Hello everybody.
I just discovered the Dog Bros website, and have enjoyed it greatly. I watched all the video clips and am going to start buying the videos, although I want to wait for the DVD versions.
I have been studying kung fu for a year. Previously I trained in TKD (black belt) and part of our ciriculum included Modern Arnis. After seeing the video clips here I was astounded. I never thought the Arnis we were taught seemed very applicable or realistic to any real life situations. Now I see what stick fighting can really look like. Can anyone tell me the relationship between Modern Arnis and the type of stick fighting in these videos?
I have enjoyed reading through many of the forum postings.
