| Title: In Memoriam: Jack Johnson                                  |

| Posted by First Elder | June 10 2010 14:15:12                     |

|                                                                   |

| Jack Johnson                                                      |

| 31 March 31 1878 – 10 June 1946                                   |

|                                                                   |

| Johnson was a clever and strategic boxer in an age of brawlers    |

| and an eloquent speaker despite only a few years of schooling.    |

| On July 4th 1910 he whipped “The Great White Hope,” former        |

| undefeated heavyweight champion Jim Jeffries, in what they called |

| “The Fight of the Century.”                                       |

|                                                                   |

| He was a celebrity athlete and a counterculture hero half a       |

| century before such things were commonplace.  A character, rogue, |

| and a rake who went his own way at every turn, Johnson died in a  |

| car accident in North Carolina.                                   |

|                                                                   |

| Dean, Camus, Skynyrd, Kinison, Mansfield, Holly, Cline, Redding,  |

| Vaughan – those lonesome, late night cars and planes take far    |

| too many of the cool ones, don’t they?                            |

| Title: Hackenschmidt Would Get It                                 |

| Posted by First Elder | September 10 2009 03:30:48                |

|                                                                   |

| Content:                                                          |

| In the annals of western martial arts there is a rare specimen    |

| known as Georg Hackenschmidt.  Few know him by name, but many     |

| know of his innovations – the “hack” squat, the bench press, and |

| bear hug, to name a few.                                          |

|                                                                   |

| Hackenschmidt was a wrestler and world-record-setting             |

| weightlifter.  “The Russian Lion” as we was called (despite the   |

| fact that he was from Estonia) purportedly won 3,000 consecutive  |

| matches between 1889 and 1908.  He spoke five languages, and      |

| after retiring from wrestling, he took up philosophy and wrote    |

| several books, among them “Consciousness and Character: True      |

| Definitions of Entity, Individuality, Personality, Nonentity” and |

| “The Three Memories and Forgetfulness: What They Are and What     |

| Their True Significance is in Human Life.”                        |

|                                                                   |

| In one of his essays, Hackenschmidt said,                         |

|                                                                   |

| “…May I through its medium [the book’s] ask those, and          |

| any others who are sympathetically concerned about human welfare  |

| and the probable outcome of the present trend of affairs, to get  |

| into direct personal touch with me. It is difficult for one human |

| being alone to do much, but even a small group of sincere seekers |

| for the means of true betterment might be able to form a nucleus  |

| out of which a new attitude may grow, and become a profound       |

| influence for wide-spread human improvement.” [1]                 |

|                                                                   |

| I believe that, if he were alive today, Hackenschmidt would       |

| understand what Cabal Fang martial arts is about.                 |

|                                                                   |

| [1] From the excellent article “Muscles, Memory: and George       |

| Hackenschmidt” by Terry Todd and Spencer Maxcy available online   |

| here                                                              |

| Title: Explorers of the Infinte                                   |

| Posted by First Elder | August 27 2009 10:47:17                   |

|                                                                   |

| Content:                                                          |

| “Explorers of the Infinite” by Maria Coffey is a great read, and  |

| its subject matter runs parallel to Cabal Fang concepts.          |

|                                                                   |

| Cabal Fang practice involves far less personal risk than the      |

| activities described in Coffey’s book, but still provides an      |

| avenue to the same types of experiences.                          |

|                                                                   |

| From the inside flap: “In the life-or-death world of extreme      |

| adventure sports, there is a 'forbidden’ territory about which    |

| athletes rarely speak: their paranormal experiences, ranging from |

| fleeting moments of transcendence to encounters with ghosts and   |

| everything in between – visions, near-death experiences, and     |

| psychic communication.  Award-winning outdoors author,            |

| journalist, and adventure guide Maria Coffey probes the mystical  |

| and paranormal experiences of adventure athletes.”                |

| Title: Ancient Coin Reveals Origins of Cabal Fang                 |

| Posted by First Elder | July 09 2009 07:22:25                     |

|                                                                   |

| Content:                                                          |

| Although it looks ancient, this coin is not.  It does however     |

| reveal something of the origins of Cabal Fang.  Each member       |

| receives a hand-made coin of similar design – no two are exactly |

| alike – upon joining.                                            |

|                                                                   |

| This one could be yours.                                          |

|                                                                   |

| Cabal Fang has one foot firmly in techniques and ideas reaching   |

| back to ancient Greece and beyond, back into pre-history; the     |

| other foot is just as firmly in the methods and viewpoints of the |

| present.                                                          |

|                                                                   |

| Thus this new coin, with an hourglass in its center and made to   |

| look old, unites two times in the personal present of the owner.  |
