Dale Dugas - Iron Body

[Dale Dugas]

Maybe I'm wrong, but some of the strikes were a bit on the lame side; also, his uniform is large enough to hide some padding under it.

Wrong on both accounts.

Anytime you want to post up vids of you doing the same thing, feel free.

Until then maybe you should train harder?

[golden arhat]

i dont mean to have a go or anything i really like your stuff and i respect you etc

but would you let bas ruten kick you in the ribs ?

[Akronviper]

bruising is bruising. The idea is that your internal organs are not getting injured. Surface bruises will always occur. With iron shirt, they simply don't penetrate.

I understand that, just wondering if he looked like he was in a car wreck afterwards.

[Dale Dugas]

i thought that too

the people hitting him didnt look too solid

and its not too hard to take a few punches to the gut especcially if your a big guy like dale

Actually both of the men are teachers in the Jiulong Baguazhang Association and Gene has met both of them. They are solid and would gladly show you how hard they hit me.

Would love to see you eat some kicks to the ribs young one.

If Im ever in the same place I would love to see what he could dish out.

Actually I get minimal bruising.

Nothing compared to the beating I take.

thats good man believe me so would i! (that is on you of course )

thats the thing i see with iron body demos tho, the people doing the striking dont look too tough

either that or its a pole of some sort


do you still feel it when you get hit or what?

[Dale Dugas]

I can feel the power but I move it down through my structure into the ground. In a real fight I would give it back to the person hitting me with some interest.

Being hit does not bother me much.

But then as Gene said, I'm a monster

[David Jamieson]

do you feel it when you get hit?

of course you feel it, but with the exercises and gongs being employed, you recover quickly and in many instances are un-phased by fairly decent strikes.

There is of course a mental attitudinal aspect.

Iron 'anything' training will teach you a whole lot about yourself and just how resilient you are and just how much pain is based purely in perception.

a combination of conditioning and mental toughness are the net result of the training.

Hey Gene

Was this what you were talking about

[cjurakpt]

Dale's a friggin' huge monster of a dude. Even without Iron Body, it'd be tough to get a punch in through that thick hide of his. If I needed to do so, I'd bring a bat... a bat with spikes through the top... big sharp pointy spikes.

You'd just **** him off....

I think he uses one of those things to brush his teeth, anyway...

Ah dude, have you seen that Juku video where Genki Sudo tees off on some guys ribs with full force thai round kicks and they do nothing ?

Greeting...
Dear Dale,

I do hope this response finds you and your loved ones well; hopefully, you don’t mind me taking this liberty; however, I felt this statement should be made in private in respect to you and me. As you well know these forum are a bit on the tilted side of mockery; however, that wasn’t my intent in my statement. I was simply commenting on what I saw; hence, valid or not I do have an opinion.

However, I have no need to display my skills on video or train per se harder, because I know my skills, but thanks for suggestion.

Inclosing, I have the pleasure of being an acquaintance of your Shifu for years.

Regards,
Ty

Unfortunately it seems that his passive aggressiveness gets in the way of making sense.

He does not deserve any respect as he mentions in his PM as he gave none in his original post.

Seems we have another mouthboxer who does not have to reveal who they are or what they have trained in but they can critique rather than demonstrate.

Wulong,

What is your name?

What style do you train in?

Who is your Teacher?

If you do not train in Iron Vest how can feel at all confident in attacking the demo?

Rather than open your mouth and place your foot there why not train more so you can make a video that shows a proper Iron Vest Demo.

[ngokfei]

I always enjoy these demos but they will always be critcized, especially when there is no outside control agent.

He uses his students/classmates for the demo. If your trying to demonstrate to the public it would be better to use individuals you have no contact with.

I think it would be hard to get Bas to get into this but there are alot of good striking schools in your area that probably would love the opportunity to test your skill.

Hey, you might even attract a bigger following.

Dear Dave,

Thank you; I was trying to be respectful; hence, sending my message as a PM, not posting on the thread to add more wood to the fire; I gather that didn’t work.

I gather you didn’t perceive my courtesy, which understandable; however, I was being sincere.

Does it truly matter, who I am, when at the end of the day I’m insignificant just another screen name in this void?
