That is bad news! I hope Cyborg heals soon.

Dan - Your Doggie-Plata sounds scary!

Very Cool Vids! I love the flowing nature of the system.

This guy needs some help in the reality department. We can all take videos out of context but it really serves no purpose.

Woof all,

Arrrrr,
C-Scurvy Dog

Woof Dog Cory (AKA Dog Pound)!

That is an interesting phenomena you bring up. More than a few of the tribe are now very close friends with my wife and I. As a matter of fact, I had three Dog Brothers, three Candidate Dog Brothers and one Candidate Cat at my wedding reception which was held last November after my wedding in Costa Rica. Each Gathering strengthens our ties and adds more friends and comrades to our circle of friends. Great Gathering all and looking forward to many more to come!

I was going to respond with my typical routine but it seems as though Tom beat me to it. Mine is slightly different but the principle is the same. Try that and you can't go wrong.

Interesting read CWS. I tried shock knife vs. stick in the last gathering and had worked the scenario and tactics out in my head over and over again to be the knifer. As far as I was concerned there was no way I wanted the stick as the common perception is the knife will always win in the end. (At least the common perception in MY mind). Apparently my opponent felt the same way as neither of us could agree to be the stick so we decided to let fate pick. We had Crafty hold up fingers behind his back and unfortunately I got the stick.

At this point I didn’t really have a game plan for the fight however as he came at me from the start I got him with a good shot to the head and a quick follow up to the wrist/hand area of the knife hand. (At least this is what I recall, adrenaline has a way of messing with memory it seems). After that it was all downhill as I believe he stabbed me 10+ times in the ribs as he clinched and I got stuck in the corner. What I didn’t do effectively was move and by reading about your training with Marc I can see that is of high importance. The reach advantage of the stick was only good until he closed the distance with my lack of movement. I also pulled the monkey with his hand in the cookie jar trick in that I held onto the stick in the clinch when it was no longer of use when I should have been defending against the knife with both hands. Defending the sewing machine with one hand is no bueno.

In hind site I was dead many times over but I do have to wonder how the strikes to the head and to the wrist would have been without the equipment in a real situation. Would it have made enough of a difference to survive a real attack or just that he would go to the hospital with a concussion while I went in the morgue? This is an experiment that needs more work for me.
