Dog Brothers Public Forum

Let us not forget that these objects can be thrown    Which would you rather have thrown at you?

Gruhn

TD,
  What was your preference on gripping the tire when you had the stick in your right hand?

Gruhn

Another one I want to bring up is "Four Brothers."  It has a hand gun disarm in it that is textbook.

Knife.  If the footwork is good a person with a knife should be able to close the distance while/after the person with the bat swings.

I can't think of a fight who has ever lost.

Hey Dad,
  Welcome to the forum!  Now all we have to do is get you into the members forum!  Glad to see your renewed love for the martial arts =)


Gruhn (Junior)

Hey All,
   It?s getting down to the wire so I would like to call out anyone from the following list that is experiencing their first gathering/fight.  I assume that all ?Dogs? would be out of this category so I will exclude them.  The second stipulation is that you are within my weight range 155 lbs give or take a pound or few.  Those of you who know that you are not within my specs it would be appreciated if you are able to contact me so I am not trying to find out who you are on Sunday.  PM me when you get a chance, looking forward to any of your responses.

Let Me Know,

Bart,
  PM me so we can chat

In staff fights, the fighters may wear wrestling type ear guards under the fencing masks.

Can I ask why you state this specifically for "staff"?

Gruhn

I guess I could mention that the folding trainers also have a pocket clip.  It would lead to some interesting drawing situations.

Gruhn

You get the giant sling shot and I'll make sure they open the door to the airplane when we see you flying towards us!  Or, drive to my house and I'll try and fit you in my bags.  Gonna miss not having you there bro!

Gruhn

Crafty,
  What size blade will we be using?  Sharkies?  Also, what will the rules be because of the close nature?  Can we opt not to go for our knife and stay EH looking to control the other persons knife, punch, kick, etc?

Gruhn

Shane,
   If I may take a stab at this, I personally believe that MMA training while it does have a lot of relevant places in Self Defense also lacks a lot.  Clench, Ground Work and striking are great but won?t stand up to the brutal reality of what we need when faced with a situation where we need to defend ourselves.  Take your GNP (ground and pound) defense for instance.  Are you working in the essentials?  Including but not limited to genital manipulation, biting, scratching, pinching, eye gouging, or are you simply working it from a MMA stand point of working to get guard and then up to your feet?  Yes this is a very hard area to ?practice? but it can be drilled simply by putting it into your head when you?re drilling (and I can do this hear, bite here, etc).  One will give up their mount position of GNP quite quickly to get their opponents hands of their balls.  Let us not forget about the femoral artery that is at biting reach also.  The same thing goes for other positions with the SD essentials.  This however is only in reference to EH situations; working in weapons is a whole other story.  I guess in short, think of what your goals are and adapt your training to meet them.  Think about the area you live in, what situations you could encounter, and what your goal would be if met with someone you would need to defend yourself against.  

Gruhn

Interesting,
  Looking at these weapons as different range tools it would be hard to pick between a bat and a fork.  Personally, closing the distance on the bat yielding person might lead to a domination by the person with a fork.  

Gruhn

So it looks like we might get to see some stick action in Mission Impossible III.  Has anyone else heard anything about this?

John,
  Might I recommend Inosanto's Dumog tape in his Definitive Series?  Higot Hubud Lubud translates to tie, untie and blend and is not limited to only one drill.  Erik Paulson and Guro Dan do a great drill showing the usage of hubud at empty hand range ( trapping range, clench, etc).  After seeing the drills anyone can accept the importance of hubud.  I have seen it in just about every fight I have ever watched, including boxing that enters empty hand range.  

Gruhn

Just picked up my copy, it was on the front stand    


CONGRATS GURO!

I could not find anywhere on the package, prod or web site that said the voltage.  Good question though and I am now wondering myself.


Gruhn

Crafty,

Here ya go! http://www.mytscstore.com/detail.asp?pcID=8&paID=1038&sonID=179&productID=976 . I was just thinking about how to possibly convert one of these into a training blade.  With out letting too much of my secret out, it would be a slip on conversion meaning that the prod would remain stock.  The problem I see though is that the arc of electricity is made via two connections; a training blade would only offer one continuous feed since it is only one blade.  Never the less I think I am going to try and make a prototype off of the prod once I figure out the electrical theory.

Gruhn

In relation,
  I think a cattle prod type device would make more sense since they only cause pain in the area of contact that you get hit.

Cattle prods are similar to stun guns in design -- they apply an electrical current across two electrodes -- but they serve a completely different function. A stun gun uses an electrical charge to incapacitate someone, while a cattle prod applies a charge to get a person or animal moving. A cattle prod only causes pain, it does not significantly affect the muscles and nervous system of the body.
These two devices differ mainly in voltage. The voltage in a stun gun is high enough to dump electricity into the entire body. The lower voltage in a cattle prod only shocks someone at the point of contact.

This would leave the person who got hit or in our case slashed or stabbed aware of where this happened rather than having it feel like the slash happened to the entire body.

Gruhn

ALSO: I work with a group that utilizes STUN GUN technology to add a little more consiquence to knife sparring. The long handle ones that resemble a short stick work best.  Take care,  Tom

What type of device do you use?  All the Stun(t) Guns I have seen seem very cheeply maid and I worry about dropping them.  Because of this I purchased a Cattle Prod that I bet I could drop off a building and it would be fine http://www.mytscstore.com/detail.asp?pcID=8&paID=1038&sonID=179&productID=976 .  Does your gun resemble a knife?

Anyone remember watching the part in Rambo III where Sylvester Stallone has a stickfight match? You'll notice Krabi Krabong in motion picture action.

Daniel Arola

YES!  I named my first cat Rambo, he was my hero when I was a kid.  I remember laughing every time I saw it because of the sound effects.  I found in funny since I knew what a stcik actually sounded like.  

Gruhn

I use a suit case that has the hard plastic corners which keeps the sticks safe.  The airline will most likely search anything you put them in anyways so just put them on top so they can see what they are.  


Gruhn

Don't give him any ideas!
