It is fascinating. But I've been divided for a while over the haka thing. It's meant to create a sort of high to put the men into battle mode, pump up the adrenaline and push away their own fears. At the same time instilling fear in the enemy. There's something to be said for the calculating white man's methods too. A haka could be construed as demonstrating a weakness, you're afraid so you want to scare. It is also a waste of valuable energy. Let me put it to you this way; in the absense of other factors like weapons I prefer to fight someone that's freaking out as opposed to someone who's calmly looking to take me out.

Real skill and control are developed in practice that is close reality. I agree that the punishment they take is too much for any body. Even when you're good you're going to take hits. It adds up and takes its toll on the body. For me now it's a balance between how much can I get out of it confidence and skill wise versus how much my body has to endure. It's pretty shitty knowing what effect something like a twisted ankle can have in the long run.

All I gotta say is you gotta be at the top of your game to do that stuff. I don't know how they can do that in a controlled manner.
Monster, what I saw in the vids you posted looks different to me to the dog brothers stuff.
Some of that stick twirling is BS.
Putting one of those practitioners with the dog brothers will be like putting a kung fu guy in the UFC.

Mostly some long overdue touch ups, bottom paint, some chips, a broken support beam on the trailer, and an engine tilt problem.

Pantoja is becoming a gearhead
-
I saw Pantoja was using the Cressi Minima mask after his old good luck beater mask finally had it. I always thought something has to be wrong with these tiny masks otherwise everyone would be using them because of the low volume. It does appear to be more fragile than a normal mask because of the little plastic material in the middle. I'll post a report on it once I use it.

Que son cropofagos?

Regardless very nice work. I wouldn't know where to begin to make something like that. If it was a solid piece of wood I can see carving it.

Beautiful artwork. I don't understand are you implying that it's made only using a table saw?

I think you got the countries mixed up
Music: Pablo Milanés - Cuba y Puerto Rico
Cuando se alzó mi bandera
la tuya lo haría igual,
y fue esa vez la primera
que juntos quisimos volar.
Más tarde una voz amada
gritó con mucha razón:
“Cuba y Puerto Rico son
de un pájaro las dos alas”.
“Cuba y Puerto Rico son
de un pájaro las dos alas”.Puerto Rico, ala que cayó al mar,
que no pudo volar,
yo te invito a mi vuelo
y buscamos juntos el mismo cielo.Condiciones que no tienen
que ver con tirar un tiro
nos abrieron el camino
mientras a ti te detienen.
Esta tarea inconclusa
tenemos que terminar,
pues quieren ver el final
todos los muertos de ambos.
Por donde salgas, yo salgo,
siempre te voy a apoyar.
Por donde salgas, yo salgo,
siempre te voy a apoyar.Puerto Rico, ala que cayó al mar,
que no pudo volar,
yo te invito a mi vuelo
y buscamos juntos el mismo cielo.Siguiendo el mismo camino
nos volvemos a encontrar
para juntos reclamar
que se cambie tu destino.
Y si acaso le negaran
lo que por fuerza es de usted,
yo lo invito a volar esta vez
con el machete en las alas.
yo lo invito a volar esta vez
con el machete en las alas.Puerto Rico, ala que cayó al mar,
que no pudo volar,
yo te invito a mi vuelo
y buscamos juntos el mismo cielo.Puerto Rico, ala que cayó al mar,
que no pudo volar,
yo te invito a mi vuelo
y buscamos juntos el mismo cielo.........................Pablo Milanés
Based on Lola Rodríguez' de Tió (1843-1924) poem ”Cuba”.
