Woof:

Please allow me to distinguish:

a)  "The Dog Brothers-- a band of sweaty, smelly psychopaths with sticks dedicated to higher consciousness thought harder contac"(c) and
b)  Dog Brothers Martial Arts with the mission statement of "Walk as a Warrior for all your days".

To become a member of the DB tribe entails fighting at DB GAtherings and being well-regarded by members of the tribe as having good DB spirit.  The upcoming DB Gathering in Bern, Switzerland would be a great way to get started!

DBMA has the DBMA Association-- membership application elsewhere on the website.  DBMA in Europe is headed by Guro Benjamin "Lonely Dog" Rittiner  of Bern, Switzerland.  Please look up his contact on the DBMA Instructors Page and get in touch with him.

Woof,
Guro Crafty Dog

Thankyou for your kind words,

I am very proud and thrilled to now be an Apprentice Instructor within DBMA, although I believe it is important to remain humble in these early days of my training. I train in DBMA because I enjoy it and will gladly help anyone who is interested in getting involved in this system and its concepts.

My plans over the next year is to open up monthly TG meets in Brighton, Essex, Sussex, Surrey and London.
I hope this will increase the DBMA members and long term group leaders and trainers in the UK to try and bridge the huge gap between myself and El Hig in Scotland.

With Guru Lonely coming over for seminars now is a good time to get involved

Regards

Matt

Congrats Matt on being made an Apprentice Instructor. Looking forward to the next seminar (Does this mean your gonna charge more now?;O.)

Hello Ash,

The next confirmed dates for the East Grinstead TG are Sept 17th (sorry, I know this will clash for you, but I am unavailable for the 10th), October 8th, November 5th and  December 10th.

Dates and venues for London and Brighton will be confirmed shortly as I am looking at venues tommorrow.

It was great to meet up with Mike Dunnage whilst in Hermosa, i plan to contact him now that i am back.

I covered some stretching routines with GC on my trip which we will be using at our TG. It is about developing good posture, i think this is the Dog Yoga if I am not mistaken.


Kind Regards

Matt
