Guro Crafty will be available for private lessons on Friday for those of you coming in early.  Select times during Saturday and Sunday could be available as well per Guro Crafty's schedule.  I have been a private student of Guro Crafty for over a decade and can't speak highly enough of his ability to relay information and bring your game to the next level.  For me however this usually requires a trip to Los Angeles to do so.  For those of you on the East Coast, take advantage of this rare opportunity of having Guro Crafty in your back yard!

Please email me at ryan@dogbrothers.com with the days/times (outside of the seminar obviously) that work for you and we'll confirm the day/time is available, then you will  pay in advance on dogbrothers.com to reserve your private lesson.

________________________________


**ANNOUNCEMENT!**

We are excited to announce that Guro Guard Dog (Ryan Gruhn​) will be teaching Kali-Tudo™ at the East Coast Camp in October! Guro Guard Dog will be stripping the Kali-Tudo movements down to their core and building upon the fundamentals with a systematic and highly analytical approach.  Whether you are new to the empty handed arts or a veteran fighter this material will greatly improve your game.  Guro Guard Dog has infused Kali-Tudo into his MMA fighters training with extremely successful results and has had a number of fighters reach the pinnacle of MMA by fighting in the UFC, Bellator and other highly noted organizations!

The material Guro Guard Dog will present can be used in addition to other arts or used as a standalone system.  Highly recommended for school owners looking to add a striking based art to their schools lineup or to add to a schools current curriculum inside the already existent striking program. 

Note that by adrenalizing Kali-Tudo in the context of the cage, we are developing what we call "consistency across categories" (one idiom of movement for weaponry, empty hand, and the mix of the two that we call "Die Less Often").  The movements of Kali-Tudo are ingeniously designed to be applicable to the interface of gun, knife, and empty hand---No more need to lose time identifying whether an attack is unarmed or armed and choosing the appropriate response.

In addition to being a Guro in DBMA, Ryan is also Full Instructor under Ajarn Chai​ and the PA state representative for the World Thai Boxing Association​.  Guro Guard Dog’s understanding of the singular arts of Boxing and Muay Thai give him an unparalleled understanding of how the Filipino Empty Hand arts and Kali-Tudo blend into the other arts you may have already become familiar with. Read more about Guro Guard Dog here: http://dogbrothers.com/guro-guard-dog/

There is still plenty of time to register!

As we get closer to the Annual DBMA East Coast Camp, a number of you have messaged me in regards to how the Dog Tag testing will work on Sunday.  I thought I’d give a brief rundown in hopes of answering all of your questions.

To start, the Dog Tags are 100% optional.  Some people choose to follow their doggy noses through the DBMA material.  Others like to see their progress and have aspirations of being a Black Dog Tag instructor someday.  Everyone, regardless of level, is invited to this camp and you do not need to be a part of DBMA or Dog Brothers to come.  The tags are simply for those interested.

This will be the DBMA Association’s 1st Annual Camp where Dog Tag testing is an option.  Because of this, we acknowledge that many of you interested have yet to receive any type of tag ranking.  At the moment the only way to get DBMA ranked Dog Tags is to train at a certified DBMA school with an instructor of Red Dog Tag or higher who has been approved to test for dog tags.  The rest of you have not had the opportunity, which is why we are offering it at our East Coast Camp.

The people who are interested in the Dog Tag ranking range from new and old practitioners of DBMA who are simply interested in progressing through the ranks to those of you who are group leaders and instructors that have been with DBMA for a long time.

Because of this large disparity in levels, there is truly no way to have a formalized test for each individual dog tag level.  Doing so would simply take too long and would not be efficient.  We have instead opted to simply ask for those of you interested in the Dog Tag ranking to message me at ryan@dogbrothers.com.  The DBMA Guros can discuss you and your history with us along with where your current level may be.  The camp will then be our final evaluation of what level of Dog Tag one might be at which will be awarded at the end of camp.

Yellow and Orange curriculum are up on the DBMA Association page and we encourage all of you that are interested to study the material.  However, you do not need to expect us to quiz you on each individual technique.

Do note that there is a formal test for our instructor levels of Red, Brown and Black (which at this time we do not have anyone testing for at camp).  This could however change as more of our group leaders and instructors inquire about receiving Dog Tag ranking at camp.

If you are interested in pursuing your ranking through Dog Tags please email me at ryan@dogbrothers.com so we can start the process.  Camp registration will need to completed in order for us to consider you as being nominated for the next level of Dog Tag.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in a few shorts months for what is looking like an amazing camp with some really great talent coming in to teach.

Woof!

Guro Guard Dog

Presa sent me a PM asking "But what equipment will be needed to bring?"

I thought I'd mention it here so everyone knows.  We will be covering all three aspects of DBMA; RCSF, DLO & KT.  That said I recommend bringing as many of the following.  However if you don't have one or more of the following just bring what you have!:

RCSF

Rattan Sticks
Soft Sticks
Durattan Sticks

DLO

Training Blades
Forearm Protection (if you have it)


KT:

Boxing Gloves or MMA Training GLoves
Shin Pads
Elbow Pads

I had an incredible training session with Guro Crafty yesterday.  We made a lot of progress on the curriculum progression for the DBMAA which we can't wait to release!

Aside from that we also worked some "new to me" material which I was extremely impressed with Guro's teaching progression.  While the material isn't public yet, I must say that the progression took some movements that I otherwise saw as complicated and made it downright easy for me to pick up.  I feel as if I can immediately implement the material in my sparring/fighting and look forward to doing so!  Moreover, Guro shared some very new material that he had been working on.  I love how DBMA is always evolving, always adapting and always progressing.  There is something to be said about Crafty's open mindedness and thirst for progressive thinking.

Those of you who have the opportunity I highly recommend private training with Guro Crafty.  It has become a main staple of my trips to the LA area!

Woof!

In this case, he got the bad end of the stick with this blast.  He only hits Rashad once and Rashad swing steps into right lead to throw his right hooks, hitting him with two hard shots.

I think he could have finished it if he would have escaped his hips taken his back. 

If I can remember correctly Inosanto FMA teaches this with a "camel clutch" style spine lock from the back.  It could have also turned into the hip lock I know Guro Crafty is very fond of . :-D

New idea- Conspire to put copies of the KT material in Jon Jones' christmas stocking. I'm highly amused by anyone who manages to pull off moves on pro fighters because they saw tony jaa do them in a movie.

When he came down last year we touched base briefly on some KT type techniques, nothing specific.  He is very aware of the outside footwork (Trigg 101).  From my experience, he's also very open and has been exposed to Kali footwork via one of my other instructors.  We could arrange this if you wanted Guro!  :evil:

I've found a few answers to the "why" of the "spike elbow" being a foul:

1.  Originally it was because of how easy it was to cut the opponent.

2.  More recently they're saying because of the potential foul to the back of the head.

Personally neither hold up in my book.  Many other types of elbows are easier to cut with and if the back of the head is a foul anyway, DON'T HIT IT!

3.  Is because of the ability to have gravity on your side for the elbow (12 to 6 on a clock).  This is why spike elbows from the guard are not a foul which again doesn't make sense to me.

Stupid rule.  MH wasn't put out by the last two grazing spike elbows, it was from the barrage of elbows thrown before hand which Jones was begging the ref to stop from.
