May 2008
St Helens Stick Day
Location TBA

The 2nd Dog Brothers UK Sparring Day of the year. As always it's important to mention at the start, these events are in no way "Dog Brothers Gatherings of the Pack" though they are held with the same spirit of "No judges, no referees, no trophies. One rule only: Be friends at the end of the day. This means no one should spend the night in the hospital, and everyone should leave with the IQ that they came with". At Gatherings we fight, at Sparring Days we play (although some play harder than others). Sparring Days are an opportunity for friends to get together, share training methods and play with people outside their own groups. They normally consist of a few workshops and then some sparring at different levels of skill, contact and protective equipment.

Though they are different from Gatherings, accidents can and do happen. As such the events are open only to Dog Brothers UK members and "trusted friends". If you're not already in one of these groups and would like to attend, please feel free to contact us through scottydog[AT]dogbrothers[DOT]co[DOT]uk to allow us to "sniff you out".
