Down ‘n’ Dirty: A Rough ‘n’ Tumble Arsenal of “Dirty Tricks”
Let us begin with an historical snapshot, this is but one of the multitudes I could have chosen to illustrate.
The following excerpt is from Whitman Mead’s Travels in North America [1820.]
The author refers to an incident he witnessed in 1817 while travelling though Georgia.
Such gatherings, according to Mead, occurred 2-3 times per week where folks would gather to fellowship, feast, drink, dance, gamble, exchange wares, and often following the ever-present horse-race a public challenge may be issued.
At which time:
“A ring is formed, free for anyone to enter and fight…After a few rounds, they generally clinch, throw down, bite and gouge, and the conquered creeps out under the ring as a signal of his submission.”
Mead tells of meeting several past combatants who had noses bitten off, eyes gouged out, and more than a few who had been castrated in such affairs.
Many of these now unsavory tactics were not mere desperation moves in the heat-of-battle, but sought for targets-of-acquisition with their own strategy and methods.
They have gone by many names: Pugglin’, Jonesin’, Grindin’, Gougin’ among them.
The October volume of the Black Box Brotherhood DVD/Print Course will offer an encyclopedia of Rough n Tumble CQB gouging, ripping, tearing, biting, thumbing, chinning, hamburgering, and sundry ways to inflict pain and maim in unsavory ways.
This an arsenal of unorthodox Old School ways on-the-ground, in the clinch, and on the feet.
These tactics were all once thought kosher, now, well, only appropriate for street-ready self-defense.
The material includes…
· A breakdown of all the non-standard pugglin’ unarmed arsenal on the ground—Both On Top & Underneath.
· A clinical breakdown of the precise targets from head-to-toe while on the feet. [This will go clinical in language to highlight precisely what is being targeted and how.]
· Nothing is off-limits: Included are an Old School method to train eye-pluckin’, the precise way to inflict a “false-gouge” that was used in “friendlier” matches “to preserve the orb but blood the eye” and, well, let’s just say this is about as mean as it gets.
· Solo Drills: Let’s face it, that is the only real way to train such material. If you’ve got a heavy bag, a floor bag [or throwing dummy], a piece of cloth, and perhaps an apple or two, you’ll be good to go!
Includes…
· One detail laden DVD w/…
· 96 Targets [Standing & On the Ground]
· 254 Unorthodox Attacks on Said Targets
· And a 14-page syllabus for ease of training integration.
· You’ll never look at the up close and personal game the same way again!
It is now available!
· Sale Price of $75 S&H included. [$85 International.]
· Black Box Brotherhood, no worries you snag this at your usual greatly discount Family Price.
2 Caveats
Caveat 1: Vacation
The Missus and I will be in travel mode until October 10th. Orders of Down ‘n’ Dirty can be made now or at any time [as can all else in our store] just be advised we will not be mailing out until our return.
We will ship according to order received—in other words, ya order today, you’re at the top of the list upon our return.
Thanks for your patience!
Caveat 2: Not for All
· All sales outside of the Black Box Brotherhood will be subject to review.
· That is, we shall delve into one’s social media a tad.
· The material is of such a nature that I am only comfortable dealing with mature heads-on straight, Brothers & Sisters.
· My subjectively perceived volatile grousing ones will receive a refund and a thank you for consideration.
· Always assume my character judgment is off if you receive a refund.
· I must follow my karmic dictates.
