Guro Crafty sorry I missed you at the academy yesterday I was the only one there. Will you still be teaching the 1 o'clock class Saturdays ? Woof Woof

Aloha Warriors thanx  for the loud bark. Hope all is well. Back @ Inosanto trying to get more flow.In the past i wasn't one for set drills but I'm learning to dig them. Ill take a caveman on 1 any day but drills can only make me a better fighter. Biz is hoppin and I'm training like a madman on a mission. What that mission is I have few answers but I'm riding this wave till the wheels fall off. Life has so little time to learn so much.Hope to check u @ next gathering. Train hard & take no prisoners. Woof Woof

Guro Eddy Deutsch showed me some great footage Maestro Sonny Umpads home made training tools.The one I built  was a 2 foot dowel with a 5 in foam ball on the inside & 3 in foam balls on the two ends. Balance a strong piece of fishing line to be attached to the ceiling directly in the middle of the dowel. Run it through the foam ball ,duct tape the entire piece hang it and flow. Although this device was not intended for hard contact u could make it out of hard rubber balls and a fiber glass rod and smash and slash. I love this training tool, it moves erratically & allows u to move 360 degrees on an uneven plain Its set about shoulder high and because its not anchored  to the ground moving through and under is mandatory. Anything can be used as a training devise it how u use it. Ill try to get a pic up soon.       Maija:If u cant find good footage of the frustrator I think Eddy has vid he might share of some of Sonny's training devises.  Woof Woof     

Im sure Guro's trying to hide all the Ancient Filipino Secrets from the random public.LOL 

I'm located in Venice Ca and need training partners for staff,stick,blade>flow,spar,drill give me a shout flexible schedule.

I recently made a tire dummy out of  motorcycle tires. There available out back of any sport bike dealer. When they change sport bike tires they just pitch the rubber. To make u can make it stationary or put it on wheels. As for the wheeled one you can buy a round hard wood disc @ home depot drill holes for wheels and install heavy duty locking wheels so that you can lock one side and work ur foot work around the dummy. If ur on a budget just buy pre made trash can wheels on a plastic base,its not as durable as the first one but will cost about $30.00 compared to $60.00. Take ur base, drill 4 holes in between the holes install 1 1/2 inch 1/4 in bolts, nut, washer blue lock tight. Take a med car tire mark ur bolt pattern in car tire drill insert bolts washer nut lock tight. Now take the motor cycle tires stack them first to see the dummy shape and continue to drill, washer, insert, nut, lock tight. Its important to washer both sides with good size washers so the rubber doesn't pull out & don't forget blue lock tight. Now you have a rock solid tire dummy for sticks, kicks, shin conditioning,ect. Now put on ur personal touches. I drilled in a hole for one of those cheez ball executive punching bags you can get @ big 5 for $20.00 the one made for your desk it just screws into the hole lock tight it down & u have a kick ass head on a spring .Use fiber glass rods staggered & drilled through to the other side and attached with metal cable or hose clamps the kind on ur car radiator hoses. Attach tennis balls for hands, arms get covered with pool noddles & duct tape hands and arms well. Throw a 10 lb sand bag down the hole & there u have it.This dummy moves well on a smooth floor. Hit, chase, trap ,cut with live blades & customize to your liking.  Ill try to roll a pic soon. Enjoy WOOF WOOF       

Woof GuroCrafty. Mark Mosqueira on the bark. Thanks for getting back to me.Looking forward to training with you again.

 Get back to me when you know price of your class. Peace 

Hello  Forum. Mark Mosqueira giving a loud bark to Clan & others.I want to Thank all of the warriors that kicked my Ass at the Aug 10 gathering!!!! I had a bruise the size of Florida on my left hip & a beautiful black eye complements of Cory Davis ( Great right hook) Bro. I have to say that all the so called experts trying to explain WHY we do this have no clue & would do well to jump in the mix to explain WHY.WHY? WHY the F not. Every body has there own reasons for battle.Some of us want to belong. Some of us want to test our skills.Some of us over come fear. Some of us just like to hit & be hit.What ever the reason WHY we do this can not be explained by EXPERTS that have no clue what its like to be HIT by a stick!!!!!! The stick & steel are a  powerful tools. We are not a clan of chest thumping Neanderthals looking to beat each other into a bloody pulp were just a group of artists that are in search of truth.Truth is a vast word!!!!! Every body wants to find the meaning of existence.  If you don't know why you must search for the truth.The stick dose not tell lies, when you get hit you know the truth.We are on this plane for a short time
 and  most will only find the meaning WHY @ the moment of our death but i need answers f-in now & getting hit is one step closer to the truth. I'm proud to be associated with what ever the public wants to call us  (crazy,psychos with sticks,Neanderthals, ect.)I want to feel alive & the DB gives me a venue to express my self through good old ASS KICKIN. You don't need a sociobiology degree to answer the question WHY you just need to get hit with 1 inch rattan & all is clear.THE STICK ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!  Lookin forward to my next beat down.MUCH LUV!!!! WOOF WOOF.
