

The FJR1300 uses a five-speed manual gearbox with close ratio gears. The FJR1300AE/AS model features a semi-automatic transmission which Yamaha calls YCC-S (Yamaha Chip Controlled-Shift). This system is a five-speed sequential manual gearbox with a computer controlled clutch that dispenses with the conventional clutch lever. These models have no lever on the left bar and instead have a mountain-bike style shifter operated with thumb and index finger. Gear shifts are completed in around 0.2 seconds. The conventional foot shifter may be used simultaneously. The gearbox pattern is also unconventional in that neutral is at the bottom end of the range. The ECU automatically controls the robotic clutch and ignition timing to ensure smooth gear shifting and will actuate the clutch at standstill. Stalling the engine is not possible.

Final drive is via shaft, encased within the swingarm, which has monoshock suspension with remote two-setting adjustable pre-load.

Chassis

The frame of the FJR1300 is a twin spar design manufactured from aluminum alloy, the engine is a fully stressed member.

Electrical system

The FJR1300 features a standard 12 volt electrical system, with a fused cigarette-lighter style accessory jack in the left central locking glovebox. The 2003 U.S. model does not have a glovebox or electrical outlet; model years 2004 and 2005 do not include the electrical outlet.

Other features

The FJR1300 features an electrically-adjusted screen controlled by a rocker switch on the handlebars. By default the shield returns to its lowest position when the key is off, however some riders choose to disable the 'return' feature. A number of new features were added beginning with the 2006 model year, including a rider-adjustable airflow system. AE models feature heated handlebar grips with speed sensitive adjustment. The handlebars are adjustable, with 3 positions, and the seat is adjustable to high or low, with about an inch between the positions. Locking side panniers are supplied as standard and each will take a full face helmet. Options include: fairing protectors, larger screen, color-coded top box.

Police models

Yamaha FJR1300A (2006) used by Danish police

In the UK, the FJR1300 has replaced the Honda ST1300 as the patrol motorcycle with several police forces, following the withdrawal of the Honda ST1300 Pan-European due to concerns over high speed handling.

Yamaha FJR 1300 is the patrol vehicle used by the police force of Trinidad and Tobago including the units in the convoy of the President and the Prime Minister.

i have a 90 dodge truck with a 318; the valves started to click so i pulled the cover and found a rocker shaft

the meat of the question is how do you adjust valves and stop the clicking on a rocker arm shaft system. any help would be great

I don't think the valves are adjustable on a factory '90 model 318 engine. If you have a clicking noise from that area you probably have a collapsed or partially collapsed lifter or a bent push rod. If that's the case, the only cure is lifter or push rod replacement.

If there is a long shaft running the length of the head itself and that shaft runs through the rocker arms, the valves are not adjustable.
