วีดีโอ

Hope you can get a full screen for next week. Cheers

Reportedly my grandfather used to fight with head buts, actually if never occurred to me to practice it. Very smart of you, if you do out carefully. Cheers

I enjoyed that tune a lot! Really cool! Love the vibe and the message! God bless!

Awesome! This workout looks like it would have me gasping for air! Good work Sir

Great tempo/control of your body. Doing exercises with a slower cadence/technique makes them much more challengening as well as more effective for the muscles targeted, rather than loose bouncing form

Humble pie 🎂 indeed, the problem is that we vomit it 😣 that is a very powerful drill 😀 . Cheers

What a great visualisation when throwing the hook. "Slamming the door"

Hey Mitch is this supposed to be done in a circuit? Like timing how quick you can do a cirtian amount of rounds of the circuit?

Hey Mitch do you have any ideas on how to make decent enough sandbags on a budget?

👍

Good workout idea. Ill try it soon. Love training with the floor bag!

I should probably take down all of the old Cabal Fang videos, but I really don't want to, because I refuse to be one of those fake people who tries to hide past sins, sanitize history, cover up mistakes and pretend perfection. Cabal Fang was the name of the martial arts style and the Order of Seven Hills was the name of the club back in 2009. There was so much wrong with that project that in 2021 we decided to rebrand as Heritage Arts and make a clean break. When I wrote the pledge 15 years ago, I was struggling with my faith, and I wanted the pledge to work for everyone -- for atheists, agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Wiccans, anyone. We are a public charity, and we get all kinds out there. Legally, as a federally-recognized charity, we must serve the public. Now, ontop of that, as a Christian clergyman, I'm also called to love and serve all God's children. The funny thing is, even though I am not the same man now that I was when I wrote it (I entered seminary in 2017 and was ordained in 2023) the pledge still works for everyone, and we still use it (see below). I believe God steered me in writing it. Because the 4 great archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel) project us in all directions, and these are the places we cross ourselves; God is our higher power (even to those who do not know him!); we should always pray for protection against the assaults of the evil one; and the Latin (Ex Gladio Scientia means "From the Sword comes Knowledge") is amazing. When I originally wrote it, I intended it to mean that we learn about ourselves through fighting. But at the time I did not know that it also refers to the Sword of Discernment given to us by Christ (Heb 4:12, Matt 10:34-36). It's a great pledge for Christians and non-Christians alike, and I stand behind it: "To North, South, East, and West, to our higher powers and better selves, we ask and send our blessings; that we may train with sincerity, outside the influence of evil forces, and successfully embody the 5 virtues of Heritage rough and tumble: Wonder, Sagacity, Frugality, Indominability, and Fraternity. Ex Gladio Scientia. Huss!" God Bless!

I made myself a slip ball and i'm really having fun with getting some good work in with it. Thank you for the idea.I'll send you a picture sometime.

Hi Mitch that was an interesting blessing. Just curious, where does it originate? It reminds me of some new age type stuff. No offense. As a Christian I pray to the God of the bible and I know you do too so I'm just curious about where this type of blessing ritual stems from? Thank you and I love all your content! Chris

Hope you solve your technical problems 😀 and thank you for your effort. Cheers

Interesting drill, i suppose it can be done with a quarter, albeit the sound feedback would be very poor. Cheers

I've watched you from a distance, I will more regularly watch your channels. Your way of life is good.

Very interesting. You probably know that Cap. W. E. Fairbairn in his book: ALL-IN FIGHTING 1942, pag. 12 said the opposite. Context I suppose, and the use of surprise by the author of "Defendu" instead of changing blows in sparring or a fight. Cheers

You can do it easy or you can do it right. Good presentation

Boooo booooooo

Another thought provoking video! Agree with what you say about paper note taking over digital! I cant remember much I read from online. I don't take enough notes though. BTW Been following your Indian Clubs tutorials with my newly acquired clubs.Its much harder than it looks but im feeling like im getting lots benefits from this already. Can't wait to take it further! God bless Fr Mitch, Greg.

#2--highly underrated

💥Good stuff‼️

This is great, thank you

If I can mention the serenity prayer: " give me serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference, amen. " Cheers

Your content and martial arts are excellent sir, respects from the UK.

Very nice, Guy Windsor (a HEMA, sword man) says that: "you should finish your training sessions healthier than when you started", cheers.

A very similar technique is used in Irish bare knuckle boxing.

Also add in Mr AL Cases's Outlaw Karate and his Matrix Aikido Books.

1800 views in one day. I'd say that is popular.

That was a very helpful video, thank you for making it.

👍

I have those very same gloves and have never seen anyone else wearing them until now. LOL! Please, carry on.

thats a very cool little gym you got yourself Sir. Old school to me means to not ignore wisdom that was passed down and putting principles before other stuff.

I agree with your advice about your wife. I was told by my priest during a talk to compliment something different about her everyday. That way you keep "noticing" her. I didn't think about the situational awareness aspect.

How would we use the secret code B737 here without giving it away? Anyway, many people experience religion through multiple -even all four - P's but still become atheists…

Looks like some more great ideas to try out. Finally ordered a set of Indian Clubs so looking forward to trying out all the techniques and tips from your videos on the topic!

These all make sense. I wouldn't call them "bizarre" at all.

Other people will sometimes give you information that you didn't know just because they want to share their opinion about it.

👍

Loving the evolutionary psychology perspective, Im a big fan of Carl Jung's ideas & your use of birds as signs of..... for want of a better term "disturbance" in the force" is as ancient as it is wise here & now. Community is "our" self-defence, self-sufficiency by rugged individuals is precarious hardwork especially when accidents or ill health happen - so we are a social species. Ps come for the sandbags & creativity of training ..staying for the wisdom🙏

I know a lot of these old [Sandow, Maxick, Charles Atlas et al (& others)]exercises, this area new to me, thank you. Cheers

As an Episcopalian, a bit distant from the ⛪ church I thank you for the amount of respect that you put into the mass. Cheers

Haha try any of that stuff when I just full on go in swinging! Martial arts don't work 😂

I’m currently practicing the bracing and framing and rough and tumble strikes

The bigger they are, the more weight is on the foot and ankle. Nobody can build up their foot or ankle to where it doesn't scream pain when it gets stomped. If your aggressor can't run after you, you can run or skip away while taunting them. 😅

Another interesting video. Had never heard of the warpost until your previous video. Thanks for expanding on the idea. Always enjoy trying different activities and ideas for physical and mental resilience. Particularly enjoying old school training ideas as I get older. BTW found supplier that sells Indian Clubs here in Australia and am looking forward to implementing these back into training! Thanks again for the uploads Fr Mitch 🙂

The good Parkour practitioners, all practice progressively - kerbbing { improving their precisions standing jumps on roadside kerbs for distance & distance judgement} & ground level skills {especially rolling & impact taking preps} + alot of 3D tag games.. timeless kids games but instinctive training too. Loving your version of the dummy, ive made a few variations of the idea, but look forward to making your version too, thanks for the inspiration🙏

Always practical, simple and frugal

Great pod, Mitch! I did basically the same thing with a 4" deep front pad to a 10 X 12 shed and I topped it with a thin 1/2" layer of regular concrete while the mudcrete was still wet. You wouldn't know it was a mudcrete job. The mudcrete was a little more wet than yours, and I didn't spend any time curing it with frequent wettings. It has been more than 5 years now, and it is still as good as when it was new.
