“How to Foul” aka Street-Boxing 1920’s Style by Mark Hatmaker

April 1^st is not for fools.

The topic of this month’s volume of mayhem for The Black Box Brotherhood is the aforementioned, “How toFoul” aka Street-Boxing 1920’s Style.

Covered will be the Root of the “Foul,” with all the drills that lead to fouling well.

We will discuss briefly “How to Hide the Fouls” but spend most of the time getting the “fouls” right so we can snag a little of that historical meanness and make it street-ready from the jump.

Only one “Foul” is glove -dependent, it can work without it, but…I’d weight all the others higher, they inflict maximum hell with minimum damage to our dainty selves.

A mini list of what’s included on this volume is below as well as a sneak peek at the next volume.

[The mini-list excises all the drill steps, that is privileged material for the pony-uppers. This volume, as with all Black Box material is video and syllabi driven historically accurate and viciously tested for scrumptiousness.]

Apache Running by Mark Hatmaker

Of the many Native American tribes of the southwest United States and Mexico the various bands of Apache carry a reputation for fierceness, resourcefulness, and an almost superhuman stamina. The name “Apache” is perhaps a misnomer as it refers to several different tribes that are loosely and collectively referred to as Apache, which is actually a variant of a Zuni word Apachu that this pueblo tribe applied to the collective bands. Apachu in Zuni translates roughly to “enemy” which is a telling detail that shines a light on the warrior nature of these collective tribes. Among the various Apache tribes you will find the Kiowa, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Chiricahua (or “Cherry-Cows” as early Texas settlers called them), and the Lipan. These bands sustained themselves by conducting raids on the various settled pueblo tribes, Mexican villages, and the encroaching American settlers. These American settlers were often immig...

A Conversation with Neil Melanson by Mark Hatmaker

Here is a chat I had with a good man with a good mind, Neil Melanson. If you are unfamiliar with Neil’s exemplary work he has coached at Xtreme Couture, Alliance MMA, and a HC with the Blackzilians. He is now at gym Genesis Training Academy and Coach of the Filthy Few MMA team. -DVDs out are: Head Hunter, Catchwrestling, and Ground Marshal guard basics -book Mastering Triangle Chokes -black belt under Karo Parisyan in the Hayastan Grappling System First things first, Brother Neil, thanks for taking the time to have this chat. Allow me to get another thing out of the way, your book Mastering Triangle Chokes , top-notch. This is high-speed, low-drag stuff all the way. Often there is chaff to be culled through, but you have a linear approach that appeals to the pragmatic streak in me. Excellent work. Thanks a lot man. You are a real articulate and detailed coach so that means a lot coming from you. Your approach to grappling appeals to my expansiv...

Walk Like a Warrior by Mark Hatmaker

In reading contemporary historical accounts written by soldiers (cavalry and dragoon), settlers, scouts, pioneers, and other citizens of the American frontier 1680s-1880s, I find mention that Native Americans (“Indians” or “Savages” in the accounts) did not walk like “white men.” Their gait, stride, and foot placement is described often in poetic terms as “light” or “light-footed,” “fleet”, “gliding”, and often times “springy” or “spring-like.” These terms while descriptive of the effect do little to tell us the how or why of the gait. We can find clues in accounts given by trackers in any of the myriad “Indian Wars” or skirmishes that riddled the continent in the first few centuries of the settling of the nation. The obvious telltale barefoot or soft impression of a moccasin is often a giveaway that you have a Native American track but this is less so in the moccasined foot as more and more Anglo backwoodsmen adopted this footwear. But there are a few accounts that mention ...
