Is it going to be set up like The Dog Brothers, with light head gear?
or no head gear at all?
or no head shots?

Hello Everyone,

Yes, this is a great and very challenging event!

Most people do not know any of the history behind the early Sayoc Fighting Systems matches that went on in the 70's and 80's, full contact no armor, all out. But this is definitely a chance for those who talk and train in Filipino arts to experience another level to their stick fighting.

Marvin - This is not a "Dog Brothers" style match up. There is no armor and head shots are allowed.

I hope you have an EMT there.

Good luck.

 

[Feisty Mouse]

Holy cow.

Not for me, thanks - I hope everyone who attends takes care of themselves as best they can.

And what is the insurance for hosting something like that?!?!?

Do you really think that an insurance company would authorize this kind of event? You should see the hoops that I had to hop threw for my home owners insurance to cover my dogs! For those who participate, make sure your health insurance is up to date!!

I'd like more information on some of the issues presented (insurance, liability, location...) before I start contacting anyone directly about the event. The contact/'fighting' aspect isn't an issue for me so much as the 'sanctioning' and administrative issues (EMT's on site, insurance...) and this idea that there are 'no rules' IMO will always be a load of BS in a commerical event because there is no way on God's green earth that an event with no rules would get 'sanctioned' or insured.

Besides, if there are no rules (and more importantly, no consequences), then i win because I'll bring my car instead of a stick .

Hello Loki....,

If you are worried about liability, EMT, etc. then you have every right not to accept the open invitation to fight. No one stated this was a commercial/sanctioned type of event, only that it is open to everyone who is willing to put it on the line and fight.

Also, I do believe I wrote "Stick fighting", if you choose to drive a car then you could, theoretically stick fight within the car.(LOL)

ps: There is a video clip at www.Sayoc.com, that shows Tuhon cortes and Guro Mendez fighting no armor, just a brief view but it can give you an idea of what it can be like.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes I am declining to participate because there is 'putting on the line' and being 'reckless' IMO.

As far as calling it a 'stick fight' one of the very core ideas of a 'no rules' fight is that there are 'no rules' so by 'breaking the rules' of bringing my car I am technically within the 'rules'.....I have a head ache now.

Won't do much for the concussions (or liability) of the headaches post event. Have fun, hope everybody coming out the other end can still recite the alphabet.

Theres no laws regarding unsanctioned fighting events in Pennsylvania?

Understood, using the term not in the legal/literal application so much as the 'up and up' responsible application. Tim H made a good point about EMT's on site and insurance and such...having a flash back to those risk assessment charts they made us do in NCO school to evaluate the danger level of missions/operations and such....

Risk/reward - is it worth it to you for, essentially, a hobby? Not me. Hell, we still used ropes, carried first aid kits and double checked each others knots when we were rock climbing. Take risks, sure. But control the range of and the impact of the risk with some judgement/precautions/safety considerations.
