John, Sorry for the late reply. I think you and i talked about this once before, but since the subject is brought up. Im on dial up, on a good day i can get...
I was going through and giving my computer an enema when I stumbled onto these clips of our families annual meet this summer "Beatdown 2005". Lots of good...
I was not able to get to it. The player window comes up and that's it. I can't wait to see it. There is nothing better than a faction fight at a family...
Hey Scotty: If you are just getting a black window, the file is still loading Both of these clips are 9.5 megs. so if you are on dial up it could take a while....
Intersting family gathering you have, JP. :-) Seriously though, I love it! What a joy to share our hobby w/ family...laura and the kids like it, but I have not...

Thank You to all that responed to my post about first strike at rest. I have two drills I use to practise with, the first is with the stick in the left hand...
... Good guys - I've spoken with Marc Denny (one of the coaches/instructors) a fair bit and he certainly knows his stuff. They are FMA stylists but have a ...
The VHS tapes they put out are interesting. Especially when they do testing of Kali type sticks vs other things. At least to me, they're interesting ;). ... ...
These guys are insane! I think I will watch from the sidelines. Scotty ... From: "Matt" <jmhpe2000@...> To: <bata@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, March...
... I've got a few electronic friends who are involved in the program. They look to be dedicated and hard-core guys who know what they're about. Peace favor...
Fine guys! Really willing to talk about the art. of which, the instuctors are VERY well versed. Mind you, TOTAL PSYCHCHOPATHS, in the circle, but fine guys. ...
I hope you were just kidding about saying that they were insane. I think their philosophy is quite well founded. lets face it, some people are fighters plain...
... I just wish that they put out a tap of their matches vs a staff. They discuss such matches & state the results of the hard wood staff breaking vs rattan...
Insane in a good way, I'd guess. It does cause one to question when they show a guy bleeding from a whack in the head, but then again I've seen people post ...
MY comment about insane was concerning their lake of equipment. I realize that if you know if you do it wrong, it is going to hurt, but there comes a point...
... At least one of their tapes has a staff vs sticks match. Don't recall the staff breaking though. They also have a staff tape coming out (if it's not...
I think irresponsible is a better word. To each their own I guess, but I feel that the safety of the students should be a number one priority. I get the whole...
That brings up a great point. Even in our club which is a throws only style, when I broke my ankle last year we were training with the local youth wrestling...
I like their training methodology. However, no one can train full contact all of the time and not have it take its toll (and I am sure they don't either)....
Chad, LOL I just saw your post after I just sent you a personal e-mail about Matthew coming to do a seminar. It is amazing to see what a small world the WMA...
... They don't do hard, full-contact, all in sparring all the time. Pretty much just at the Gatherings, iirc. Most of the time they do limited contact...
Everybody trains in different ways. The Dog Brothers seem to offer what some people like. That may not be the way you would do things but it looks like it is ...
Well, JP, nobody has ever accused you of being overly circumspect. :-) I think, John Patrick Sullivan. the Fifth "Making the world a better place, one beating...
The funny thing is that I am an extremely cautious fighter. I live and die by the counterstrike. I am very patient and pick and choose my opportunities. I ...
