Is there anyone out there who could describe the 12 angles of Danny Guba Doce Pares for me. I am planning to return to training after a long absence and I want to brush up a bit before I do. Someone asked about the Doce Pares angles in an earlier thread but the angles that were listed were not as I remembered. Perhaps they were not the Danny Guba version.
No problem. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/12angles.png/ 1. Slash to temple 2. Slash to temple 3. Slash to shoulder 4. Slash to shoulder 5. Thrust to abdomen 6. Thrust to abdomen 7. Slash to knee 8. Slash to knee 9. Thrust to chest 10. Thrust to chest 11. Downward strike to head 12. Slash to optical nerve.
You could also buy one of the instructional DVD's Danny has available. Volume 1 is the one you want. http://www.apex-suppliers.com/DVDs2.html Not really DVD's to learn from, more of a memory jogger.
I recommend checking out Wild Geese in Dublin. Paul Cox is a Doce Pares Instructor under Danny Guba and one of the good guys. http://www.wildgeesema.com/
Being a bit picky there Bill. Optical nerve/temple, what are we talking about, half an inch at the most? Also as you know all strikes can (and are) practiced as full strikes and half strikes (witik).
Picky? Not intentionally, Simon. When Danny teaches beginners, its a horizontal, retracting strike to the temple. Just keeping it clear for newbies. Bill
