Chad: Right on. The power tape is worth watching.. I enjoyed it. maybe it's just review for you, I dunno. But I like it..
Chop: So far, I've seen tapes 6,1,2,3...in that order. Stick Vs. Other weapons, Power, Footwork, Siniwali...
I think it was in siniwali that he mentioned that not all shots are the killer shot.. he said my power shots set up the weaker shots (backwards from how i normally think..a new perspective to play with)..
but i still hvae yet to see 4 and 5.. I'm watching tape 1 with the guy I train with tonight. he hasn't had a chance to see this yet.
I'll tell you this.. I'm going to get the Sphinx masks (other thread detailing this) for the hardcore, crazy stuff..like brawling with fingerless bag gloves on..or learning to do elbow destructions with my jab/parry...and go to a fencing mask for our semipadded weapons sparring. we've been using macho poly head gear (no grill).. when that's the reverse of what I think we need: less head protection, more face protection..Comment
The Second Video Series--Hot news from Guru Marc Denny
Hey guys,
Just got this message from Guru Crafty Dog:
************************************************************
A Howl of Greeting to All:
Tail wags for all the kind words.
A couple of things:
1) If I am not mistaken, the Panther cost is FIVE tapes for $100, not SIX.
our price is ALL SIX. Thus, their price and ours is basically the same.
And if you buy from us, we get the money, not Panther. The sentiment of the
poster who was willing to buy from us thinking that we cost more is most
appreciated!!!
2) The first series we call "The Dog Brothers series", and the second
series we call the "Dog Brothers Martial Arts (DBMA) series". The logic
of the progression is that we wanted to start out by giving credit to the
men who brought the art to our shores-- hence "The Grandfathers Speak".
The second tape is "A Dog Brothers' Gathering of the Pack". It is not a
"Greatest Hits" tape (that will come later) but has as its purpose to show
what a Gathering of the Pack looks like. 70 minutes long and is a mix of
advanced and intermediate fights-- but even the intermediate fights are
really good! Things have really evolved since we released the Dog Brothers
series in 1993!
With DBMA #3 the instruction begins. (I will be reviewing tonight Pappy
Dog's semi-finished edit.) DBMA#3 is titled "Combining Stick and footwork".
DBMA #4 will be either "The 7 Ranges of Stickfighting" or "Krabi Krabong"
featuring Ajarn Arlan "Salty Dog" Sanford and #5 will be the other of these
two. #6 will probably be "Advanced Siniwali" and #7 "Stickgrappling" and #8
"The Greatest Hits of the Dog Brothers". There may also be one for staff
too. That's the plan at the moment.
3) To make plain the implicit in the preceding: This series is about
introducing "Dog Brothers Martial Arts". DBMA is "a system of many styles
dedicated to smuggling concepts across the frontiers of style" (C).
4) My wife Cindy is testing our new capability to accept VISA orders. For
all orders go to our catalog page on our website http://www.dogbrothers.com
We hope you like them.
Woof,
Guro Crafty Dog
PS: If I may also make a pitch for the Dog Brothers Martial Arts
Association (DBMAA)? For details go to the appropriate page on our website
and then e-mail me with any questions. Craftydog@dogbrothers.com

i think tape #4 has some of the other (non-power) material you are asking about.

Dwayne,
Going over it, I didn't see the footwork tape either. How was it?
I was thinking about the power shot vs. non-power shot today and last night and some of the things I read you post. I just wanted to make it clear that I am not a power crazed big stick weilding maniac. I don't believe that big swing back swings are THE(thee) way to go, I just think that it is something that is not payed enough attention to. I often times stress it because I feel that it is something that is usually not respected and therefor not really taught by alot of teachers. This is because in a demonstration setting, power shots are not needed. In a demonstration setting, defense skills take a higher priority. I feel there are a time and place for everything. The what, the how, and the why. The why is what we experience in "battle". When fighting, it is you, and only you, that make the decisions of why you do what you do. And only you will pay for it. The points that I more or less try to make is that if you don't fight, you won't learn certain things. You learn that things may not work, and I think that is the reason I push power alot. Sometimes, it may be all that you have to fall back on. Or may not. Nuff said.

he makes the triangle footwork much clearer to me. i had an understanding, that understanding is deeper.
I'm digging you about power, and your view. like i said, after watching the tape, i understood a lot more. I've never thought you were the ridiculous goliath type fighter, all power, no finesse..as I've seen clips of you fighting. even with a mask on, I can still tell when it's you, getz.
Just like i can pick Eric Knauss out, simply by his eerie movement.i agree, lots of teachers don't teach the powershot. you're right, in demos, it's different..also, in a CLASSROOM you have to be worried about 1: losing students 2: being sued by injury ridden students, and judged by a panel of your 'peers' for it, who do not share our philosophy on fighting..and like i said, I think see what you were trying to express to me in previous posts. and I appreciate the effort you put into trying to explain something to a resistant listner..
guro crafty: i was glad to give you my money, no thanks necessary. it's the best $100 i've spent; thanks for sharing the wisdom.
