Yes. The tapes are extremely thorough, and give you what you need to know for using your sticks in a real fight.
So power is covered. Footwork. Striking at different levels. Turning your opponent. Grappling.
All in all, the very best of tapes. I highly recommend them. Good luck.

The grappling arts imply most fights end up on the ground. The striking arts imply all fights start standing up. The clinching arts imply the clinch can stop the striker from striking, and the grappler from taking it to the ground. The weapon arts imply the they can stop the unarmed man. A complete martial art implies any fight can go anywhere...be ready and able to go everywhere.

Thanks for the replies....
They sound awesome!
Panther is having a special to where I can get all 6 tapes for $100 til 2001-which I believe is a total steal!
Please keep the reviews coming-I will be ordering at the end of the month.
Thanks!

Without a doubt, if you want to learn how to use your sticks in combat, the Dog Brothers series is the one to check out. Learning to use the skills taught on the tapes is greatly accelerated thanks to the fights shown as examples. Eric 'Top Dog' Knaus is an outstanding technician, as well as fighter, and in my opinion, really gets the material across clearly and simply.
The tapes break down as follows:
Tape 1 - Power: covers basic power hitting, stroking drills, and discusses the importance of HITTING HARD.
Tape 2 - Footwork: my favorite tape of the series, covers the footwork techniques from Pekiti Tersia. Footwork is an often neglected part of training, and in this tape Eric seeks to correct that. Watching this tape has greatly improved my own footwork and overall body flow.
Tape 3 - Sinawali: covers two stick drills, discusses how to use your Sinawali in combat, and also covers some basic single stick techniques.
Tape 4 - Blocks, Thrusts, Punyos, Snakey Stick: covers the previously mentioned, plus 7 seguitas from the Pekiti Tersia system. The seguitas act as an introduction to keeping your stick in constant motion, adding some 'slight of hand' to your basic strikes. Plus the 'Exploded Star Carrenza'! Very Cool!
Tape 5 - The Fang Choke and Grappling: self explanatory. Covers the Fang Choke technique, plus some basic grappling techniques from Machado jujitsu relavent to stick fighting.
Tape 6 - Fights: the stick v.s. other weapons (bokken, staff, nunchaku, etc.). No formal instruction or techniques, but just watching the fights will greatly enhance you're own learning.
Btw, most of the techniques demonstrated on the tapes are followed by fight footage. Overall, a must see series if you want to learn how to use your stickfighting skills for real.
Peace,
Jay

thanks for asking the question badger
I myself was looking at ordering them tomorrow. I still had questions about them, but was merely going to go on their reputation. Now I have even greater desire to own these tapes.
The dog brother's site has all 6 for $125. I'll prolly by from them, even though they will cost 25 dollars more. Men who beat each other with sticks, then pass the knowledge onto a wanker like me..well..the least i can do is order from them directly.

I'm eager to watch these tapes. especially the footwork tape.

DB tapes part deux
I think Marc told me three yrs ago that the new tapes would be done soon. Then a couple months ago he says the first of the second set is done..... BUT NO DAMN NEW TAPES YET!!!!!
It's not right I tell you.... cruel and unusual punishment. Hope the tapes come out before I get to old to swing a stick!
