Title: Please help me find a good video
Post by: deebo on July 23, 2005, 12:10:45 PM
I am new to the art of stickfighting and I am looking for a video that shows some basic stick drills.  I am espectially interested in learning some basic stick drills that I can use on a bag or tire.  I would also like to learn some drills to increase my conditioning and hand eye coordination.  Can somebody suggest a good training video to purchase?

Have you checked out the first series of video instructional tapes from the Dog Brother.  They have various stick drills that you can practice solo.

The original DBMA tapes are awesome!  It amazes me that these tapes were produced in 1993...the production value is incredibly high, and they are a great mix of solo drills, partner drills, and fights.  There is a section in the first tape about warm-ups and building your forearms.  Top Dog recommends using your fighting stick as well as heavier sticks -- I just bought some iron pipe ($3 each) at Home Depot that I'm going to use to build my grip and forearms.

There are also some wicked body toughening/conditioning exercises on the Sayoc Stickgrappling DVD.

the first set of DB vids are geared towards solo training except for #6 (fights), #5 (stickgrappling) and half of #4 (thrusts, punyos) but overall, this is an excellent set to work off of, i made a one hr workout "swing along with Top Dog" vid and used to work out to that.

another set i like is the late PG Edgar Sulite's Lameco vids - i forget the exact names, but he has a 2 vid set on single stick, double stick, and 1 on stick and knife. they are published by Unique.

there are loads more, but those are the ones i really like and recommend to anyone.
