In 1990, I thought Dog Brothers was cool, but crazy! I was 22 then and Dog Brothers was in the infant stages. Now I'm 43 and being given a Dog Brother name. Shows you that when I was young and cocky, I was not willing to be humbled and desired to stay in my false realm. Now I'm older...much older, and fully understand and embrace the learning experience and crucible. Real fighting is not pretty as in training, but with a good foundation, there's a glimps of it in combat. Woof!

There was a time I didn't understand this. Then I got hit in the head and got it.

I would absolutely love to train with the Dog brothers! Does anybody have an idea when they visit the UK or Europe?

These guys are REAL martial artists. Highly skilled and ferociously tough. It does my heart good to see that this is happening in America - we've become a nation of weak, whiny, fat, lazy pussys. These guys are AWESOME.

@pedro90 there are no didvisions, weight classes, or rules (except 1). As in the street, you really don't have the convenience of being equally paired up. Best thing is to tell people you've never fought like this before. many experienced fighters will help you pair up with others OR fight you and take you along this journey themselve (push, but not break)

so i have noticed that Americans use more knifes and the euro are more likely to go hand to hand thats what i have seen the videos

How would I go about participating in this in 2012? Also has anyone there ever fought with nunchukas? That would be fuckin awesome dude.

is there a novice division. I've got tons of submission grappling, brazilian jiujitsu, gung-fu, and thai exp. but no weapons whatsoever. I'd still love to do this.

@nosaj03 If you went to a gathering and challenged someone to go at it without head gear and pads, it wouldn't surprise me if you found some takers! Pretty stupid thing to do IMO. First of all, you would be putting your life in grave danger and second, you would miss the essence of what a DB's gathering is all about. Sound like you have to much foolish pride! dog tom

I really wish I could have made this one!

kudos to those who fought. just one thing i want to point out: grappling mentality in FMA could develop bad habits. look at 6:47, the big guy decided to take his opponent to the ground to pound him out. the guy below reverses and pulls out a knife and starts stabbing at 7:10 (good job btw). imagine that happening in real life. still, good job to everyone.
