Dog Brothers Public Forum

I just started picking up Training 2 times in one day..I tried it out and actually liked it..Durring the early day , I did workout for about 2 hours..Did my thing durring the day and then later in the day, I went back and did Kali and switch boxing stuff on the bag.

However, I can't do this durring the work week but durring the weekends it seem's to work out well.

It seem's like I run into alot of people that blend their Kali into something and use that instead of Empty hand Kali..

Example

I use Kali FootWork, Concepts, Stick Work and Some Dumog but instead of the empty hand I go with Switch Boxing, Some Aikido and then BJJ for the ground work...

For Stick and Knife Just Kali

And I was wondering if anyone here practices Kenjutsu?

So...Just wondering what everyone here blends

`I am not that old (34) but I have noticed some work out's with weights will tend to hurt certain part's of my body..More in the wrist area      I started to move to a  weightless Circut  work out that has been taking some of the stress of my shoulder and wrist.

Here is a example

I do about 6 to 10 set's of these and it seem's to be going well with my age..with no rest between the sets

11 push ups on Knuckles or incline Then after a few sets of these I will switch to 20 Dips

30 crunches on the last 10 I condition my stomach with soft to hard blows

Switch to 20 leg lifts

Jump up and do 10 each arm of Bulgarian squat curls

Then finish off the set with 30 jumping jacks..

So if you go along for the 10 sets you would have finished with about 100 push ups or if you switch off you get out around 70 push ups or more and about 60 dips

About 300 Crunches

200 leg lifts

100 each arm Bulgarian Squat curls

300 jumping jacks

I noticed when I switched up my work out to this..I did not hurt myself as much..You are weight training and getting cardio in at the same time..I also noticed that I started losing alot more weight and am getting alittle more tone and harder..I also mix in some other types of work outs but not as heavy as I used to..

When I was in my 20's I could lift a truck..My max bench press at 28 to 29 was almost 300lbs now my Max bench hurts my shoulder roter cuff and my wrist..So I just had to modify how I went about things...I only will bench press about 100lbs ten times.

Belive it or not..The work out I am using I got from different cultures warriors that trained...I took some Spartan stuff, Samurai  stuff , And Chinese ..I mostly took their idea of how to train when a Warrior gets alittle older..They all had the idea that you should give the inner joints and tissue a break for a few seconds

I also do burst runs..With weights in a back pack..Not long hauls..Just from a stand still to a hard cook out and then stop..Then another hard cook out then stop..I got that from Spartan training...Now I am not talking about the 300 stuff..The real Stuff..

You can find the Spartan Work out ( NOT 300 Work Out) at Barnes and Nobles..

The idea of this work out that I mentioned was developed to not put constant strain on your joints for to long..And when it was alomst to much..You were switching and doing something else and given that joint or tissue time to breath..So Roter Cuffs don't get blown out and wrist don't strain under the pressure of heavy weights to long..

Get old can be great and getting old can suck.

Now mind you these are not the only things I do..I do some back excersise ..Very light good mornings..And if you keep your head look forward and lift one leg while doing push ups it works the lower part of your back while you are doing them..It's not super work out but gives you enough on the lower back so you don't hurt yourself...Weight Shadow punches are good to..I keep everything in the realm of reality when it comes to my body..

I heard from a guy that when you want to lose weight you knock off the protein shakes...Anyone know if this is true?

It was actually pretty awesome. I sent you a e-mail with a invite but I never heard back from you. We actually did something rather stupid. We started going over some strikes and what not and then some how with out protection it went live..No gloves, No Mask no nothing,..I don't know how that happend    I walked away in the end with a big Lump in my chin from getting hit in my chin..I took a side throat shot...My left thumb got so jammed that I thought it was broken and finally my fingers felt like cheese..The other guys had some of the same if not worse..I tunred my friends body into Hamburger meat..But on the serious..Very, very, very Stupid..Even the other guys don't even know how we got into that mode..In the end we laughed around the BBQ..Putting ice on the wounds, Tiger balm and other healing aids and started laughing...I broke the silence with  "Man, That was pretty stupid of us" Then everyone errupted in laughs..Goodtime though..I blame the movie 300 for it!!!

having another one in 3 months though..Your welcome to come!

Oh man......   This is what I was waiting for!   

If anyone was interested..I am having people come over to my house on August 11th (Saturday) for a whole day of Free fighting, Bbq and pint bottle Beers with a Large projection screen with 300 playing (Movie Style!)

