For anyone who wants to get a real feel for what a Dog Brothers gathering is like, I would highly recommend purchasing this one from the new series of DVD's
It's the next best thing to actually being there and gives you an inside look at the positive energy that manifests during a Gathering of the Pack.
This DVD has no instruction per say, although one can learn plenty by just watching the fights.
This dvd can be found in the "DVD's- Cultural/non instructional" section of "Poducts for Sale"
You won't be disappointed as this DVD is Action Packed!
This and all the Dog Brothers Videos/DVD's can be purchased here at the "Public Store", on the Home page of this site. See review below.

A Gathering Of The Pack
In 1993, our first series, commonly known as "The Dog Brothers Videos", introduced "Dog Brothers Real Contact Stickfighting". Since that time, the fighting has evolved A LOT. Twice a year, we host our "Dog Brothers Gathering of the Pack" and this video, consisting of selected fights from 1994-1999, shows just how much the fighting has evolved since the fights of the late 1980s and early 1990s that formed the basis of the first series.
The video opens with the opening talk, which sets the understandings for the day, and promptly turns to two 1 on 1 knife fights, and one 2 on 2 knife fight. There are many single and double stick fights, single stick versus double nunchaku, stick versus hardwood bokken (ends in broken hand) and two 4 foot staff fights (one of them ends in a ruptured ear drum). The video closes with the fighters' circle as the fighters share the day.
This is not a "Greatest Hits of the Dog Brothers" video (that comes later). Although some of the fights in this video may well appear in the "Greatest Hits" video, with this video the idea is to show just what a Gathering is and to show the current fighting. And at a length of 70 minutes in this video there is plenty of that!
