Mel Gibson was trained up with it and was interviewed extensively for the magazines in which the 'art' was discussed. He also trained, I seem to recall, with the Gracies as well as one other - ive forgotten - leading up to the film. Pat Davies Aberdeen UK It was called Jail House Rock. I guess it's prison fighting.

Profiling the Surma people of southwest Ethiopia, near the border of Southern Sudan. Included: traditional stick fighting ; lip plates. Wednesday, 2 8:00 PM Thursday, 3 12:00 AM Saturday, 5 12:00 PM The times are for California. I don't know how the Discovery Channel sets it times so check your local listings." FWIW, I don't know if this is the same piece or not, but the African stickfighting footage in the beginning segment of the first Dog Brothers tape was of the Surmese.

It airs on the Travel Channel on occassion. Well worth a look too!

For others a heads up: If you do any dealings with a J. Castro (aka Ms. J) be warned. She says very racist things, makes things up and changes things around, and is so out there you would not believe. Especially everyone who practices Korean arts. You should hear the things she says about Korea, Koreans, and Hapkido. Be warned!
