Fisticuffs

[Todd Wolov]

I was feeling nostalgic and watched my fisticuffs tapes for the first time in a long time. I still feel like it is great material. I was wondering about the efficacy or relevance of this material and if there will be any more martial arts offering again. Also is blackjack an incarnation of flowbox? Is this program more of a fitness program or are there aspects of fighting to be gleaned from it? Is there any correlation between this material and the fisticuffs program from a decade ago? Any and all thoughts on any of these questions would be appreciated.

Hey Todd,
I started the BlackJack program, but due to a shoulder injury I had to pump the breaks. I'm about to start it up again in a week.

I believe the material's main focus was improving fitness. But, Coach Jones loaded it with progresive skill aquisition as well. Speed, balance, timing, and combo's saturate the material. So, if you have a buddy to train with, I'd do it.
