Dog Brothers Public Forum

Seems fair enough. I can totally understand not wanting to teach one of the bad guys how to attack a normal in a new way.

Good show Marc..It shows you actually care about what happens to the rest of mankind.

I was gonna say the same thing..It looks pretty pimp.

Anyone have the same thing going on? Everything on me seems to crack lol..Wrist, Shoulder, Back, Neck..Wtf?

I agree with Max to!  July would be great and the weather would be awesome. Totally for a state side camp esp if it is in California!

You guys need to have a 4 day camp in America..So I can go 

Damn..Thats ruff! Talk about taking it back Old School!

Tom - What is this Animal list and another question..Is anything of his Amazing 5'3 acts of warfare that he speaks of even real..? He said he rode with a biker gang in Colorado. The biker gang he speaks of for one does not even exsit in colorado..How do I know this? My father is in a Bike Gang called the High Plains Drifters in Colorado and I asked him about this Mystical bike gang and a nortorius unbeatable street fighter who was Names Marc "Animal" Macyoung and he said he never once heard of that gang or that man and on that...The Drifters run from the Plains in Colorado all the way to eagles top in New Mexico. So I think he would atleast heard of this gang..Ya know?

ridiculous war stories and some karate thrown together in a hap hazard style.

lmfao! Ok...Those words were taking right out of my mouth.

Here is a article he did

A quote from him
" There are many so-called "experts" who claim to be able to teach you either knife fighting or defense against a knife. The problem is that most of them are just teaching regurgitated martial arts, usually from the Philippines. While I have lots of respect for the martial arts of other lands, the truth is that you live where you do. Odds are you are not in a "knife culture."

And Another Quote from him

" Lie #15 The FMA are the ultimate knife fighting systems
Let me lay it out on the line here. When it comes to knife fighting, they are all fucking dangerous.

There is no "sun source" of knife fighting. There is no land of ultimate knife fighting arts. There is no race who hold the monopoly on the "right way" to use a knife. As I said, I have traveled around the world and seen knife fighting systems from even more places and what I will tell you is that each of them will make you just as dead, just as quick.

What I will be the absolute first to admit is that the FMA have done wonders for organizing and explaining the ideas behind how they do what they do. And for that I take my hat off to them. And I salute and respect the skill and prowess of their eskrimadors, kali gurus and arnis masters. But I draw the line at even sitting quietly when someone tries to elevate one group of fighting skills above all others so they can swagger around saying that they study the ultimate "knife fighting" system. This above my immediate gag reflex when someone -- who has never faced a knife in the hands of someone who wishes him ill -- swaggers around and tells me that he knows everything there is to know about knife fighting because he studies under (fill in the blank).

There is no right way, one way or only way to use a knife...and the more you know about all the different ways the more likely you are to be able to come up with an effective counter if you are attacked in one of those ways. But if you have only studied one system, the odds are against you being able to come up with something that works. And I have to tell you, although Western practitioners like to claim that the FMAs do, those arts don't cover all the ways a knife can be used on you. There is literally a world full of differences out there.

I have said it before and I will say it again: *Nobody* has a monopoly on the truth about knife fighting. The whole of the subject is just too big. Everybody has a slice of the pie. And learning what they have to say about it and how they do it where they are from is the best way for you to increase you chances of survival.

Howard (and LoveCraft) were great writers with a world so rich it felt like it was possible it could have been real at one time..Long long ago..Howard didnt need elves and Knomes to make his world something interesting...There is a movie about Howard..Where he explains how Conan comes into his room at night with a axe and tells him what to write about his adventures.

Did you know that Howard and LoveCraft were pen pals?

Random question here..I notice that all of the dog brother fights are with a weapon..What about just going at it weaponless against each other and rolling empty hand? Have you guys done this before?

And this happens in the Gathering fights,often after the first few seconds.  The issue is that there are tons of venues for weaponless fighting, so why drag down the premier weapons fighting event ?

Fine....It's a weapons event..I'm bringing a 40 mm Mark 19 Mod 3 Grenade MG   

Cause I know most of the fights I have been in there has never been a stick or a knife..Just two guys making each other have a puffy face...

Howard's stories about the Warrior Christian, Solomon Kane, are my favorite.

"it has fallen upon me, now and again in my sojourns throughout the world, to ease various evil men of their lives"  Solomon Kane - from "The Castle of the Devil"

Then it would be good for you to know that The Movie is in the works..

Solomon Kane was a good character..Anyone read Brac Mac Morn?

I know there are a couple of you out there. (I.E Sun Helmet  )  And I thought some of you would enjoy this. This statue was released from the Famous Frazetta painting for Robert E Howards story The Frost Giants daughter titled The Snow Giants.

This really captures Frazetta Snow Giants perfect. I have to order one. 

I read on WebMd that you can work out while you have the common cold...Anyone know if this is true or haga? 

@ Crafty - That's why I asked. LOL..You get second hand know and wind. I was hoping Wan would have won. 

I have studied with the Blade down facing in before but never got heavy into it.I am going to have to mention this and try to cover alittle more training in blade facing in.. This knife is actually one of the best knives I have held and is superior to anything I have held by Cold Steel. Not to mention buy the dvd and take a look at some of their methods.

They do have to promo videos I checked out on yourtube that explained that knife very well.

Thank you for your responce!

Thank you for everyones imput.

Someone on another forum said it best..Its fluff..A good Straight blast  would mess with the system.

Thank you very much , Crafty.

Do the dog brothers have any clips or Vids while using Kali Open hand?

Kinda like traying to bring you elbows together?

Ok. I can get into position but how do you apply the choke? Do you lean down into the neck or crank it upinto the bicep to get the choke?

It comes from a  English Guy and a Guy from Spain. But it is Silat/Kali plain as day except they totally throw their elbows out way to far for my taste and Roll a punch off the elbow instead of going for the destruction.

When I saw Batman begins, I thought it was Silat/ Kali stuff with just raw Batman street fighting but then I went to the opening of I am legend and they played the 6 min trailer for the new Dark Knight movie and he is beating some serious ass. I wanted to know what kinda Silat they used and not to mention Tom Crusie used the same stuff (what I thought was Silat) in Mission impossible 3. Anyways...So I dug and found out it was called "Keysi" more or less I thought it was BS and they just renamed Silat.
