Woof, Im in for whatever works best for the Tribe as a whole.  Anytime after February should be good for me (I'll have my Tax refund by then) 

Im flexible as to allow for maximum participation. 

Crafty, will this be a 2-3 day Tribal Gathering as with the last couple April Gatherings?  Im I on the right page with all on this?

Either way, 1 day, 5 day, whateva...  I plan to be there 

PS
Any word on the pics or vid clip Night Owl is working on from the last Gathering.  I know you mentioned he is doing the final bits and pieces on the new Dvd's and this would be comming soon.  Sit rep? 

February works for me 

Yes,  Thank you for asking.  All the little ones are doing well now. 

TGIF!

Gratful to have made it through this week without letting my emotions take control during certain challenges this week.  It's been a week long test of self control.

Gratful that my new students are being consistent.  Showing up is half the battle...

Sorry No. Just popped this in because I like the way Sijo does his bit in the beginning from his seat.  

This is GM Angel Garcia's DVD series.  

Angel Garcia was born in Spain on August 26, 1956.   Angel began his Kajukenbo training in the 70's under the instruction of Sifu Ed Shepard.  Shepard was a black belt from the Al Reyes line who was assigned to Spain while in the U.S. Air Force.  Garcia acheived the rank of black belt before Shepard was transferred back to the states.  
When Sifu Shepard died in a car accident, Garcia lost his only contact with Kajukenbo for many years. (He was the only Kajukenbo black belt in Spain).  
In the 80s, when Panther Productions released their Kajukenbo tape series with Professor Gary Forbach, Garcia immediately bought them.  At the end of the tapes was contact information for Prof. Forbach.   Angel contacted Prof. Forbach and re-established the connection between himself and the Kajukenbo Ohana.  
Over the years Prof. Garcia has made many trips to the United States to train and visit with Prof. Forbach, Sijo Emperado, and the late Prof. Halbuna.
Besides his Kajukenbo training, Angel has studied other arts, and is known for his strong jujitsu techniques.
Angel has written 2 books on Kajukenbo, and starred in many videos on Kajukenbo.
He is the European director for the K.S.D.I. and has established 29 schools in Spain, France, Switzerland, Monaco, and Belgium.

Kajukenbo 



 

Gratful for the people that brought needful things to me over the last few days.  I am loading my truck with items that have been donated and a friend of mine is loading a shipping container at SF Bay to be shipped to American Samoa Tsunami victims.  She is flying home to help her family and making sure the container makes it to all the people within her ability to help.  Im driving to SF Saturday afternoon and I am also gratful for the kind offering of a place to rest my head before driving back home Sunday.

 

I must be stupid...  This makes absolutely no sense to me

Woof Crafty,

I received you VM.  Please do whatever you see fit.  I TRUST YOU and feel proud to be part of something bigger than myself. 

Anything for you and the Tribe.   

Semper Fi!

Gratful for all the new students that started class tonite.   

Now, lets see how many stay 

All in all a good night.  As a teacher,  it's always a treat to witness the the grand openning of the conscious mind.   

KD

Gratful for the family I have chosen, cause the family I was born with sucks!   

I know how most of us have certain items that become special after being worn at such a life altering event.  With the chaos and excitement that accompanies things such as these, certain items are often missplaced or picked up during the shuffle that may or may not be ours.  This thread has been started with the hope of returning such things to their rightful home...


As I was clearing the CCP area I was one of the last, if not the last to depart PH gym.  I have the following and would like to help them find their way home  


1.  A black/blue bandanna...  I am assuming it is C-Dog Rene's

2.  An all black double edge Sharkie training blade

3.  A yellow/black rash guard with "bjj revolution" logo

Please hit me back either here or with a PM and I will be sure they find their way back home.

Honor, Courage & Commitment,

"Semper Fi",

KAJU DOG


PS
Will consider trade for a picture of my shooting Bitch Linda 

Dont forget Kaju Dogs (Docs) corner 

I'd like to set up my stuff like last time near the back exit just incase we need ambulance access. 

I will be there ASAP Sunday to help set up.

 

I will be very lucky to survive even one of these fights.  "I can live with losing a good fight, but I can't live without fighting it" 

Dog Rene = Cane
Dog Ryan = (L) Single stick
Howie from Philly = Whateva
Jon (Jonobos) = Double stick
Ryan A = Single stick ?? Maybe 

Dog Rene = Cane
Dog Ryan = (L) Single stick
Howie from Philly = Whateva
Jon (Jonobos) = Double stick



This is what I have lined up so far...  I must be honest, I would like to open myself up to a fight or two with the unknown.  I'll bring my wepon(s) of choice and you bring yours.  IE.  I step onto the mat with my single stick and hidden knife and meet my opponent with whatever he/she wants to bring onto the mat.  No preset "Duel".  

Anymore takers??  I am hoping to last at least for a few more.  

I read this earlier and have been trying to come up with a way to help.  As you know, my home is a 3 hr drive away.  I am more than happy to bring my air mattress and loan a sleeping bag and or tent if it will help.  I have the camper shell on my truck but I may need it myself if too broken to drive home that night. 


Wishing there was more I could do.  I am open to suggestions and can loan supplies if it helps. 

If there is a place to pitch the tent, Id even be willing to sleep over in my camper next to the tent for Sunday night.   

 

I'll second that.    

I've gotta get some of that for under my mask next time Im fighting Dog Pound.   

 

WOOF,

Crafty - "You've got mail"
 

Looking forward to the updated list of registered fighters.   

Maybe your not paying her enough Crafty?      

