I recently finished inking this Bane Penciled by Greg Capullo. I usually spend 25-30 minutes everyday inking over some else’s work I respect and admire. I do this as an exerices to improve my own skills in Drawing and in using my brush. This piece was 100% inked with a #3 Windsor Newton Series Seven Brush. Check out Greg’s original pencils below. 
If you are unfamilar with Capullo’s work I strongly recommend checking out;Batman: The Court of Owls
It’s also well worth listening to these fantastic Fatman on Batman interviews with Greg;

We trained for nearly three hours today it was an awesome introduction to Jerry’s Red Zone Knife Defense material. In this workshop we went over unarmed verse the knife and dealt with someone trying to shank you. Prior to this workshop I had already trained knife defense in the Traditional Arts of Tang Soo Do and Aikido but I had done the most extensive amount of training in unarmed verse knife with Trent Suzuki a 4th degree black belt in the Filipino martial arts and at the time I was training with him a named expert in Hock Hockiem’s system in fact I even dug out my old Congress of American Knife Fighters training blade for this workshop. I still highly value the training I did with Trent and in the traditional arts and fell there was much value gained through those training experiences. The material Jerry presented and taught us today is however in my opinion the best knife training I’ve done to date. For those of you who missed out on this workshop we’ll be having Jerry back again soon stay tuned and don’t miss out on the next one.

Short Jab, Cross step to the angle Shovel Upper Cut followed by two short hook punches to the head. I learned the set up from Rodney King of the Crazy Monkey Defense Program. I put this drill together on my own there are an infinated number of drills found in boxing similar to this one.

Filmed from my private studio in San Diego. This is a classic Catch Wrestling throw I learned from Billy Robinson when your opponent tries to escape your over hook with a limp arm. This needs a lot more work but they’re starting to get the idea stay tuned for future updates as progress is made.

This is a drill. One guy pressures forward with low head movement the other guy ties with a single collar and delievers shots. Yes I know the correct defense to a single collar tie but for the sake of the drill we are just moving around and stuff not trying to counter.
