What is Dumog

To me Dumog is incomplete because it does not seem to cover two of the ranges needed for close combat. I have only limited exposure, but as far as I know it does not have:1. The shoot and sprawl…Continue

Henry Paz replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"Badger,
I'm wondering something. Do you think your original assertation:
"Dumog is incomplete because it does not seem to cover two of the ranges needed for close combat."
has been addressed? If so I suggest we move some of these…"

Henry Paz replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"Dear Guro Zach,
Thank you for your post. I would welcome you addressing me as brother Henry or Henry , Eskrimador, or basically anything that isn't offensive. I am not a real stickler about titles in my opinion except that one doesn't…"
Badger Johnson replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"Ollie,
Here in lies the problem. First, I don't believe the GMs and other FMA would want us to consider ourselves 'pieces of excrement' compared to them. Yes, I do treasure my instructors, Jorge Lastra and Mat Marinas but Jorge…"
Bill replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"One of Vunak's partners in the dumog videos and the PFS was a member of the military.. If I remember right, he was an officer in the Navy."
Black Swan Tactical replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"Vunak was also a trainer for the special forces. On one of the videos that I had a link to on YouTube, Vunak said that the US Military wanted him over some of the people that Vunak recommended they hire, because he was NOT clean cut, NOT…"
Guro Ollie replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"And with regard to the respect part...I will ALWAYS give respect to all and ALWAYS use their titles...our predecessors fought and put their lives on the line so their respective systems would continue to exist so we could inherit them!

Guro Ollie replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"Um...Hi...I hope it is ok to re-enter the conversation my Kuyas (big brothers)...
I have been sitting on the sidelines mostly just reading what everyone has been saying, but now I feel compelled to re-engage...
Regarding the attributes…"
terry joven replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"Those are all great reasons.... so in my mind its probably the person rather than the style that will win in the end... If the FMA practioner had the same attributes he could win also.

Badger Johnson replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"Let's briefly examine how a 'sports' fighter beats you:
1. Superior conditioning - they can out run you and wait for you to tire.
2. Vast numbers of varied skill opponents
3. Used to being hit
4. Using their skills on the fly -…"
Badger Johnson replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"Play fighting as reality. Let's take any sport vs 'reality'. Riding a bike. Is a guy rides as a courier in downtown NY very good? Yes. Will he win the Tour de France or any bike race? No. Cheating or fouls or 'too deadly to…"
terry joven replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"great comments
and "cheating " is only the word that was used to explain certain techniques!
all is fair in love & war!"
Lowell H. replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'"
Again, Mr Johnson, I don't understand why you continue to emphasize the sport-oriented facets of "fighting" (for lack of a better term).
The concept of cheating and "foul tactics" does not exist in my mind,…"
Tim Rivera replied to the discussion 'What is Dumog'""1. I can train a good grappler (resistance/performance based) to 'cheat' in one session. It would take me 18 months to train a RBSD, or school-based FMA (low impact stuff), to do good grappling flow."
The point is well made,…"

Badger...
i checked out the blog... i really agree with most of it.
Our club are mainly comprized of very good stick fighters and our motto that we train by ie "Train For the Truith" Leo pretty much taught us what was real for him so he trained us the same way.
we do train Cadena De Mano & train in alot of the drills & applications but we do know that they are just part of the curriculum we need to develop ourselvse as "complete" martial artist.
we also cross train in BJJ, thai boxing, kick boxing and just plain boxing to round us out.
we know that you need to try evertything out and put in categories such as what is functiona...l and what is for the arts sake which we still will practice to keep out ties to our history.
i remember training with Burton in the 90's and i saw him transform from a lot of the La Costa/lameco type drills to his more simplified "battlefield Kali" i beleive that was from his training with Matt Thorton and his Functional JKD at the time.
i also remember Burton coming to Stockton for a Coalition tournament in the 90s and a lot of the guys had heard of him and were kind of itimidated by his reputation...
but Glenn Abrescy didi not know who he was ..said " He ain't from Stockton" and pretty much took him out.
So like i said i do agree with alot of what u say in the blog.
just to let u know!
Bahala Na Bro!