Great question and interesting thought.  I have often mentioned in my classes that a good improvised weapon of opportunity is a car antenna.  I have also had kids train with the plastic rods that turn the window blinds open and closed.  Wont kill, but will sting like hell and hopefully present a moment of distraction to allow for other tactics. 


Maybe a car antenna would be a good/realistic substitute for the saber.  I would be willing to whip an antenna around with someone. 


KD

   OK, so far I have Dog Rene (cane fight) and Dog Ryan (left handed stick fight).  

Anyone else got some fights lined up yet...  Only a couple weeks to go!

Im looking for a "Shock Knife" fight, a Double stick, and a Staff fight...  

Keep in mind I may not be able to fight alot of fights but will do my best, until the knees or back have taken too much.

Gentlemen,
LET THE CHATTER BEGIN  

Newbies welcome...  I am slow and physically challenged but will give you a good run for your money and dont hold a grudge.  Dogs Honor!

OK,  but I am bias

Guro Crafty,

Just curious if you received my email?  I can resend it if you need me to.  Plus, I will be shipping the package back to you soon.   

    I wish it was that easy...  Not even close to being on the fence.  Stuck in the Kennel more like it, with Uncle Sam holding the key to the gate. 

I'll be with you all in spirit.  take lots of photos. 

PS
Dog Rene, Hows your finger these days.  (Mine is still not healed) but wont stop me

Woof,

Guro Crafty... You've got mail.   

WOOF,

Crafty,

I received the package today.  I will email you my report in a couple days. 

I have visited the web site and looked over the inventory lists.

Q:  Is it ok for me to open a couple items to get a closer look?  Everything is still in its packaging for now.

Respectfully,
Dean KD "Doc"

   Will do Sir.

So the PIG's out of the bag...   

I have had this training OEMS "Operational Emergency Training Skills" and it was by far the BEST TRAINING I have ever received as a Navy Corpsman.  Without this course, I can honestly say that some of America's Sons would not be alive today.

The old saying was, "The First Rule of Pig Lab - Don't talk about Pig Lab".

If they shut down this training, Lives will be lost.  GAURANTEED

 

Makes me wonder if the Pen is this guys MO, did he have it in his hand with intent, going into the altercation.   

KD

Woof Maxx,

What you said above, I have found to be one of my greatest challenges thus far.  In about 3-4 Gathering fights past, I have carried a training folder in my pants pocket where I usually keep my primary knife when going anywhere.  In all of the past fights that I had this on me, I NEVER remembered that I had it or even to pull it out until the fight was over.  With one exception, my cane fight with Dog Rene.  (It was nice that he gave me ample time to get it out too)   

This is a big thing for me to accomplish in the adrenal state.


Just glad your alive and not too damaged.

KD

For Brothers like Crafty and the rest of the Tribe.  Unknown to all, is the life you save by beating this mutt with your sticks.  Much appreciation to Crafty and Cindy for your kindness.  The VL came just intime to kindle my spirit.  I only hope to be there for you if there is ever a need.

Semper Fidelis & Semper Fortis from Mount Soledad,


(This we will defend)

Getting my med kit restocked and ready for September's Gathering of the Pack.

PS
please feel free to process payment for my recent order.  (but please do it quick or I may have to catch you on the next go round)

Love and respect,

Gratfull it's almost pay day   

Im really jazzed for you all.  Should be a great time, "Empty your bowl before you go, so that you may leave with it full". KD's twist on a Chinese proverb

Kibbles and bits 

Im hoping to make this Saturday class...  Just gotta line up the stars.   

MMMmmmaybe not,    The one you broke on me was an inferior wood.  But it still stung.   

I hope to see you soon.  Thanks for everything, but mostly your friendship and loyalty to the pack.

Woof,
KD

I smell the fear in the air...  It's time to get your Fighter Registration in so that the real "Chatter" can begin.


*I know with EURO Gathering and the Canadian summer camp that this is on the back burner a bit....  Just bringing this to the top to keep it fresh. 

I am hearing a slight chatter in the distance and feeling excited for this one.  (Fairly Local for me = I can go!)


PS
Dog Rene, keep working that cane.   

Respectfully,
KD

...for good weather and the improvements to Mount Soledad. Never Forget... for this we shall defend.

WOOF! 

Guro Crafty,

You should have a couple of these in the pack I gave you     

PS

They are great!  I have had the unfortunate need to use them on more than a few Wounded Warriors while I was in Iraq.  The main thing to remember is to wipe the area as dry as possible before sticking it on.  And always check for an Exit wound!  They can be used for both entry and exit wounds.

Before the ACS came about, we would use a piece of plastic and tape on 3 sides to allow for burping the trapped air from the chest cavity.   

On a similar note you can also use a needle to decompress the chest, cut a finger off of a surgical glove and put the needle through the finger tip, add a bit of vasaline or surgi lube/KY whateva inside the finger sleeve as to not allow air in while still allowing air to escape.

This will buy you some time but should only be performed by a trained professional!

I'll be happy to share this at the next adventure as time permits.

If C-Sleavy Dog is up for it?   

Justing bringing this to the top.

Sept 20th will be here before you know it.  If you plan on fighting at this one, please get your "Fighter Registration Form" in. 

http://dogbrothers.com/pages/gathering.html

Im looking forward to setting up some fights early.  Last time at Power House it was a huge turn out with lots of fighters.  I hope to get in at least 10 fights this time. 

I already have a cane match set with Dog Rene 

I want to also call out anyone that wishes to go against double sticks, staff and of course "Shock Knife".  I would also like to defend with double stick against staff.

Let the chatter begin...   

Woof - Woof!!
