'The reason to accept the dangers of “Real Contact Stick Fighting” originates from the desire to develop not just as fighters but as human beings. “RCSF” has an enormous effect on the person involved. Stick-fighting is a dangerous and adrenaline intensive experience, therefore it is critical to be internally centered during a fight. That is, the more deeply one finds his center in the fight the bigger the transformation is and more fundamental the understanding. This is explained in our Credo as: “Higher consciousness through harder contact.”

Dog Brothers have the codex during the stick-fight that;
- One should be friends at the end of a fight.
- Nobody should spend the night in the hospital.
- Everyone should go home with the IQ they came with.
This means that we never hit, if the opponent is in a hopeless situation and can no longer defend himself. Also, we adapt our fight to the level of the opponent. It is absolutely not in our best interest to break the fighting spirit of anybody. However, it is also a sign of respect to our opponent when we try to hit him as hard as possible because this shows we believe in his abilities as a stick-fighter. If we do not test them to their limit they will never know if their technique works or not. If however, we test him to hard, we risk breaking his fighting spirit and he will then never become a better fighter. The goal of a “pack” must be to carefully build up its members and thereby to strengthen itself.'
