Woof Quite Dog.... I am hoping we can have our 1st stick fight at this Gathering

I'll be there. Just asked Dogzilla for a dance 

Would the Tribal be on the 1st day or 2nd?
I like the fact fighters have more options if they cant make it out for Sept.

Looks good to me

FMO...  Fight More Often

Oh, now there's an idea for a t-shirt 

Sounds like a good time. What is CQB??? Close Quarters.......

Very exciting. I would love to talk sometime( Dog Rick) to get a feel for what your school program will look like. WOOF

"Just wondering what others have observed about different styles of escrima and their suitability in full contact engagements."

"Do others feel certain styles are more suitable for fighting?"

Here is my take on the above 2 questions from Yomitches posts.

I teach my students that we have to main areas: Sport & Street. When I hear "full contact engagements" I take that as sport or a contest. "Fighting" can also fall under that category, but for the street it is all about survival. I find that the DBMA style composed of many styles and systems is great for a full contact engagement. I have trained in other styles of escrima and I feel it comes down to how you train it as Yomitches said "under stress". Yomitches makes a good observation when he said "But a determined, aggressive opponent makes years of their/your training disappear." I have seen this first hand at the MMA gym I teach and train at. Young men 19/20 yrs old, great athletic ability and minimal training can give you a good run for your $$$. Therefor not every style or every move is suitable for everyone. The practitioner must find what works for them and continue to train his/her in "their own style". This is the concept Bruce Lee had, your escrima is not my escrima (paraphrased). Having a well rounded structure that is adaptable is very important IMHO. Also having a gameplan / fighting strategy vs a specific style is critical, I'm not a huge fan of just winging it. I feel this also applies to the street but looks very different compared to a full contact stick fight. Guro Marc has some great material/concepts for street application as well with the DLO - Die Less Often dvds which you can find at dogbrothers.com

Hope the above makes sense

Looking for a fight or 2 or 3.

I'm 5'9  145lbs blonde and frisky 

I am booking the airfare today! Sorry Guro... i would have also liked to come to the Winter Camp but this is more in my budget!

Looking to arrange some fights..... last time it was like pulling teeth. 

Looking for: knife, Single / Dbl Stick and open to a stick n knife.

FYI

The seminar is being postponed until June/July of 2012.

Further details to come, it will be happening for sure.

WOOF

Thank you. Good times. Can't wait til the next one.

WOOF! Don't Bark if u can't Bite.....

So.... we are not camping??? No bonfires then. Cuz last time i did that in a hotel it did not go over well.

Perhaps we can do a segment on tickle techniques

Location??? CA sounds great that time of year to a Chicago boy. Cost???

So.... I see UFC 139 is Nov 19th,  Shogun vs Henderson not to mention a few other interesting fights. There is a few local places we can go to eat and watch the fights. Should be fun 

Yes... looking forward to it. I have a feeling it is going to be a good turn out.

Sounds great....lets see what happens with the knife fights. I think the knife fights would be a good warm up.   

Hello All,

My name is Pete. Rep Chicago and DBMASP. Very excited to meet many of you and have some fun. New to this forum thing so i hope i am doing this right.

My bud Carlos and I are looking to do a 2 on 2 knife fight. Any takers?

Mostly looking at single stick fights for myself, maybe a DBL stick - no rules (as i have seen posted before... assuming this means ground and hidden knife?)

Would like to get in as many fights as i can 3-5, is this realistic?

I am humbly open to a challenge/ ass kickin, you only live once! Just look for the dude in the  mask
6'4  225lbs
My wife said if i get hurt not to come home..... so I'm cool with that! Ha
WOOF!
