woof crafty, from what ive seen of the dogg brothers system.....kicks seem to be used limited and sparringly. is it right to assume this to be true? can you tell me what role or importance kicks play in the dbma system? also as much as i love swinging the sticks and i know its a very effective self defense weapon. i cant help but see a jail cell with my name on it if ever i were to use them except maybe in a extreme situation. i guess i say that in hopes to see more empty hands training......lets face it most likley even faced against multiple aggresers if a trained stick fighter were to win out and most likley i feel he would.....i feel that the court system would in some way side with the "poor victims". especially in todays mixed up society where right seems to be wrong and wrong seems to be right.... care to comment?
