9-0 (DOG TOM!),
My Dad and I send our congrats! Hawaii is possibly on the radar for 2008 so I hope to see you and the rest of the group then! It's a bummer you weren't still in State College, my Dad's going to be attending the TITAN FITNESS Crafty Dog seminar at the end of the month and he would have loved to have partnered up with you.
Again BIG CONGRATS!

This truly is an honor I can only hope to live up to. I will do my best to get to a gathering to earn my name. I look forward to the opportunity to learn from so many outstanding persons and martial artists.
Hey Ryan, I wish I could come back to train with you guys. I miss the old gym. I cruise the Titan website periodically. I think about it often and all the memories bring a smile to my face. Probably has some ghosts, but they are all in our corners. It was great to see your dad. I hope I look that good!
I start a new job on Monday and there is much travel involved. I hope to get a trip that swings through LA (and Happy Valley).
Howls of thanks to all!

Woof All:
Those of us in the Hermosa Clan will remember Dog Tim Nelson, a.k.a. "The Hobbit". Dog Tim lives an unusually close to nature life-- even when he was here in LA he was an , , , "urban camper" whose only transportation was his bicycle-- which he rode barefoot. In LA this is quite a trick. To come train in the backyard group or at the Inosanto Academy, he would bicycle all the way from his , , , campsite somewhere around Koreatown, train, go to the Dune with us and smoke us on the Dune, then bicycle home. Dog Tim had the most amazing feet-- kind of like you would imagine a Cro-magnon man to have, hence his nickname "the Hobbit".
Tim's life took him elsewhere, but the guys continue to ask me from time to time if I have heard from him. I just got an email with him and take the liberty of sharing it here with the Tribe.
TAC,

====================
Hi Marc:
This Tim Nelson, the pony tailed big footed bearded guy of several years back who trained with you.
Well, just dropping a line; I am living in southern Oregon in the mountains with other people, living under tarps or tipis, baby on the way, girlfriend has a 5 yearold, live with other parents and mothers, we freerange goats in the forest, milk them and pack them. Moving more and more towards a nomadic life foraging and hunting and 'pastoraling'.
I was recently at a barter fair and was watching a 4 year old playing with a stick with an older man and the boys movement looked so natural and perfect to my eye, perfect in slow 4 year old form. and I wondered if you got some of your simple but profound ideas of movement from children that were naturals.
Health is good, bout with lyme, a doosy, rockin now. That's a whole world with info, trapping, hunting, tracking, are my main areas of passion other than the thousand things that go into parenthood, woods life, community life, spouse, they put bread/meat on the table and satisfy a similiar need the fighting may have, I pretty much wrestle who I can, and sport knife spar anyone I can too. using the video clips of the knife stuff I played with a large framed friend with an unusual fast and slow twitch muscle combo with hi coordination and I found it very neat stuff.
Well thats enuf, I bet you get lotsa emails, I wish you the best,
Tim

Mega props to him for living off the grid. While I don't think I could do it full time, it's my dream to get out and do something similar. I kinda want to do it on my own though.

Sir,
Does that include "Candidate" DB's also or just full Dogs?
With respect,
C-KD :roll:
-
Full DBs. Your time will come C-KD :-)
-
Guro,
So I can get it straight in my head please let me know if I am following correctly:
Tribe - (insert name here) Dog
Pack - (insert name here) Dog, C-Dog's & Dogs
DBMAA Members - all of the above plus people who are on this forum.
Is this correct?
-
Umm , , , no :-D
Dogs, Candidate Dog Brothers, and Dog Brothers are all members of the Tribe a.k.a. the Pack. The Tribe has many clans e.g. I head up the Hermosa Beach Clan, Lonely Dog the Swiss Clan, Dogzilla the Hawaii Clan, Pappy Dog the No Ho (North Hollywood) Clan, etc, but many members of the Tribe do not belong to any clan at all.
"Tribe" and "Pack" are used interchangeably.
No money is involved with the Dog Brothers Tribe.
I am the Founder and Head Instructor of Dog Brothers Martial Arts. DBMA does NOT = The Dog Brothers. The DBMA Association (DBMAA) consists of people who have applied and been accepted by me into the DBMAA. We have quite a few members of the Tribe in the DBMAA, but most members are not members of the Tribe-- though quite a few of them are working on it :-)
Does this help?

I talked to my Dad today and his leg is feeling much better. Lots of bruising but he is walking on it. Also, I mentioned that he got "Dog" and I could tell he had tears of honor over the phone. It meant a lot to him. BTW, the tribe list isn't updating for me, is this where the most recent list is going to be published?: http://dogbrothers.com/pages/instructors_thepack.html
Woot!
Gruhn
Very respectfully,
Just bringing this up to the top.
:mrgreen:

Thanks for the reminder. Once again I have reminded our webmaster about this. Sorry for the extended delay.

