Yes, Stickgrappler has taught me much.
Thanks!
ttt for Stickgrappler- a class act all the way.
ok, you guys. i just got back from the hat store. my head is so big from reading the comments on here that i needed a new hat :-)
i regret that i did not focus my time and energy on the MA and chose to hang out with my buddies instead as a form of stress release of the pressures of working full time in the day to support my night classes. also, another regret, i did not practice the MA continuously since the age of 10 with my dad :-(
ttt for Stickgrappler and check out his awesome
website. He is amassing an encyclopedia of
practical martial arts information. Also, eyery once
in a while let him know how much you appreciate
his website, he puts a lot of work into it and needs
to know we like it.

"Contra Mestre Dennis Newsome - to check out jailhouse rock/52"
Hey, Stick. I live here in Dallas, and I guess that you know through your research that Dennis Newsome has a sister school here. While they teach Sao Bento Grande style Capoeira, and Kelenda stick fighting I was wondering if a person trained there, and showed a sincere desire to learn the Afro/Brazillian arts, if they would be receptive to teaching an outsider Jailhouse Rock/52.What do you think?
How is the research coming?
one point i neglected to post above but thought i did: i have not had any formal MA classes. the closest is the handful of seminars i was fortunate to be able to attend. also the little my dad taught me of tai chi and WCK and a very little taste of hung ga (tang fung/wong fei hung lineage). i have 2 training partners much more experienced than me and we sometimes get together in a park to bang sticks or hit focus mitts or kick the thai pads or do some knife drills. we do not have access to mats so no grappling yet. there's not much level ground with grass in that park :-( now with 3 young kids, i don't think i will be able to sign up for classes anytime soon.
Sickboy13,
the following comment is not meant to be racist in any way or as an attack on CM Newsome or anyone affiliated with him: from what i gathered CM Newsome is receptive to teaching students he feels he can trust the JHR/52 provided they are African-American. i could be wrong on this. so if you fit the profile, maybe you have a shot. i can email him if you want.
re: JHR/52 research - i had a few leads, but due to work and newborn recently, i have not been able to follow up. there was a potential lead in which i've forwarded contact info to forum member and friend Jason Couch, in hopes that he can get together with this one guy who emailed me. unfortunately, the guy is in the military (or something to that nature) and shipped out. i am pretty much caught up with work for being off for 2 wks and i have a new email from "Big Red" (he's the guy who informed of the Alto 52's) and i will start up with him again on monday and the other ones.
"Guro Marc "Crafty Dog" Denny - despite some forum members experiences :-), i feel with my limited experience in MA now, he has much to offer. www.dogbrothers.com is his site."
Hummm, i wonder who your refering too?
"my young apprentice, you have much to learn"

Steve,
actually i do have much to learn - you are correct. just soaking it all up from all the various sources.
and that comment was not meant as a dis on you. if it came across that way, please accept my sincerest apologies.

I'll learn and pass it on...
that's why i probably won't be able to learn it.
stick -
i'm totally joking man - that you'd pick up on that -
i think marc can stick fight. i'll give him that.
he is just uncordindated, and cant remember any techs - i mean even the most basic of techs - and he has no control when tring to do techs - thats why i say people have nothing to learn from marc - it litterally took him 2.5 time longer to get his instructorship, and even then it was political. i could go on and on about it. like after 2 weeks in the PI he still couldn't get the stuff we learnt the 1st day - he was still stuck tring to get it - we all moved on and he couldnt cause he didnt get move 1 -
the stories are endless.
At best, he's like a tard who can fight due to tard strength, theres no ryme or rythm to it, and he certainly couldnt teach that in a set of techs

Thanks for the offer, Stick. But, I am white. I hope CM Newsome changes his mind someday.
Steve,
it's the lack of sleep from the feedings of the newborn. sorry - did not pick up on the joking.
Sickboy13,
if you are sincere and show an interest, he may be teach you? who knows? only you would know by approaching your instructor and/or him. just don't hold your breath on it. good luck!
