Dog Brothers: WARNING: Stick fighting IS Dangerous...

When I was first editing, about 5 years back, I was tapped by some producers working with Dreamworks about heading up this Full Contact Stick Fighting series with the Dog Brothers, a group of martial artists who test their weapons skills to the max. Dreamworks was interested in developing the stick fighting into a form of aerobics, including sticks to sell and everything. I was in charge of this project and when Dreamworks fired the guy in charge of our project and they walked away, Marc Denny talked to me about finishing the project with them. It was a difficult editing situation. Marc was worried someone was going to steal all his footage so I had to cut out of his house in his garage office. Let me tell you, cutting while sitting on an exercise ball with his little boy playing behind me and Marc doing phone work next to me, not the most ideal situation. for working. But I felt I did solid work. His folks were impressed with my cut, but Marc's a micromanager and this project never was finished. It's too bad. This was a great video project with a great group of people. If you haven't been to www.dogbrothers.com, you need to get over there and check it out. It's some of my early editing work but I'm still proud of it.

I could take these guys. Take them to McDonald's, the dry cleaners, the grocery store, etc.

There's nothing better than people with mutual respect for each other getting together to respectfully beat the shit out of each other. Tons of fighting followed up by handshakes and smiles :)

@copypacercopypacer i will have to dissagree with u on that stick fighting is a filipino art.if you combine bjj,khali,and knife fighting you get combative arts everything put together.its what i do and together they will will help you in any situation.

[copypacercopypacer]

Obviously bjj is very much grossly overated since its not even a complete art so its stupid to say it is the best, bjj is better as a sport, not something a person should take if he is determine to kill someone with a knife, impact or empty hands. Since bjj doesn't cover as well as eskrima, it is obviously not good compared to filipino martial arts. :) cheers

[copypacercopypacer]

@ImpassableGuardJJ a pussy? seriously, that statement, just like bjj is grossly overrated, doesn't matter how you fight someone, its whats the most simplist, lethal way. You obviously never fought a real eskrimador beofore. Bjj is not as lethal compared to eskrima, there are gun disarms in eskrima also. Not everyone constantly carries a gun with them, everywhere they go, but thankfully eskrima is a implement weapoinist also. so anything you can get your hands one.

[copypacercopypacer]

there is nothing wrong with someone using a stick, saying someone is a pussy for doing that is just stupid its all about the suvival of the fittest, regardless how he or she was killed.

Now, I'm done discussing this, because I am right and you are wrong, but you'll continue to think you're right. eskrima is good for movies and im sure theres a handful of good tactics, but if u take out a weapon and take unfair advantage, then its only fair to take a gun blow the "eskrimadors' brains out. That's it, there's no reason for an unarmed man to fight an armed one, but if its for survival, the unarmed man should run and get his gun and thats it