I should probably include this..I live in the 909 area code by the baldy mountain in Rancho Cucamonga  and the zip code is 91737..That's so you can look it up and see if you are close, to far or just close enough to make the drive

I check out alot of their site and alot of their stuff is really something else.
I like it alot and have picked a few things and started moving it into my normal stuff.
Thanks for the info!

It's South Dakota. I think  lol!

I am in Rancho Cucamonga..By Chaffey College. I don't think I am that far from you.

The guy taking on those several guys in Turkey..Those guys attacking him don't even look like they could fight anyway's..LOL!

Look up on your tube Pro Skater MIKE VALLELY Beating down 4 guys..He just rushes them and just keeps hitting them all  in the face.. Look under MIKE VALLELY fights or fights 4 guys OR MIKE VALLELY beat down..It should come up under those..

I just finished watching it and the final fight was not even solid contact..I was a tad dissapointed. They made it sound like they were gonna go heads up with these guys and full power...Everything up till that point was awesome but I was alittle 

I intend to bring serious game and put up a great fight for anyone "Hopefully  "

Explosive Str.

Good fuctional muscle not the over sized monster muscle..

I am trying to gain alittle bulk and good shape but over all explosive power.

For right now it's a lacross helmet that I am borrowing  from my friend. I have a big german head so it's alittle tight but other then that it's working well...I am really trying my hardest to get my game up..And not hurt myself but I have determination..Here is a small photo of my right hand healing





I got to learn to protect my hand better..

That nubby chunk on my knuckle got just bashed off and hurt like a mother!

question on the fencing Helmet..Does it actually protect your head from the blow and does anyone have a good link to a site that sells fencing helmets?


does this work?

or these

http://shop.fencing.net/category_s/127.htm

Those are Saber mask and are made alittle tougher..Sorry for the questions just looking to get something right.

In my study of Kali I never knew this..Kali warriors wore armour?!!!
Their armour looks like something like a cross between something chinese and something European

http://www.eriksedge.com/moroswords.html


And I never knew about the weapon called the Moro Barong

Do you fight with it the same was as stick and knife?

I can say the first two shows are gonna be HOT..First one is Thai and the next is Escrima and I am looking forward to the PANKRATION but I am not really looking forward to the savate or the Krav Maga..I seriously think they should have choose a wicked form of Kung Fu or something else.

Very cool. Thank You , Crafty!

Holy crap that sounds awesome!

We should have a topic for this to let others now that this is gonna go down on the history channel..

Thanks for the update!

ahhah..That's all I drink well that and tea but I drink water like its going out of style..I don't even drink soda..Crap, I lied..I dri nk Orange juice and cranberry juice also.

Crap..Crafty!

I have been seeing some of these things you mentioned in me.

Dark Circles under my eyes for starters and I also get super grumpy and pissy when I can't work out or train..I push myself to far, I have been told..One of my friends told me, I was addicted to the high that working out gives me...

Here is a example of it..My right tendon in my left hand is swollen from getting hit durring Live Kali stickfighting..My right hand is scabbed up from getting hit durring kali, My left knee is in agoney from Grappling and dumping ppl down and also one of my left toes feels like it has frost bite lol!

But I keep training on this....From what it seems like is I am going to far and need to rest..But when I take a day off I get pissed and angry..And almost feel like I am wasting a day and actually get depressed lol!

I know it sounds stupid but I am serious.

He wants to know how you join Dog Brothers if you live NO where near the DOG brothers and there is no Dog Brothers in his area...I told him you have to fight at a gathering I belive and I told him you can fly in but then I remembered that he is broke along with his brothers that practice Kali.

I am looking for a good suppliment to pick up that gives some good results. I currently weight train along with my Kali and I am taking the following Suppliments (Mens multi  Vitamin, Glucosamine Sulfate, Natural Fish Oil, Extra 500mg of Vitamin C, 500 Mg of L-arginine, 25 extra MG of Zinc, Dhea every now and then, Protein Shake and added to the protein shake Liquid Aminos) I can tell that my power has picked up alot and I am able to either just slam ppl to the ground and go from a Jujitsu guard where they have their legs around me..To where I can just shoot up with ease to a squat on the flats of my feet and lift a person from the ground and just slam them on their back..But I am looking for any other advice with things to try or to stop using...And along with any other work out advice..I do alot of explosive work outs..Alot of Fast and hard...And then I will take a day and just max out..Like heavy dead lifts and I noticed that the dead lifts are really helping me pick someone up from that Guard and slam them...But I want to get stronger...So anyone has any good suppliments to take along with any power workouts?
