Alipang caught the eye of his pal Brendan and nodded his way. Then he noticed that Kim was indeed there watching....with another boy, who was mainly watching Kim. Well, I never thought I _owned_ her; but she did _say_ she was without a boyfriend... More disturbing to Alipang was the fact that Chilena was near Kim, and the two girls were looking at each other strangely. Had Chilena expressed annoyance at Kim's indifference to her injury at the time it happened?
But Alipang had to continue:
"Master Pitik began today with the stick fighting, since that is what we are most noticed for. Stick fighting is what the great Escrimador and movie actor Dan Inosanto taught to Bruce Lee in return for Master Lee teaching him kung-fu. But we also have unarmed fighting techniques. With us, there isn't so much of kicking and leaping; for in a country full of jungles, you can't count on having perfectly smooth footing for that. When we kick, we normally kick low--at the kneecap, for instance. In what follows, you will first see unarmed fighting, then unarmed defense against weapons, and then a return to weapon techniques. Enjoy the demonstration;" and Alipang bowed to the audience, then went apprehensively to join his sister, Kim and the unknown boy.
He was glad that the exhibition was full of eye-catching action from this point on; he didn't want to have to say a word to his sister OR Kim until he had silently prayed for _whatever_ situation was going on here.