Congratulations to all.
Even though hitting each other with sticks is great fun, it can occasionally hurt.
Special congrats to Rene for holding up the Canadian end of things and for moving up into the tribe officially.
Hey Tahiti Dog (he's moving to Montreal soon). Félicitations sur votre nouveau mode, a bientôt.
Kaju Dog. What a week. Pain and Joy. Know that Sijo would be proud of your accomplishments, Whatevaa!

Both mother and son are doing great (and both currently sleeping)! :-D

Congrats C-Point Dog & Cat Lynn!

What happened to Dan Farley? I was watching a re-run of the Gathering on TV, but I noticed his name is not on The Packs list.

Dog Dan Farley most certainly is a member of the Tribe. I'll ask our webmaster to take care of this right away. Thanks for the catch.

and if my father could be added, Dog Steve :-)

I am delighted to announce Cat Sister Linda "Bitch" Matsumi.
-
We missed you, Guide!
It sounds like a great day, and I'm sorry to have missed it! This is my last year of coursework on this degree, so this shouldn't happen again. I'm hoping the spring Tribal Gathering will still be in April, because I have no graduate seminars that month. I really thought my professors were going to let me out for a few hours to play! :cry:
I am delighted to announce Cat Sister Linda "Bitch" Matsumi.
Way to go, Bitch.

Congratulations to Tyler :-)
May I also point out he is missing from the list of The Pack/Tribe from both US and European sites.
I take a deep bow to Tyler for having the "balls" to chose this name.
With names like Porn Star Dog, C-Sleazy Dog, C-Psycho Bitch, and now C-Dirty Dog, it is becoming increasingly difficult to think up new and outrageous tribe names. :-D :-D :-D
-
Well, at least he is listed here! :oops:

C-Gyro Dog . Crazy yet ethnic.

Much thanks to Guru Crafty and the Dog Brothers for this years open Gathering of the Pack.

It was really nice to be dogged on Sunday. Dog Howie is cool. Thanks GC. I dedicate this honor to the memory if my 24 year old son Jeremy who died a few months ago from a drug overdose. "Jeremy, I finished the fight that you were not able to bear, my son. Rest in peace. In God's time we will meet again on the other side."

As requested by Crafty, I'm posting here to mention my new 'Dog' prefix. Very sorry to hear about your loss, Howie.

Hi guys
I would like to update the „DB Pack“ list on the www.dogbrothers.ch site…
To do this I need the name, last name, and "dog status" of the guys who get dubbed at the September gathering.
For all others have a look at: http://www.dogbrothers.ch/pages/en/dog-brothers/the-pack.php and please check if your "dog status" is correct.
Thanks and wuff

Woof Crafty,
A couple of corrections on the Tribe Listing:
Dave “StrayDog” Rothburg
Richard “Seeing Eye Dog” Estepa
We are still listed as candidates with"C-", IIRC, we ascended in 2007.
Mamerto “C-Bull Dog” Estepa and “Dog” Mo Estepa are the same person.
-
C-"Mongolian Dog" Cchi Med Kintang
Woof and thanks! Maybe this is the best place to provide a canonical spelling of my name. It's otherwise indecipherable, and I know my handwriting on the registration forms probably doesn't help. It's: Chhi'mèd Künzang.

C-Mongolian Dog:
For those of use without keyboards that do such things, how should that be written without accents, dots over letters, and such. Does Chhimed Kunzang work for you?
-
the current list needs some serious "overhaulin". Howling Dog is on there as both C and full, Dirty,Growling, Sinatra,Crossover are still C level. I figured I and Thomas (C-Gong fu) be on there someday...no worries. There are 2 claiming the name "Devil Dog"...Milt and Jerimiah...its a mess
-

Yes, that's fine. Or -- with the apostrophe but without the accents might be the best compromise: Chhi'med Kunzang.

If you don't have a Mac, you'd have to resort to some madness with the alt key and character codes -- hence Crafty's request for an adequate simplification (just omit the accents).

Whoops!

Clearly I am in need of an intervention. I will see if I can get the ever efficient Lonely Dog to take on this mission.

Recently I have been asked more frequently than usual about what it takes to become a member of the DB Tribe and to become a Dog Brother. This, from the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on our website:
http://dogbrothers.com/?page_id=24
QUESTION: What does it take to become a Dog Brother?
Although many of the Dog Brothers have come out of DBMA or DBMA instructors, this is NOT necessary in order to become a Dog Brother. If you wish to become a Dog Brother, fight at some of the Gatherings, let the Brothers get to know you, and find someone in the group to present your name to one of the Marc “Crafty Dog“ Denny or Benjamin “Lonely Dog” Rittiner” – and he will take it from there.
The first level is “Dog” one is accepted into the tribe. The next level is “Candidate Dog Brother”. At this point, one is showing the level of realization in fighting that we expect of a “Dog Brother”. A name is tentatively given. Typically, we look for this level to be maintained for at least three Gatherings. Then one reaches the grand exalted status of “Dog Brother”.

becoming a dog brother has been on my MA bucket list for some time now. Just gonna have to figure out how to get to the the gathering. I consider the status of dog brother to easily be as significant as any belt ranking.

