Sunday With Blackthorn - Today We Cover The Lamb Method Of Stickwork

 Most of you guy have either seen the manual, or maybe Ralph doing a partial Demo of the The Lamb Method of Baton use. Originally developed by Artur Lamb Of the Boston PD. It was an effective method for defensive use that greatly reduced the incidence of lethal or permanent injuries. The method was eventually used in most major cities in the U.S. as well as in several foreign countries.

The videos below are being demonstrated by a guy named Dan Avila. Mr. Avila has a Facebook Page called 'Knuckle Up'. Originally it showed clips of him demo-ing various self defense techniques from WW2 and earlier Manuals. However his page, being initially Public, some FB trolls took offense at the material he presented, and accordingly Mr. Avila wound up in Facebook jail. 

He eventually got tired of that and changed his focus to boxing related material, focusing mainly on boxing styles from the early 20th century period. Specifically the transitional period between Bareknuckle and the early introduction of gloved boxing, and with an emphasis on boxing as it can be applied to self defense.

Anyway, while the intros to his videos can be a little over the top,  he does a pretty good job of demonstrating techniques and methods that he shows. This short series of videos, I feel, present a good overall picture of the The Lamb Method.
