The other "fight clubs" are for sissies

At the August Dog Brothers "Gathering of the Pack" in Southern California, it was "Anything goes," according to one warrior (looking to fight with "blunted knives"). A Reuter's reporter witnessed two men without padding beat each other with heavy sticks and two others fight with electrically charged knives. The latter duel ended when, during a wrestling hold, one slipped a hand free and planted a 1,000-volt surge. The action seems exhilarating. Said one, "I've never felt better than when I'm doing this." Another: "Honestly, I wish I could find a church with the same spirit of support and love (as I feel here)." Said "Crafty Dog" Denny, it's "higher consciousness through harder contact."
