Dogbrothers Gathering of the Pack September 2010
The following video is a compilation of highlights from the September 2010 Gathering of the Pack, courtesy of DBMA. The Gathering of the Pack is an advanced form of training designed to simulate the reality of actual combat in a way that tests the participant’s ability to think, transition and function while in the adrenal state. The extreme nature of this event is not for everyone and students of THE TRAINING MAT are not required to participate. The principal idea behind this event is best stated by Marc “Crafty Dog” Denny during the first 30 seconds of the video.
On Saturday, July 31, THE TRAINING MAT instructors Mark Houston and Jesse Marez, students Ana Murcia and Christopher Long, as well as training partners Mike Paluzzi and Aaron Hayes took part in a Brazilian Ju Jitsu seminar with BJJ World Champion and UFC Veteran Vinicius “Pezao” Magalhaes and Peter Sutton at Mr. Sutton’s Stable BJJ Studio. Mr. Marez has been training in BJJ with Peter Sutton and competing for Stable BJJ. The additional knowledge and experience Mr. Marez has gained is being used to enhance Mr. Marez's instruction of his students at THE TRAINING MAT. Mr. Sutton is a highly decorated competitor, being a multiple times Grapplers Quest champion and the very first Black Belt promoted by Vinny Magalhaes. Vinny, a finalist on the Ultimate Fighter and highly accomplished BJJ and No-Gi Grappling competitor, showed highly advanced techniques from the half-guard, butterfly guard and De La Riva Guard. He was a hands on trainer, and he and Peter Sutton gave individual attention to everyone involved for over three hours of action and learning. It was the first time Mr. Houston (no-gi grappling competitor) and Christopher (4 year varsity high school wrestler) grappled in a gi (traditional martial art uniform). They both commented on the many subtleties of offense and defense that the gi adds. It was a great learning experience and we were proud to be a part of such a fine training session and to be associated with individuals of their caliber.
On Saturday, July 24th 2010, staff and students of THE TRAINING MAT joined Marc "Crafty Dog" Denny for a self defense seminar held at Dan Henderson's school in Murrieta, Ca. Mr. Denny conducted a 5 hour seminar covering basic combat strategy and street application. Material covered ranged from basic hand-to-hand using the principals, angles and footwork found in Silat and Kali Tudo as well as the use and defense of weapons. We highly recommend Mr. Denny's seminars for anyone interested in learning reality based martial arts.
What a man does during turbulent times says more about his character than anything that can be said with words. Everyone associated with our family or THE TRAINING MAT knows how proud we are of our younger brother and we would like to recognize him for his dedication and hard work. On August 8, 2010, Jeremiah Houston graduated from basic training in the Air Force. He is currently going through advanced training and selection with a hard road still ahead of him. For those interested in joining us in writing campaign to keep his spirits up please do not hesitate to contact us at the school.
Mark Houston was recently awarded the Green Belt in Thai Kickboxing by Lorenzo "Coach" Rodriguez and one of his Black Belts "Smokin" Joe Sarkissian. Thai Kickboxing is a unique fighting form pioneered by Mr. Rodriguez over his extensive fighting and training career.
On Sunday, April 18th, THE TRAINING MAT competed at the Grappling X Tournament at Fight Lab, in Murrieta, Ca.
