Apache Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics, also known as AKFBT, is a collection of studies based on the verbal and recorded history of the Apaches. The Apache Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics course is not a martial arts system, nor is it an organized structure of how all Apache Warriors fought. The Apaches consisted of numerous Tribal Bands and Sub-Bands which all fought in various ways, and on various terrains…but one thing the Apaches all had in common was they always fought to destroy. The Apache Warriors fought like animals, and because of their savage mentality, they defeated their enemies in battle after battle. The AKFBT course looks at how Apache Warriors and groups fought for survival, for greed, for revenge, and sometimes, just for the sake of killing. Some tactics were more commonly used among the Apaches, and other tactics were used on occasion, by a handful of Warriors. The Apaches didn’t invent any system of Knife Fighting or Battle Tactics, however, they did, in fact, apply universal principles that effectively worked in many battles, raids, and killing sprees. They applied tactics that benefited them as they fought in the mountainous terrains, desert plains, and river fronts. Battle tactics have been around since Cain killed Abel. Each culture puts focus on certain ways to fight based on many factors (terrain, climate, weapons, enemy force, etc). What works for one culture, may not work so well for another culture. The Apache Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics (AKFBT) course teaches the tactics that worked well for the Apaches, and the history behind their techniques. A Warrior must always learn from the experiences of other Warrior Races/Cultures. AKFBT teaches the mindset of many Apaches, and it takes a look into what made them “tic.” Some Bands created standard ways of training/fighting to prepare them for conflict. This included horse races, boxing & kicking contests, bow & arrow contests, gun/riffle shooting contests, dirt wrestling, knife sparring, and stick sparring. Many Apaches included a variety of cross training formats to prepare them for their attacks. Apache Warriors would begin the training process to become a Warrior at a very young age. By the time an Apache was a young teenager, he/she would be assisting other warriors into battle. The AKBT course teaches what the young teenagers had to go through in order to become a true Warrior. Fighting in various locations meant that the Apache Warriors had to adapt to their surrounding (which would always be different). The San Carlos Apaches fought in different battle fields and terrain than the Lipan Apaches, and the same was true for other Bands and Sub-Bands. Each Apache group used different strategies to meet their unique situation. The majority of Apache Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics come from the 1800s, during the heaviest fighting. Some Apache Tactics are from more recent history. Apaches fought in World War I, World War II (Apache Code Talkers), Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Modern Apaches have also been active among US Special Forces on Special Operations throughout the world. Apache Warriors are still around today applying tactics for the modern day fighting. The AKFBT curriculum will continue to grow as more conflicts arise among the Apaches. There is nothing new under the sun when it comes to fighting. The Apache's gorilla war tactics came naturally and were unsurpassed. The name Apache struck fear into the hearts of Pueblo tribes, and in later years the Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo-American (“Pale-Face”) settlers, which they raided for food, and livestock. The Apache and the Pueblos managed to maintain generally peaceful relations early on. But the arrival of the Spaniards changed everything. A source of friction was the activity of Spanish slave traders, who hunted down captives to serve as laborers in the silver mines of Chihuahua in northern Mexico. The Apache, in turn, raided Spanish settlements to seize cattle, horses, firearms, and captives of their own. The battles continued with the Mexican and the Europeans. All Apache warriors carried a knife and mastered it's use in battle and for survival.

The group of birds that make up Sczoloa are rare birds that belong to the group Fringillidae. They only live on off shore Islands from major islands, Hawaii, Maui, O'ahu, and Kauai. The live in less than a few miles of land. They look very similar to Akialoas, except for their coloring, living area, and slight changes in the genitic structure. The following species that make up its group are the:

** Hawaiian Shoal Loa (Sczoloa hawaiiness)
** Maui Nui Shoal Loa (Sczoloa nui)
** O'ahu Shoal Loa (Sczoloa oahuiness)
** Kauai Shoal Loa (Sczoloa kauainess)

Cromemco's Word Interleaved Data
Exchange Bus (WIDE-Bus) was a hosted
bus that operated over the standard
IEEE-696 bus. WIDE-Bus allows 32-bits
of data to be transferred by utilizing interleaving
techniques more commonly
used on mainframe computers. The bus
ran between the XXUprocessor board
and the 2048KZ memory board. The
MC68020 processor on the XXU
generates queries to memory in 32-bit
data packets, It then segmented the
query into two equal sized packets
which it transmitted over the WIDE-Bus
in a serial fashion. The 2048KZ accepted
both packets of information, decodes
them, and then locates the proper address in memory. Once the required
data is located, the 2048KZ completed
the cycle by transmitting it to the processor
in dual 16-bit packets.

This technique allowed Cromemco to
maintain the growth path provided by
the standard IEEE-696bus, while at the
same time matching the performance of
systems utilizing such dedicated 32-bit
buses as VME. The most widely noted
implementation of this interleaving (or
multiplexing) technique was on DEC's
MicroVAXII. DEC's Q-Bus is a 16-bit
bus which can transmit data in 32-bit
segments using similar interleaving
techniques as those implemented by
Cromemco.

The implementation of WIDE-Bus
combined with an integrated processor
and fast floating point co-processor, and
triple-cache architecture provides XXU
systems such as the CS420 with the
power to generate over 1,050,000
Whetstones.