Woof All:
Announcing a specific section of our website to serve as the official record of the Dog Brothers Tribe and as a place for Tribal discussions outside the glare of the internet. Go to www.dogbrothers.com and click on the button at the top that says “Tribe”.
Open to the general public are matters of record. At present this is limited to a listing of members of the Tribe. As time goes by we will develop listings of fighters at the various Gatherings, photo galleries, etc. We already have up what we hope is a rather complete listing of the Tribe. If you are a member of the Tribe, please take a look to see if you are properly listed. If not, please let me know at craftydog@dogbrothers.com
There is a forum limited to members of the Tribe, be they Dogs, Candidate Dog Brothers, or Dog Brothers.
There is a forum limited to Dog Brothers.
If you are a member of the Tribe, please email Cindy and me at info@dogbrothers.com and give us your full name and your Dog name (Dog John, John “Candidate Fido” Smith, John “Fido” Smith). Please take care of this at your earliest convenience. There are some matters of importance to discuss in-house.

We have received many responses already-- and not a few corrections to be made to the Tribal lists.
It looks like we will be out of town this weekend, so probably it will be next week that we send out the passwords for the forums and make the corrections.

1) After two weeks for commentary on the DB Tribal Forum it has been agreed that the “2014 Dog Brothers Tribal Gathering of the Pack” will be held on May 24-25. Note that this is Memorial Day weekend (for non-Americans please note that this means that Monday May 26 is a national holiday) which should facilitate travel home and boo-boo recovery time;
2) There has been some additional discussion of the process for entry into the Tribe on the DB Tribal Forum;
3) If you are not already registered for the DB Tribal forum, then email Guard Dog at ryan@dogbrothers.com and he will help you get squared away.

Woof All,
We are coming out of hibernation after a long cold winter in Connecticut. It actually snowed yesterday!
The time off from teaching gave me the opportunity to dive back into regular yoga training. I used it as a chance to extract some movements that focus on lower back and hip rehabilitation/ maintenance, and combine them into an easy to follow progression for students to learn.
As usual, DBMA Connecticut will be focusing on Combining Foot and Stick Work, Double Stick, and Edged Weapons training this Spring. Classes will be starting up again this weekend.

A Sad Howl:
R.I.P. My friend and honorary Dog Brother Dr. Jacopo "Dago Dog" Nardi of Milan, Italy. Brain cancer.

From when there was still hope :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUCoJjkTaoE
===============================
Were celebrated this morning in Merate, in the parish church of Sant'Ambrogio, the funeral of Jacopo Nardi, a sports physician, holder blue and Italian vice-champion of savate and brown belt in brazilian jiu jitsu. In the family chapel, originally from Merate, was composed of the athlete's body, also the author of several publications of success, always in the field of sports medicine. He was 58 years old and was known in Italy as well as in Switzerland, where it had been between 1982 and 1983, one of the founders of Seagulls Lugano, first place team football. By lovers of this sport was known as "yesteryear" and "Samurai" for her competitive experience in martial arts. His profession took him to exercise at high levels, the national Italian boxing, kick-boxing, hockey. Despite all the commitments, he could carve out of parentheses to devote to volunteering, especially with the work of St. Francis of Milan. In the video report of the company Minimal Jacopo Nardi talks about "his" boys how did your passion for the sport and the martial arts in particular, by the mystery of the disease that had struck him and that he hoped to defeat.
This morning in the church of Sant'Ambrogio in many, relatives, friends, teammates and ring, they wanted to give him a final farewell.

Woof All:
For a very long time we have not released footage of Dog Brothers Gatherings of the Pack, for the reasons discussed here:
http://dogbrothers.com/tribemembers/forum/index.php?topic=9.0
These concerns still exist, but the context has changed over the decades and so, after consultation with the Council of Elders and with the Tribe (see the relevant threads on the Tribal Forum and feel free to contribute, for there are additional questions to be considered) we have decided to release TO THE TRIBE ONLY “Open Dog Brothers Gatherings of the Pack”. This includes the US Open, the Euro Open, and the Canadian Open. (Policy concerning the Tribal Gatherings is currently under discussion on one of the threads mentioned a moment ago.)
If you decide to purchase the download, in addition to the usual legal licensing agreement (home use only, etc) you will be considered as having given your word as a member of the Tribe. Breaking your word puts your membership in the Tribe in jeopardy. While we are confident that everyone will respect his/her word, but we want to be clear that we are quite serious about this for the concerns about the consequences of this footage going public remain. Well, enough of that!
We (Dog Brothers Inc.) look forward to making more Gatherings available as time goes by. So, why did we release the 2009 one first? Because it was the first one that came to hand :-D The plan is to work in reverse chronological order, but to paraphrase the old saying, sometimes the first casualty of Life is the Plan!
