I was wondering if anyone, out there, some way, some how, had any video footage of the 3 stick fights I had at the Toronto DBMA training camp.

I've been trying to convince people from my Jiu-Jitsu/MMA gym to seriously consider stick fighting and most of them have told me they'll try it as long as they've seen me do it.  (I think because I'm a "real" person, and if they see someone they know doing it, it becomes easier to do).

I know a few people had cameras out that day and if anyone's got any footage of my fights, I'd love to get it, so hopefully I can get some new training partners (so far I've been starved for them).

Anyway, it was the Toronto DBMA training camp, I was wearing black shorts (nike I believe), black shoes, and a black shirt with white writing and logos on it, shirt would say Joslins MMA and I think Alliance Jiu Jitsu symbol on the side.  I had 3 fights, all single stick.

If anyone out there has footage of this I'd really like it.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Does the idea of defanging the snake become lost in full contact stickfighting when you wear such heavy gloves (hockey gloves etc). I've always thought this idea was one of the best the FMA had, but with the gloves does its effectiveness drop?

Is it really "real" contact stickfighting if you add hand protection which almost negates the whole idea of defanging the snake.

I understand you can still hit the wrist, forearm, elbow, etc... But do the gloves take the emphasis off the hand as the primary target?
