  1. Some really AWESOME nuggets of information surrounded by solid logic.

    I appreciate the small yet major modifications surrounding the Zircona Jab to setup the angle we desire, create a reference point for our opportunity recognition, and take simultaneous precautions to many of the common counters which the opponent may pursue.

    Looking forward to putting in flight time with this material.

    I weight 190 lbs, but getting someone on their heels and driving them is a critical aspect to fightings. The blitz structure, opposite hand and opposite foot, allows us to run/charge/drive/pressure. My lower center of gravity helped, but what helped even more was training with a football tackling sled. Crafty’s expression of Kalitudo/Silat has a very strong football attitude. It took me a long time to understand this and learn through adrenal fighting.

    Dancing Dog is a Beast. He was not going to fight at that particular Gathering as he did not train for it. I have a lot of respect for him and it took a good amount of time, after a very long fighting hiatus, for me to feel ready to learn with him at such an intense level. I look forward our next Dance. OSU Brother, 🙏.)

    Woof,
    Defender Dog

  2. Even without prep for a Gathering, Dancing Dog is one of the most formidable fighters out there. Not only is he really big (6’4″? 250 pounds?) he is really fg agile and fast; has really good snakey stick; and his double stick is of high order.

    THIS.

    My time training Chris Gizzi and my time being trained by Chris Gizzi had a tremendous influence on me. Note well his words of endorsement for KT-1 about how DBMA footwork resonated for him as a football player. Indeed as a linebacker, Chris is a particularly apt model for us. He must be able to get off the X in any direction on the compass, be it to support the line, cover runs (forward L or R) and cover passes (backward L or R) while incorporating direction changes according to the play action.

    Personally I really enjoy working with the sled. Not only does it developing driving power with the legs, it teaches connecting the powerline from our feet to our hands– DBMA is very big on integrating our feet with our hands/weapons!!!
