6 A Course in Cramming: The Weapons They Brought to West Virginia Con lined from page 51 Said Trey Butriss of Westlake, Ohio, "Every day after each workout-three or four depending on the day-1 write The bigwigs gather for a grin. Left to right, Stewart, Presas, Replogle and Arnold. all the techniques he (Presas) taught us in the order in which he taught... Right now I have about 50 pages of notes after only four days of training." "In the past year and a half," added one of the few female students, "I have studied tae kwon do... I managed to learn basic stances, punches, kicks, and one kata. In less than a week, training with Mr. Presas, I've learned five kala, three sinawalis (sparri ng-related drills), many disarms, angles of attack, and numerous other techniques." Just after dinner one night, camp owner Stewart came out from the dining hall and looked out at the grassy fields behind the building. "This camp has been a great experience for us all," he said. "In fact, I've been thinking about trying to turn the camp itself into a year-around training facility, recru iting instructors and students from all over the country fqr this kind of intensive training." He nodded to himself. Then he grinned broadly. "Just think of all the martial arts I could learn for free." He sat down on a bench between the dining hall and the training hall and bobbed his head toward a young man going through the rudiments of one of the sinawaiis. "You know who that is?" Stewart asked. The journalist shook his head. "That's the sheriff's son. Michael Replogle was talking to him during the upset at the begi nning of the camp. And just in some kind of joking, friendly way said, 'Well, you ought to come over to the camp and learn how to duck.' People in this part of the country have a sense of perspective. I like that." Kl
