| Title: In Memoriam: Jack Johnson |
| Posted by First Elder | June 10 2010 14:15:12 |
| |
| Content: |
| 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. |

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

| 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. |

| Content: |
| Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated and hard-working volunteer |
| webmaster, our website is now up and running. He’s a remarkable |

| sweating, practicing, searching, contemplating, investigating, |
| and much more – there is now a website to help present this new |

| Although today is a milestone it is only The Beginning. |
