tail wags

This day April 8, 1986, I earned my White belt.  A day I am truely grateful for. 

27 yrs     24 of those years and counting with GM Harper "Kajupit" 


Woof,
KD

Howie trained hard and never backed down from a challange. 

GM Harper, spent some one on one time with Dog Howie.  Good memories

Thankful to have a patient student and for his tenacity.  I have my art...once again

Gratful for my teacher, mentor and the last 23 years he has been there for me.  Praying for anlother 23 +

This is sad news.  He will be missed.

Proud of you Brother .  Now you have a new bucket to fill with the sweat of a GURO

Amen .  The scene in We bought a Zoo where SPAR goes ,hits me.  I lay next to Sam for several days at the end.  

Heavy Hearted

Their Spirit is definately apart of us.

grateful for the gifts received today , esspecially the gift of joy and pride. 

An early howl of respect for all VETERANS and their loved ones. 

Its gonna be a tough weekend.

Survivors Never Forget the cost of freedom .

Grateful GD s son is solid like his father

Chaz got 4 a few years ago , his hair grew back... eventually

Grateful my wife is smiling more these days.  14 years ago Wednesday , she gave into my charms .  Been together since 95.

Loving her more each day :*

I fought Growling Dog with my CM Cane vs a cane I got from a box at the hospital .  I have abused my cane a bit and it is solid other than expected battle scars .  The generic cane broke during the fight...  I've carried it into court through security at airports and never had any issues arise

KD

Grateful to be a home owner and almost done with the move. 

Grateful for the strength to be a able to somehow keep up with my better half.

This is going on next door to my new home.   WTFO

lol

I like the idea and the side benefit of having more free time to get to know the fighters.

Thanks again SG. 

Grateful for my brother in arms and future Dog Brother, Jason Laird for helping a brother out today .  Many hands make lite work.  but the right hand makes em all work smarter.  Thank you Jason. 

ps
thanks to Pretty Kitty,  he went home w his DBs bumper sticker

Grateful for a prior Navy NCO "Hooking up" my dish TV network 

Gratful for back braces. Knee braces. TENNS device. Pppain meds. Bolsters and water.  

cannot forget my Teeter inversion table. hot pad and cold gel packs

Amen

The Great Dog Park in the sky...

Grateful to finally get the keys to our first home.   That was close...  Didn't want to hit 40 without ever buying a home for my family.   Now begins a new adventure

Yes.  Master Antonio Lucero under GM Alfredo Bandalan

Anyone have any info on Bandalan Eskrima or experience with this system?  I've been to their site and just wondering about whether or not to explore it
 further... 

Thanks in advance,
KD

Always looking for more...

My best friend Samson died during the night of natural causes. I buried him at my brother in-laws home this morning.   He will be missed.  RIP SAM.   He was my inspiration for the Rottweiler head in my logo.  Howls in sadness.

KD

Grateful for the love and support I get from the Tribe, future Tribal members and Kajukenbo brothers.

Grateful for a loving wife and kids. 

Praying for the strength to be there for all of you if and whenever you call on me for help.

Gibby,  move faster-hit harder

It makes me feel useful and just spending time surrounded by like minded Warriors is just natural.   

Medical supply checked and organized.   Bring me your bloody and broken

The DoD has the IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit)

Im thinking FFAK (Fighter First Aid Kit) for the DBs kit or maybe Doggie Bag?

Point is there is a first aid kit available here that one as a fighter could become familiar with at the Gatherings of the Pack.

KD

Brain Fart  

69 fighters is outstanding.   My hope is that at least some will buy Dog Brothers Individual 1st Aid kits.  It has all the contents one would desire for self help if injured.   My supplies are limited but available as needed.  It's highly encouraged that you hit up the DB Online shop.

PS

I will be happy to answer any questions and show anyone who buys a DB med kit how it all works...

With consideration for the registered fighters list,  there's an eery. Lack of" Chatter" ...  Everyone has balls of steele. I suppose 

Don't make me send mine in.... lol

Start Hydrating now if you wait till the day of, it's too late.  Look for clear urine output.   Avoid taking supplements that can dehydrate your body.  Also avoid taking Ibuprofen/ Motrin and other things that thin the blood, making hemorrhage control more difficult and internal bleeding more serious.   Just some kibble

Most of you should already be aware

KD

Thoughts on this untested brain

fart 

Picture an mma rash guard with the shoulder pads from a womans shirt sewn or just put in the armpit between skin and shirt??  Also,  how often does an injury of this extreme occur? ??  Are we overreacting and should trust in the honor system?

FFT :  steal wool/  File/ sandpaper.   Check all your edges BEFORE and AFTER every fight.   IME:  small burrs and fisher hooked edges happen when blades connect with masks, other blades and from a variety of contact possibilities.   Proper Preparation is the first step in prevention of serious injury.   

JIC :  Bringing suters, super glue, safety pins and skin staplers



KD

ALCON:  
In addition to good foot and personal hygiene supplies, please consider medical / sports tape,zip lock bags for ice packs and dirty wet wipes trash.  Seran wrap is great for short term use in a variety of ways and a gym towel for keeping the gym floor in your immediate areas dry/ clean.   Im bringing what I have and while supplies last, sharing with wounded warriors PRN

Woof,
KD aka" Doc" ...  "Devil Doc" that issss


Any volunteers want to help, please see me first or join me with Crafty Dog's blessing.   I am not a doctor but have treated many a wounded warrior while operating under a licensed physician in the USN/USMC.   SEMPER FI

Together then....   for the Tribe!   

Thank you Brother

Looking forward to spectator seating this year.  I will be there in any role Crafty deems necessary.   Bringing whats remaining in the med bag.  I hope to be able to view more fighting this way but as it is w my Marines.  "Through the gates of hell for a Wounded DOG BROTHER". (Tail wags)

Kitty do you require a registration sent in anyways???

I know exactly how you feel.  Don't force it.  You only get one chance to raise em right.  The best training is found in garages (IME).  There's timing in everything...

Grateful for GD keeping this thread alive. Grateful the clock's still ticking.

Never cared for" Dueling"  with matching weapons.   Can't we stick closer to the era of "GLADIATORS"  and embrace the challenges of variables such as this?  

Sticks should vary as much as we do as humans.

Every mans wood size varies, its just natural.   
Its not the size its how you use it
lol

Grateful for a nice day w the family at the Base pool. 

I'd like to believe that you're "Guiding Force" will lead to a Tribe of medically skilled responders, thanks to the great Camps.  Plenty to share and I just might get to watch more fights

Woof TCCC refresher classes at Tribals
 
HHH

Im in the process of trying to buy my first home, however schedule permitting I'll be there in support-  Im thinking Im done fighting..  But I may surprise y'all sometimes.   As long as there's med supplies in my bag, I'm there to be of service if desired but most of all to support and defend the strength of the tribe

Semper Fidelis Fortis Cruentis Dog Brothers

Grateful for the Brotherhood of the Tribe and the support you've shown me.  Looking forward to the future and trying to maintain a PMA.   Hope to see most of you in September

Woof woof Tribe and friends.  Im working though some tough times right now but appreciate the attempts to communicate.  Im not one to talk much as those that have been around me can verify.  This too shall pass... It has to.

I think of you all often.

Respectfully yours,
Dean / KD
